Cool Runnings always fascinated me because In the true story the opposite happened. The other countries were incredibly supportive of the Jamaican team and some even offered them their good sleds so they would have a better chance of qualifying.
I thought Cool Runnings was great fun and there isn’t much reason to overthink the movie. Sure, I noticed a few of the unnecessary stereotypes in the movies but immediately dismissed them.
It’s sad that Siskel and Ebert can see the inspiration in much worse movies, but not in cool Runnings. This is a great film, based on a true story. They really blew this review and I doubt they even watched this movie. I also doubt they ever played any sports
A bit too hard on "Malice". It's not a masterpiece, but for mystery fans like myself, its enjoyable and its not as confusing as they stated, also there is a reason why the serial killer plot is included. Albeit a small reason but a reason nonetheless. I loved watching these guys most of my life. They however are infected by a condition most critics of entertainment have...They hardly take any film they watch at face value...If they don't see the kind of true depth that usually is reserved for serious dramas of the human condition, in a genre film that's just aiming for you to come along for the ride...they dismiss it as bad. In other words, They'll love Saving Private Ryan, but they'll dismiss Bachelor Party because it doesn't have the " emotional depth" of Ryan...ehh what can you do!..lol....A scorpion can't help being a scorpion...lol
