or Cool Runnings come to that, that is a total travesty and frankly a disgrace that TLO should be thoroughly ashamed about.

Watch it and then slag it off. It is a great crafted film with a wonderful story, great cinematography and a great turn by Peter O Toole, a real good old fashioned smashing film that they don't make any more, funny, sad, heart warming, great music. I rate it very highly indeed and I am not ashamed to say so.

Not at all. It's a truly appalling film. I find it difficult to express how nauseating it is, so I am going to quote from the Time Out Film Guide, as they sum it up for me perfectly.

Perhaps the only thing less likely than a Jamaican bobsled team is a Hollywood film inspired by a true story of the crew that competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Not that this stick closely to the facts: instead, it's another Rocky-style sports movie about the underdogs who achieve public recognition and self-respect. Travelogue shots of happy Jamaicans dancing in the sun give way to patronising comedy as slobbish ex-coach John Candy is cajoled in teaching four novices. The missing ingredients are snow and ice, but there's plenty of this when the scene shifts to Canada. In his prime, co-writer Michael Ritchie might have turned this into a caustic Downhill Racer or Bad News Bears-style critique of professional sporting values. Director Turteltaub, on ther other hand, patronises both characters and audience with daft knockabout humour, tear-jerking sentiment and racial stereoptyping which skates on very thin ice.

Quite.

However, seeing as you have an extremely high tolerance threshold when it comes to quality, Glover, I am not surprised you like it.
