"...A cute, buoyant sports fantasy, jolted along by a reggae soundtrack and playfully acted by an appealing cast..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (10/01/1993)

"...Heartwarming..."
Sight and Sound - Ben Thompson (04/01/1994)

"...Highly entertaining....The offbeat, fact-based saga is enlivened by the perfect balance of humor, emotion and insight..."

Cool runnings is an adventrue as well as a comedy. It is set in a chilly Winter Olympics - bobsleding. It has a lot of interest in personal lives and the changes this brought to each and the team. Jamaica's first Olympic bobsled team.

Fun light hearted movie for the entire family. Cool Runnings is a movie for all ages. The worst part of the movie is the acting in the first 30 minutes...it is horrible. After 30 minutes though the bad acting goes away and it gets a lot better. Overall, fun uplifting movie about the success, failure and life lessons of Jamacia's first bobsled team which went to the Calgary Olympics back in'88. Recommended!

I love this movie. It is such a silly, funny movie. John Candy was a great actor. I used to own this movie, but I lost it so I was happy to find another copy!!!
