Cool Runnings (1993)

Rate: 9
Viewed: 2/14

2/14: Cool Runnings is a funny picture, thanks to the quartet of Jamaican characters.

Although John Candy is featured, he provides nearly none of the comedy that I expect from him. Rather, he's relegated to a secondary role to keep things moving at a brisk pace.

Cool Runnings may be based on a true story, but most of it is completely fabricated which makes things a bit weird. However, from a cinematic perspective, it's exceptional, and the bobsledding scenes are the most dramatic. For a Disney picture, it unfortunately has a couple of unnecessary profane words.

All in all, Cool Runnings makes for a fast, enjoyable viewing.
