Roger Ebert

It’s not a bad movie. In fact, it’s surprisingly entertaining, with a nice sweetness in place of the manic determination of the average sports picture.

Peterson Reviews

The Disney-sanctioned account of how Jamaica’s first bobsleighing team came together packs few surprises, but you mostly don’t mind.

My Live Action Disney Project

Honestly, it wasn’t a bad film, but I had two major issues with it. My first issue is that all the obstacles or conflicts in the film were overcome extremely quickly... My second issue with the film is that all the Jamaican accents sound fake!

This is like, the definition of feel good movie. You know, I used to avoid clamshell movies cause they take up more space but fuck it... I'm going to remove that desk I never use anyway, put in more bookshelves and clamshell it up.

IMDb

We are given a reason to care about the characters, unrelated to nationality; and we are given a story that's worth following, even if we would never follow the sport itself. ... It's a sweet film, and I doubt there's more than a handful of people who could resist its charm.
