Reviews

fcharlie 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.

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) 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.

OneEightNine Media 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.

studioAT Underdogs who have their day is a staple theme of British films, and this one about unlikely Olympic hero Eddie the Eagle is part of a long line.Sadyl this film didn't do much for me. It has its moments yes, but I couldn't stop myself from thinking that this all had been done so much better in other 'underdog' films. I think even the James Corden 'Paul Potts' film was better than this.The best thing about this film is Hugh Jackman, whose charm carries the scenes he's in. Ultimately though this film remained a bronze medal outing for me rather than a golden one.
