Cheerful comedy about how hot and sunny Jamaica came to enter a bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics.

Best Comedy Film I have watched!

4 stars

26 Jan 2019

Great Comedy film and the way they really didn't give up at the end was insparational if you want to be an olympian that film will inspire you to be the best and never give up. This is the greatest comedy film that I have watched. It's amazing how this is based on a true story because the Titanic film was based on a true event and they change 55% of the true story and 45% of it was true. Unlike this film they only changed a few things like at the end where they used all their strength to at least get passed the finishing line.The movie made me feel a bit sad for me because one of the people had to sell his car for them to get to the olympics and they lost but they didn't give up.Inside my head I was cheering for them at the end. I was a bit baffled because in most other films main character/characters win but in this film they lost.I guess at least getting there was a success and actually competing in the olympic games. Who knew that four jamaican runners could make it to the olympics and nearlly win when they're not even running!They are bobsleighing.
