If ever there was a feel-good movie, this is it! Based on a true story, this film is suspenseful, dramatic and hilarious all in one, resulting in an insanely entertaining feature. Taron Egerton is brilliant as hero Eddie Edwards. He conveys emotion so well that you feel every feeling, every failure and every triumph. He is perfect as the nerd, likable hero and champion. Hugh Jackman is perfectly cast as a has-been champion who unwillingly becomes Eddie's coach. His 'Bo Derek' scene is fabulously hilarious and brilliantly acted.

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.

This movie tells a story, never give in, don't listen to those doubt you. Based on the true story of Eddie the Eagle a seemingly ordinary person who had a dream and would not listen to those that wanted to doubt him. It is a truly inspirational tale and is well made with some truly great acting performances. I highly recommend this movie and defy anyone not to shed a tear at the emotional ending.As is said during the film in life as in the olympics its not necessarily about being the winner but being willing to take a chance to achieve your dreams in life.

Wow. Just wow. I can not believe that a movie about ski jumping could be that entertaining. Hugh Jackman is pretty much a fun loving Wolverine in this and he is having all kinds of fun. Before becoming an actor Hugh Jackman was a gym teacher, maybe that's why he is more animated than usual. Anyway, the guy from Kingsman's Secret Service is in this, Taron Egerton and he does an outstanding job. Pretty much proving himself not to be a one hit wonder. Anyway, the film is based of the true story of an underdog who has to work for it and his coach who a natural talent who didn't work for it and burned out early. This isn't just a feel good film, it has tons of layers and laughs. This film is one of those rare film you walk away a different person after watching it. I almost feel like watching it again and I literally just watched it last night, it is that good.
