Cool Runnings

Summary: YAH MAN
Review: I have always loved this movie. It is one to make you laugh. The characters are all very funny, especially Doug E. Doug's character, Sanka Coffey. It is inspirational as well. They had something they wanted to do, and they gave it their all, even when people were laughing at them and telling them they were stupid for trying. It also always gives me a sense of pride when they all finish the race in the end. Also, it is fun simply because it is full of Jamaican accents. No matter how many times I see it, I will still feel the same. I know this because I have already seen this many, many times.

Summary: Inspirational Film!
Review: I know what it was like for my family to watch the Jamaican Bobsled team in Calgary in '88. And watching this movie brings back the pride and the memories of that time. Also it was nice to add a touch of humor to it :) This film is a must see and it truly is and inspirational film. It makes you realize that you can accomplish anything if you put your heart, mind and soul into it!

Review: I like this movie because it is cool how they make it to the winter Olimpics. I allso like it how Sanka has that looky egg. And at the last part of the movie how one of the Bobsled legs fall off and they carry it across the finish line.

Summary: This Is A Really Great Movie
Review: I own this video, and I think that this is one of the best movies in the world. The movie is based on the story of the Jamaican bobsled team which was new to the Olympics in 1988. However the plot is pretty serious, but a lot of laughs are incorporated. Leon does a great job of carrying the movie along, with a hilarious performance from Doug E. Doug. The ending of the film is unexpected, however the movie is completely enjoyable. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants to relax and see a heartwarming movie.

Summary: A wonderful movie!
Review: I remember I first saw this movie when I was a little girl. I absolutely loved it! Not only could I relate to the Jamaican characters, but I could feel the emotions as they were filmed-- defeat, determination, betrayal, cultural insensitivity. I cried at the end. This was a wonderful film about determination.

Summary: Cool Runnings warms the heart
Review: I remember seeing this movie in the theatre when it first came out. It's the heart-warming true story behind the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team. After jumping through numerous hoops such as racial discrimination, a coach with a shady past, and a rickety bobsled, they land themselves a bobsledding spot in the Winter Olympics, something Jamaica never had before.
John Candy gives a stellar performance, unfortunately it was one of his last. At times he's comical, while others, more dramatic. He's a character easy to fall in love with. I miss him.
Overall, Cool Runnings teaches the fundamentals of determination and never letting anything come between yourself and your dreams. Even when catastrophy ended the Jamaican's third bobsled run, they still got up and carried their sled across the finish line. Even if their time didn't earn a gold medal, their heart did.

Summary: A whole lot better than I expected
Review: I wasn't expecting much from this somewhat fact-based tale of the formation and exploits of the first Jamacian bobsled team, but it ended up being quite charming for all that, despite the presence of the normally-annoying John Candy. A very nice way to expend no braincells for an hour and a half and laugh quite a bit in the process. The script is a little obvious at times as Malik Yoba (in his first role-- he's going places, trust me on this) falls into the hate-love role with one of his teammates and John Candy gives inspirational speeches, but this isn't the kind of film that you rent expecting a really good script. Go in expecting nothing and you'll get a very pleasant surprise.
