Summary: Cool Runnings
Comment: I have been hearing about this movie for a very long time and never got the chance to see it. It was hilarious. I love it. Typical Jamaicans anything considered a challenge is worth trying (at least once). The sky is the limit. Sanka never experience cold weather before except when he was put in the Ice cream truck had to put all the clothes he took with him to ward off the cold. I almost die laughing. Great Movie and no profanity

Summary: Seeking Gold Medals in the Game of Life
Comment: Loosely based on the long-shot Jamaican Bobsled Team that debuted in the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, this comedy delivers a storm of laughs, but also has an inspirational message.
John Candy portrays a disgraced former bobsled competitor who finds redemption as the initially reluctant coach of the four-member squad. From team members who suffered great disappointment in other athletic endeavors to the doors nearly shut in their faces due to being outsiders in the world-class chess match of sports politics, this is a feel-good story on reaching for dreams and achieving victory in ways that cannot be measured simply by a stop watch.
The message is universal and one that should be revisited by young people and adults on what gold medal performances actually mean in the game of life.

Based on a true story, this is the comedic saga of four Jamaican athletes going to extremes to compete as bobsled racers at the Winter Olympics. With few resources and virtually no clue about winter sports, it's an uphill course for this troupe from the tropics who are sliding on thin ice as they go for the gold in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything stand in their way, these four Jamaicans enlist the help of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider named Irv. Unavoidably drawn back to a sport he had come to loathe, Irv is faced with coaching a team of complete novices. But once committed, he is determined to turn them around and to somehow right the wrongs of his own failed career. It's a bumpy ride but with pride, determination, and dignity, the bobsledders make their impossible dreams come true.
