Dreadfully Boring

Am I Missing Something?

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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!

As i am a athlete. This was very inspirational to me. Acting was perfect from both Hugh and Taron. its about a skier who want to be a olympian. Then he decides to do skein That needed nearly 10 years of training but he does it in a year He becomes famous cuz he was the first British ski jumper

I remember Eddie the Eagle as a joke, a laughing stock, incessantly pilloried by the gutter press and sneered-at by the mainstream media alike. This film made me realise just how wrong I was.Those shots peering down from the top of the ramp at the tiny people in the distance barely hint at the terror, standing up there and knowing that when you set off, there is only one way down. They don't so much fall, as plummet.I enjoyed the humour and the music, but most of all the story ... just ... worked. I know it's dramatised, it's not a documentary. Doesn't matter. It was something unique, truly special. And the film captures the essence of Eddie's '15 minutes of fame' in a remarkably positive and upbeat way. A true Olympian.

(Flash Review)I still remember Eddie the Eagle from the 1988 Olympics. The soaring ski jumper who was notable for basically finishing last place while full of spirit and glee as he was so happy to be competing. This is the story of him and his endless drive against all odds. The film starts out rather silly as they try to illuminate Eddie as a child and his passion for competing at the Olympics. He failed over and over and over again at different events but made an effort as the only British Ski Jumper. The film is very funny, told very smartly and you just have to root for this quirky fellow. This is a true fell-good movie. Even better because I remember watching him with my Dad on TV.
