Based on a true story, this is the comedic saga of four Jamaican athletes going to extremes to compete as bobsled racers at the Winter Olympics. With few resources and virtually no clue about winter sports, it's an uphill course for this troupe from the tropics who are sliding on thin ice as they go for the gold in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything stand in their way, these four Jamaicans enlist the help of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider named Irv. Unavoidably drawn back to a sport he had come to loathe, Irv is faced with coaching a team of complete novices. But once committed, he is determined to turn them around and to somehow right the wrongs of his own failed career. It's a bumpy ride but with pride, determination, and dignity, the bobsledders make their impossible dreams come true.

This is one of my favourite "go to" movies. You know, when you just feel like watching a film with the ultimate purpose of cheering you up. It's funny, easy to watch and is well acted. John Candy is his usual funny man best. Brilliant non offensive funny family film.

The best family comedy of all time and a really inspirational story that proves that anyone can do anything no matter where you come from. Including a Jamaican bobsleigh team

Watched this when I was a little kid an here an there still do I would recommend any 1 who loves a great classic this is a must watch! 👌
