Cool Runnings Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረJanuary 31, 2025Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! Cool Runnings!
- DANNYZUKO78February 22, 2026IT'S VERY FUNNY AND I DID'T KNOW JOHN CANDY IS IN THIS MOVIE. I DID'T WATCH BUT I HOPE EVERYBODY IN ENJOY THE 2026 WINTER OLYMPICS.
- DdoughnutJanuary 10, 2026"I've got a dead grandmother who's faster than you." 💀
- Eithan HopkinsFebruary 14, 2026You want to kiss my lucky egg?🥚 Brilliant movie this is!
- TomVaderJune 20, 2025An inspirational and humorous, but fictional, retelling of the Jamaican's first run at Olympic Bobsledding. I really enjoy this movie every time I watch it. The premise is ridiculous, the antagonists are over-the-top, and everyone is a caricature, but the acting is great, and the result is charming, humorous, and motivating. It's technically a sports movie, but it's fun for anyone - even if you've never been to Jamaica or know what a bobsled is. Yo Sanka, you dead mon?
- kdawgncJune 5, 2025Good family movie.
- exceptionalishDecember 25, 2025Might be nostalgia, but this film is perfect.
- ClowniEDecember 18, 2025It's just classic old school Disney gold. Timeless
- TaimeeNovember 16, 202510 year old review: It was inspiring, but also kinda weird. Guys were silly, you should give it a try.
- leeartleeNovember 16, 2025I don’t know what it is but there’s something special about this movie. I know I’m biased as I was a kid when this came out but it still holds up. And the underlining message is a great one: it doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you hard you try.
- owenmcdiarmidNovember 9, 2025It was a good movie to just watch it didn’t really make me think too much and it had a simple enough true story plot but the vibes for this movie are great and the characters are pretty good overall it was a good watch.
- mickerdooOctober 22, 2025An absolute treasure. An underdog sports story with a sprinkle of 90s Disney magic. Candy is inspirational. And each lead is unique and fun.
- Cameron KempsterOctober 12, 2025"Your bones will not break in a bobsed. No no. They shatter" 🤣
- tellumAugust 19, 2025A wacky sports comedy based on a real event. A fun family movie to learn about one of the more strange occurrences in the olympics.
