First, Taron Egerton deserves an award for the three facial expressions of the real Eddy. The smile, happy. The upside down smile, it hasn't beaten me yet. And the I have to try harder, I am serious, every-man look.It's bad enough, when you aren't good enough, but, when everyone tells you the unvarnished truth, you could get a little down. Or, you could set out to meet and beat every obstacle in you path. Then take a look back and smile. Face forward and say with conviction, "I am the squad."This movie is a family show, start to finish. Age 10 to 18 would go for this movie. So, if know a normal kid, they would get a few laughs, for sure. There might be a few swear words, but so few I don't remember them. Nobody dies. There is no shooting, nor car crashes. This movie reflects most peoples day to day lives, at least those of us that don't do the Olympics.If there were ever a parody of this film, not that it needs one, it would have to be by The Trailer Park Boys. Yeah, Bubbles.

Okay so it's cheesy, but it's so much fun! Both Egerton and Jackman look like they're having a blast and the simple fact that you can't help but root for Eddie in every scene is testament to this films success. This isn't a biopic, but there's enough truth here to show the fella for the hero he is, a real inspiration, Edwards should be remembered as such. Not sure this is the traditional summary that most Olympians would want, but Eddie isn't most Olympians. He was a bit daft, just like this film, but blimey if it doesn't make you smile, massive euphoric fist pumping smiles!!

They don't get any better than this! This docu-film was as close to perfect as they come. Taron Egerton nailed his character as did Hugh Jackman and for that matter, the entire cast. The whole production - from directing, cinematography, writing, editing and even the score were all on point. A fun, inspirational, heartwarming and entertaining film for all ages, and a great tribute to Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. A well deserved 9/10 from me.

I didn't think, nor did I expect that this movie would be an 8/10. I could feel the adrenaline, anxiety and absolute awe, streamlining throughout my entire body as Eddie made his ascendance to the 90M mark. Misty-eyed as Eddie made his number one supporter, his favorite cheerleader and the first lady of his life prouder than words could contain, and proving his father right, not wrong, because he always believed in his son, behind the fear and macho persona, Eddie's father, hoped for the best, for his son."I'm not deluded. I know there are plenty of other athletes more deserving in publicity than me.I would like to apologize if my silly antics have cast a shadow over their achievements". Such a moment of growth, maturity and understanding makes you vouch for him more.Eddie and Peary's disagreement was equally understandable. Eddie showed Peary what his worth was, and Peary wanted the chance to show it back to Eddie, but, at the same time, Eddie has spent his entire life for this moment. His goal was never to win, his goal was to achieve, and he did.This movie is not about being the winner, it's about winning. Not about the triumph, but the struggle. Not about success, but rather, not quitting.I don't know about Eddie as a person himself, but, this movie painted his story in the most uplifting of ways. Taron Egerton was more than sufficient for this role, and though there were points I felt he could've really done better, there were also quite a few other moments where, he just did it right, with some excellent help from Dexter Fletcher and Matthew Margeson.A story of determination, belief, hope, support and introspection, Eddie the Eagle took the "y" out of Sky and replaced it with himself, "i", so he could fly ski high.
