Pros: funny, emotional
Cons: there are none!
Cool Runnings is sure to make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Written and told well, this comedy is one of my favorites. One of John Candy's last, he delivers another heart warming performance, not only funny but emotional too.
Cool...

Pros: Good story, Interesting plot
Cons: Forgettable
Unfortunately I have to say this movie isn't one of my favorites. It's a heartwarming story, but to me it's rather forgettable. It's not a movie that I really want to see too often. Plot This is based on a true story of the first Jamaican ...

Pros: Triumphant story plus non-stop laughs.
Cons: Maybe slightly predictable at a few parts.
I remember when this movie first came out in theatres. I was a big fan of John Candy, and Doug E. Doug had just got a television show. Naturally, I knew this would be a funny movie, and I was not let down. Above all, this movie had an inspiring story...

Pros: John Candy, Doug E. Doug, et al
Cons: none
This is a movie you definitely want to watch on video or, if you are lucky enough, watch on one of the movie channels. Don't bother with the broadcast or airline version. There's too much good material to miss.
I don't know why Epinions...

Pros: Positive message, Humor, Interesting plot
Cons: none
It's such an entertaining story that it's hard to believe that it actually happened. John Candy is great in it as "The Coach" whose past mistakes are exposed and begin to hurt the chances for his team. Throughout the team's struggle to become...

Pros: Great story, I liked the acting, the Jamaicans have a cool accent
Cons: Maybe a little bit on the unrealistic side
I am usually bored to death with most Disney movies, but this one I liked. It is about four Jamaicans- three of whom lost their chance to go to the Olympics as track and field athletes because of a spill that took down more than just the one who fell....

Pros: Hilarious, Great lesson
Cons: little short
This is one of my all time favorites. I wouldn't have expected to like a movie about 4 Jamaicans and a a former Olympian to be very exciting or even worth seeing. However, I was completely wrong. This movie was completely hilarious. Doug E. Doug was...

Pros: Really Good Story, Excellent Family Movie
Cons: None
I first heard about this story when it actually happened. Now many years later I have had an opportunity to watch the video and it is equally enjoyable. But why is it enjoyable?
1. The story, first of all. It shows anyone who watches this...

Pros: inspirational
Cons: you judge after watching..i did not find any
This is a hilarious comedy about the journey of four young jamaicans who dared to enter the Olympic Bobsleigh Competition, a sport not only felt to be exclusive to those of cooler climates but also to those of the white race.
We are entralled...

Pros: The true ideas of standing up.
Cons: The rudeness of people.
Cool Runnings is the coolest! It is a true story and I enjoyed it very much. It talks about four mouthy, funny Jamaican guys who wanted so bad to go to the Olympics. They found a man who once wanted to make a bobsledder out of a man who ran in the...
