I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

I didn't have expectations when I watched this thinking about watching about Eddie the Eagle in the olympics but this is a fantastic film giving you the insight to the struggle Eddie had against the establishment shunned , humiliated and betrayed, but his determination paid off and he became the hero of the people! Watch and enjoy!

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.

As a movie, it was so thrilling and engaging. I loved it... Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite actors in Hollywood and he didn't disappoint me in this flick also. Taron Eagorton gave us a promising performance as Eddie the Eagle. The 1:45 hrs was worthy and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My small advice to those who haven't seen this movie is, "don't check more on Eddie in internet or elsewhere...just watch the movie and forget this was a biopic..." and that will definitely help.
