| VHS Tape Description Based on an improbable but true story, Cool Runnings concerns the Jamaican bobsled team that competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Director Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenon) does a fine job with both the absurdity of the situation (the athletes had never even seen snow) and the passion behind it (their desire to compete and win). John Candy, in one of his last roles, is touching as a disgraced coach who seizes the opportunity to work with the Jamaicans as a chance for redemption. The bobsled scenes look good, and the races are exciting. The climax, which is entirely unexpected, takes the film to a wholly different level, even if events in the story don't quite match the facts. --Tom Keogh |

Cool Runnings This is one of my favourite movies that I have seen. The people in the movie are very hilarious. The characters are all very funny, especially Sanka Coffey. It is fun simply because it is full of Jamaican accents. No matter how many times I see this movie, this movie will still be very funny. If you have never seen this movie before, you should see it.
YAH MAN Cool Runnnings is one of the best movies of all time, I am suprised it is not a blockbuster, everyone from the ages of 1 to 1000 will love this movie, if you like comedy's, this movie is hilarious,if you like sports/action, it has a lot of cool scenes on the bobsled track, this was a great movie, and it is one of those movies you can watch a million times and laugh every time.
A Fantastic Movie 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. |
