    the pointy head of the preppy/rich kid always threw me off. As did the laughable notion that John Candy was once slim enough to slide into a bobsled.

    It stars Leon. What movie wouldn't succeed with a star who goes by one name? Discount all movies Cher and Madonna appeared in b4 answering.

    It's over-the-top cheesyness. The slow clap. The evil Swiss guys. The father with the boblsed shirt.

    It's just... I need a moment.

    Where does this plot rank among least plausible in sports movie history? Near the top, or right at the top?
