Description
Based on a loyal story, this is the comedic tale of 4 Jamaican athletes going to extremes to contest as bobsled racers at the Winter Olympics. With couple of resources and probably no idea about winter sports, it’s an ascending march for this unit from the tropics who have been shifting on thin ice as they go for the bullion in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything mount in their way, these 4 Jamaicans enroll the assistance of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider declared Irv. Unavoidably drawn at the back of to a competition he had come to loathe, Irv is faced with coaching a group of finish novices. But once committed, he is dynamic to spin them around and to someway right the wrongs of his own unsuccessful career. It’s a rough float but with pride, determination, and dignity, the bobsledders have their unfit dreams come true.Amazon.com
Based on an extraordinary but loyal story, Cool Runnings concerns the Jamaican bobsled group that competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Director Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenon) does a excellent pursuit with both the stupidity of the incident (the athletes had never even seen snow) and the passion at the at the back of of it (their enterprise to contest and win). John Candy, in one of his final roles, is in contact with as a ashamed manager who seizes the event to work with the Jamaicans as a possibility for redemption. The bobsled scenes demeanour good, and the races have been exciting. The climax, that is unconditionally unexpected, takes the movie to a unconditionally opposite level, even if events in the story do not utterly compare the facts. –Tom Keogh

The previews seem to indicate that this move is about a Jamaican bobsled team. Just seems a bit far fetched to me. THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE ICE OR SNOW IN JAMAICA!

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.

I ordered Cool Runnings for my brother as a birthday gift. When I gave it to him, he was thrilled because it’s impossible to find at the store. We went to watch the DVD as our family movie that night, and the DVD wouldn’t read. The message on the TV kept coming up “Please Insert Disk” and then “Blank Disk in Drive.” When I called Amazon to find out what I could do, they informed me that I couldn’t return the DVD because it had been opened. How else was I supposed to know if it worked or not UNLESS I opened it?
The movie itself is wonderful. The company that provided it, however, could use some work.
