Boxing Gloves for Kids Blue 4oz
Based on a true story, this is the comedic saga of four Jamaican athletes going to extremes to compete as bobsled racers at the Winter Olympics. With few resources and virtually no clue about winter sports, it’s an uphill course for this troupe from the tropics who are sliding on thin ice as they go for the gold in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything stand in their way, these four Jamaicans enlist the help of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider named Irv. Unavoidably drawn back to a sport he had come to loathe, Irv is faced with coaching a team of complete novices. But once committed, he is determined to turn them around and to somehow right the wrongs of his own failed career. It’s a bumpy ride but with pride, determination, and dignity, the bobsledders make their impossible dreams come true.

Customer Review: A Crunchy Parental Review of
This is the story of the Jamaican bobsled team that made it to the Olympics. It is based on a true story.
Unfortunately, true or not, there are scenes you just don’t want children to see, and we were prettty shocked that it was rated only PG.
We could maybe have lived with one character calling another “*ssh*le”, but there is an extended scene in a bar, involving a bar fight, during which the drinking, name-calling and fighting in that scene bracket another scene in the mens room of the bar, where one of the characters looks into a mirror and says, over and over, ” I’m a bad-*ss mother who don’t take no cr*p off of nobody!”
If these don’t bother you - or if your child is of an age where you feel it’s ok for them to see these scenes - then “Cool Runnings” is an otherwise ok movie. But these scenes were of a magnitude that for us this movie was definitely not ok.
