Includes theatrical trailer (2 min.).
Leon, Doug E. Doug, Rawle D. Lewis, Malik Yoba, Raymond J. Barry, Larry Gilman, Peter Outerbridge, Paul Coeur, John Candy.
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.
DVD, region 1; Widescreen format (1.85:1); Dolby digital stereo. surround.

Fun submitted by Zekicmom on June 17, 2013, 2:44pm This is a great movie. It's one you can watch again and again, even with your kids!

classic submitted by nwall24 on July 5, 2013, 3:11pm Loved this movie all growing up and I still love it.

Family friendly, good message submitted by SurfGrape on June 15, 2014, 11:42am Although this movie is for adults and is based on a true story, it's very family-friendly. There is not a single swear word in it and the message is positive and upbeat. Unlike most sports movies, this is not a "come from behind to be a big winner" story. The message is deeper (and more real) than that. And yet, it's also hilarious in parts and has great acting by all the cast. It's a favorite of my family and I think your family would like it too.

heartwarming submitted by airgood on August 5, 2014, 2:44pm This is a great movie! It has a lot of comedic moments and is truly inspiring. It's very touching!

Fantastic Family Film submitted by Maria Maguire on June 25, 2015, 10:53am I grew up watching this movie, and it remains one of my favorites to this day. I've played sports my whole life, and I credit this movie with teaching me what's really important in sports. (Spoilers: It's not about winning.) This movie is inspiring, heartwarming, funny, and great for the whole family. Anyone who enjoys sports or the Olympics should definitely watch this movie.
