This film is good family film which stars John Candy as the coach of the first Jamaican bobsleigh team an how they trained in Jamaica for the Winter Olympics. I enjoyed watching the film with my child. He couldnt stop laughing and understood the story very easily. It was great for sitting having a family night with the kids and feet up enjoying the film. The story was a bit predictable but I was still able to go along with it and enjoy it. Had a few laughs myself. Found the acting to be very good and cant say anything bad about any of the characters. I thought that John Candy was great in his role. Loved the ending and I would have liked to have seen a sequel to this movie. Would recommend this movie to people who have kids aged 5 years and over. I dont think children under 5 years of age would enjoy this film due to the story and dont think they would understand the jokes.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" in the top right of the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
