Leave your thoughts about Cool Runnings.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA wholesome, engaging, frequently hilarious, ultimately inspirational film. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonA wholesome, engaging, frequently hilarious, ultimately inspirational film. |
| The A.V. ClubDavid AnthonyThough it certainly has faults, which only the extremely nostalgic could ignore, the film bests its contemporaries through its ability to unite childlike comedy and adult concerns without ever obscuring one with the other. |
| BBC.comAlmar HaflidasonThe considerable warmth, humour and persistence of the cast soon have you rooting for these underdogs. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonWhile far from the best of Ritchie's portrayals of winning and losing (Downhill Racer, The Bad News Bears), Cool Runnings goes uphill, rather than down, and moves from bad news to good. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe problem with a story like this is that it's almost too perfect. It tends to break out of the boundaries of the typical sports movie, and undermine those easy cliches that are so reassuring to sports fans. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyDirector Jon Turteltaub has a fresh, uncluttered approach to the story that allows its natural warmth and humor to dominate. The classic underdog script provides a positive minority perspective without the usual downside, self-conscious righteousness. |
| The TelegraphMarc LeeCool Runnings is a charming tale of determined underdogs, with plenty of laughs, moments of real tension, and five engaging performances. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonThe problem with a story like this is that it's almost too perfect. It tends to break out of the boundaries of the typical sports movie, and undermine those easy cliches that are so reassuring to sports fans. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinA cute, buoyant sports fantasy, jolted along by a reggae soundtrack and playfully acted by an appealing cast. This new Disney comedy is slick, funny and warmhearted, very much in the old-fashioned Disney mode. |
