A Disney tale, about the Jamaican bobsled team, which had
to train for a Winter Olympic event, without ever having seen snow. With John Candy.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A country bar brawl takes place between two teams, but
there's no serious injury. A newsreel film is shown depicting a bobsled crash where the
team members are killed. A bolt comes loose on the Jamaican team's bobsled, causing it to
careen on its side with the bobsledders helmets scraping along the ice, but they end up
okay.
PROFANITY 2 - There is a smattering of scatological language. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Cheating, gambling, discrimination, vindictiveness,
competition.
MESSAGE - Be who you are, instead of trying to copy someone else's style. Be
proud of your heritage.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
