Given the awful films that John candy made right before his death(Example...Canadian Bacon,Wagons East),It is Great to see that a film like this one stands out as not only a wonderful,funny film...But also as a Showcase for John Candys Great acting abilities which Unfortunately the late actor never had the Chance to show in most of his other films.
He gives a wonderful performance as the Disgraced coach of the Jamaican bobsledders...A role which required acting,Not comic shtick..and Candy proved himself up to the challenge.The film makers deserve praise for Giving Candy that opportunity before his Death...One that few others did.
The film itself is quite funny....the 4 actors playing the Bobsledders are very funny....(Doug e doug's busking scene was Hilarious)..and the film has sad moments...and some Great action scenes.
Words simply dont some up this fabulous film which is a triumph for director john turtletaub...(Whose subsequent films have been pretty low grade),its a special film that will always remain in my heart..and one I will always think about.
The film makers should take a bow...for giving us this Brilliant film..and giving the late John candy the chance to show his true acting ability...a chance he rarely had.
I give it 10 out of 10...and as doreece says....Peace be the journey
