Jamaïque, 1987. Eliminé pour sa participation au 100 m des Jeux de Séoul, Derice Bannock se jure de représenter son pays à une compétition olympique. Il prend contact avec Irving Blitzer, qui accepte de lui inculquer le sport qu'il pratiquait naguère : le bobsleigh Derice et ses 3 coéquipiers n'ont que 6 mois pour se préparer pour Calgary...

A solid laid-back family film loosely based on true events. It’s is kept afloat mainly by John Candy and Zimmer's music.

"'Nuff people say, you know they can't believe, Jamaica, we have a bobsled team." Cool Runnings is an incredibly easygoing film that entertains and enlightens even on repeat viewings. The comedic element was mainly provided by the (as always funny and natural) John Candy and Doug E. Doug with his "Rastafarian stuff". Along with the comedy and sporting line, there are a few more serious moments that have a bit of kitsch in them, but still always get me, especially in the case of the final race. An enjoyable and heartfelt film about how it's not important to win, but to participate and go proudly after your dream regardless of the reactions of others.

I thought that after all these years, and also after reaching thirty years of age, this movie wouldn't appeal to me as much as when I was a child, but I found that some movies just don't age, even as the viewer ages. I was still having fun and I was still touched. This movie just keeps going and does it well.
