This is a must see film for anyone.Packed with witty one liners and comical happenings. If your going to watch one film for the rest of your life,make this film the one.
Based on a true story, four Jamaicans, three of which attempted to get into the Olympics but failed decided to start Jamaicas first bob-sleigh team. They found out that a previous Olympic winner lived on the island and sought him out to train them up. At first he was very reluctant but eventually came round to their way of thinking and helped them with everything from training them up to getting them to the Olympics.
Watch as the team come through a vast array of troubles that would put even the most dedicated sports man off and come out the other side, not as winners, but as heroes.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. 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" above 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.
