I am biased, both because I like the actual Eddie the Eagle and because the movie stars Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman, but I think it's fair to say I would probably have loved it anyway -- it's funny and relatable and compares ski jumping to having orgasms.

Apart from lots of artistic license, the only possible complaint is that it's sports-movie predictable even if you don't know the particulars of Eddie's career...a true proponent of the philosophy that it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
