Cool Runnings is an excellent film, which stars the impressible John Candy, the story follows the Jamaican bobsleigh team, so they can qualify for the Winter Olympics. The film is so good, as they pursue their dream of becoming the first bobsleigh team to go to the Olympics
.
Penniless they go on a mission to try to raise as much money as they can, they come up with the idea, that members of the public can kiss them if they pay some money. And after some girls have had their turn, some old women turn ups. Then they start training, and of course they do not have sufficient training material but like always they invent things, to help them.

This film was so funny to watch, with excellent contribution from all the actors, it is a film that you should have by now seen. The soundtrack to it was equally as good. It represents the dream to go to the Olympics, and how they have to over come every obstacle thrown at them in order to achieve a long life dream. A very enjoyable film recommended to anyone.
