Cool Runnings


"Cool Running"s is a fictional-comedy movie based on true events.  Its based on the first Jamaican Bobsled team and their road to the Olympics.  The team consists of Derice Bannock, Sanka Coffie, Yul Brenner, and Junior Bevil; all of which are from Jamaica.  They are led by ex-gold medalist Irv.

This movie is a instant classic.  It definitely not the best movie out there but it still is a solid movie.  There are alot of laughs even though its full of cliches.  This is a feel good movie that shows support to the underdogs.  Even with its cliches it still has a powerful meaning behind it.  It shows to follow your dream no matter what, no matter what anyone says.  They were the least supported team going in.  No one thought a team from where there is no snow could compete in a winter event.  That never stopped them.

The ending of the movie showed that.  It was really gut-wrenching and you couldn't help but support them.  It showed the true meaning of them following your dream no matter what obstacles you face.  It showed you the true spirit and pride of the human race.

This movie is one for the ages.  I recommend watching it.  It really is an uplifting movie no matter how cliche and classy it is.  And it will leave you laughing no matter what.
