Fun Caribbean type movie March 17, 2008
Esperanza Reynolds (Miami Lakes, Florida)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A Jamaican man has the dream to make it to the Olympics, and while he is the fastest runner in the Island nation, he is tripped and unable to win.
He finds out that there is another opportunity, and that is for a bobsled team, something Jamaica has never attempted because... who would ever dream of a team from a Caribbean Island that competes against the best of the best... they don't even know about snow!!!
John Candy is a retired Olympic gold medal winner and he lives in Kingston. The team enlists his services and soon we find ourselves witnessing a rather funny story of a group of athletes going to compete in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where cold is something beyond every conceivable idea of this group of four great athletes.
Simply, don't' miss this fun Caribbean story of the struggle to achieve greatness.

no issues with this purchase. Got a little nervous because it didn't arrive until the day before Xmas, but otherwise fine.
 A Crunchy Parental Review of January 19, 2008

This is the story of the Jamaican bobsled team that made it to the Olympics. It is based on a true story.
Unfortunately, true or not, there are scenes you just don't want children to see, and we were prettty shocked that it was rated only PG.
We could maybe have lived with one character calling another "*ssh*le", but there is an extended scene in a bar, involving a bar fight, during which the drinking, name-calling and fighting in that scene bracket another scene in the mens room of the bar, where one of the characters looks into a mirror and says, over and over, " I'm a bad-*ss mother who don't take no cr*p off of nobody!"
If these don't bother you - or if your child is of an age where you feel it's ok for them to see these scenes - then "Cool Runnings" is an otherwise ok movie. But these scenes were of a magnitude that for us this movie was definitely not ok.

Love this movie. Very happy with this DVD. I had the same movie before but for some reason it would not play any more. Never had that happen with any other DVD I own.
