I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
"Cool Runnings" is a perfectly enjoyable movie from the Mouse, until that ending; which hits me squarely in the chest. But I'll get to that in a second.This is sports movie bursting with pluck; you couldn't ask for more of an underdog than Jamaica for a bobsled team. Trivia has it that the studio was looking for high-priced talent to headline this movie (Eddie Murphy, Denzel), but lesser-knowns was absolutely the way to go. the team's got chemistry and they personify the unyielding optimism this story needs. And John Candy brings his A-game in a dramatic role and really gives the movie ballast. There's honestly no better word for this than likable. SPOILERSNow to address the big finale. Back when this came out, I'd sat through, say, three-quarters of it on two occasions (I can't remember what prevented me from finishing the tape, but it wasn't for lack of interest). So, for years, it lingered in my brain as a spirited Disney sports movie. and when I finally got around to finishing it . . . *THAT*'s how it ends? It's just an overwhelming mixture of painful and heroic and that's what stays in my mind as an adult. This belongs right up there with "Miracle". It's a great movie.8/10
This is one of the greatest family movies with moral messages and a great feel good vibe. There is enough comedy for both kids and adults to chuckle at, but I wish there was more to wail about. John Candy is at his usual best in this film giving a good acting role and playing his typical cynical comedian self. But that aside, you won't find another movie that is quite like Cool Runnings. Everything from the storyline to the comedy and to it being based on a true story, no other movie I've seen is anything like Cool Runnings. A great family gem that is not just for the family. Perfect from start to finish, but I wish there was just that little bit more for me to want to re watch it countless amounts of time.
The screenplay is intelligent, focused and clever. I much enjoyed this film, mostly because of the convincing characters. I am aware of much of the criticism around this movie, claiming it is bad and not worth seeing. To all those who have said these things, I have to ask: What film were you watching? With style, charm, and humor to spare, this film was among the top echelon of movies from 1993. I laughed and was moved and all of that good stuff. At the end of the day, it's a fun, entertaining film. Wonderful movie, and I should know, I practically grew up on it. An excellent and difficult production, bolstered by great performances.
