    [Highly rated reviewer]

    this dvd is based on the story of Jamaica's hard fought battle into the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It starts when Derice Bannock, Yul Brenner and Junior Bevil, who are competing in the Olympic try outs to represent Jamaica in the Olympic games in Seoul, Korea. Junior accidentally trips himself over, causing Derice and Yul to go over with him and miss out on the Olympics. Derice and his friend Sanka Coffie persuade ex-bobsledder Irving Blitzen who is played by John Candy, to coach them and get the money they need to get to the Olympics. This is a brilliant movie that is suitable for all the family. it is well worth renting out.

    Very funny, well worth watching. A little light slapstick with some funny lines mixed in, the genuinely good humor will draw you in and before you know the full heart-string plucking story will have you rooting for our plucky heroes.

    This was a great film that had me laughing constantly throughout and crying at the end. It is a great family film and it is interesting to see how they practice bobsledding in Jamaica!
