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.

The movie is based on a real story and you kind of will be able to predict many of the things happening. So it is predictable, but that does not make it less fun to watch. Even if it's just for seeing Wolverine being as cold as possible (which seems impossible, I know). But while Hugh Jackman is great, it's the main actor/character who steals the show (quite literally).There are hints of other movies in this and the overall, you just have to believe in yourself. Doesn't mean you'll be the best in the world, but it means you can achieve things that others think you're not able to. Is that a message that you can get behind? If so, the movie is for you. If not, do not watch it

Saw this movie at an advance screening and Eddie the Eagle was awesome. The movie did not disappoint at all.Great insight into the story of Eddie Edwards and the sport of ski jumping.Very dangerous sport but very beautiful to look at. The movie had a lot of heart and humor. Will look forward to this movie making its way on Blu-ray. I would gladly pay to add it to my collection. Great visuals as well. I wish the movie gets the praise it deserves as it really is better than a lot of the trash coming thru movie theaters now.
