Review of Eddie the Eagle (2016) by Ilsa W — 08 Jan 2017
Loved it. Heart warning, emotional, funny and inspiring. I'm old enough to remember watching Eddie jump and I was dubious about the gorgeous Taron Egerton playing Eddie but he was totally believable and really portrayed Eddie's hugely likeable personality perfectly.
Hugh Jackman adds the star quality but his chemistry with Egerton really makes the film. Dexter Fletcher said he wanted to turn Eddie from an object of humour into a truly inspirational character and he does.
You come away from this film with a new found respect for Eddie.
