Well what can I say, this film is great, I've seen it many a time, and each time I see it the hairs on the back of my neck stand up with pride, even though i'm not jamaican. It captures the true spirit of the Olympics, and throws in a bit of comedy on the side. With memorable characters and funny 'one-liners' this is sure to be one of the best films you will watch in a long time, and will leave you talking about it for years to come! Certain viewers will not like this film, because of its "Happy Ending" as not everyone likes them, but I really enjoyed the film and I think I'll go and watch it now!

Tell us more! Who is in it etc If you have seen it so many times I'm sure you could add to this easily. Let me know via my guestbook if you do edit this in any way and I'll be happy to come back and re-read it.
