Saw this Saturday Night.....and we loved it!
I'm not a huge John Candy fan but he was not his usual obnoxious self
here. I enjoyed the other lead character (sorry forgot his name) and
really believed he was an Olympic runner.
We laughed through most of the movie and some of them were bust-a-gut
laughs too.
Its the story of 3 track runners, sprinters, and a friend who try out
for the 1988 winter Olympics Bobsled competition. I'm not really
giving any of the story away since it is based on a true story.
Definitly worth 1st run movie prices.

Hmm... I had feared that this movie would not live up to its
potential. Maybe I can do the bargain matinee...

Saw it over the weekend... I wouldn't call it a 'must see' but it did seem to be pretty good. Nice, light entertainment. Lee | |||||

Definitly go for the matinee price Greg!
And like most comedies it could translate well onto vdeo but the
background scenery of both Jamacia and Canada are fabulous - especailly
when they showed the Olympic village all lit up at night.....

| 343.5 | Well, I liked it :) | MAIL2::FENNELL | Mon Mar 13 1995 17:36 | 2 | |
Watched it on tape the other night with my SO. He loves reggae, so
that did it for him, and I thought the ending was very touching.
