Why it’s a little special

An energetic underdog comedy with an appealing group of friends. Its best moments connect persistence with self-respect, while the snowy setting supplies plenty of fish-out-of-water jokes.

Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Mild language, insults, a bar fight and a frightening bobsled crash. Rival athletes belittle the team, and a coach's past cheating becomes part of the story.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
