      Jude M During this movie I laughed so much. Although the movie isn't completely accurate to the Olympics, it's a very fun movie worth watching.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Madie R Only John Candy can take 4 Olympic-quality Jamaican sprinters and turn them into Olympic bobsledders.

      Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times [A] sweet-natured, high-spirited comedy, that rare movie that plays effectively to all ages. Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Angie Errigo Empire Magazine Cheesy? Certainly. But strong performaces and a heart-warming storyline make this a winner. Rated: 3/5 Mar 16, 2020 Full Review David Anthony AV Club Though it certainly has faults, which only the extremely nostalgic could ignore, the film bests its contemporaries through its ability to unite childlike comedy and adult concerns without ever obscuring one with the other. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine A brightly optimistic and warmly funny comedy, with solid performances and a no-nonsense visual approach that emphasises story over spectacle. Rated: 7/10 Apr 28, 2020 Full Review People Staff People Magazine ... mildly amusing but overly calculated comedy... Mar 17, 2020 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Admittedly, it's a little predictable and patronising at times, but the eager performances of John Candy and his charges carry the day. Rated: 4/5 Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
