Loved this film, Taron Egerton is completely believable in the role of Michael (Eddie) "The Eagle " Edwards, he brings this true story to life.
I remember watching the 1988 Olympics and routing for Eddie along with 90% of Britain.
The addition of Hugh Jackman, as a failed US jumper and Eddies coach, will hopefully make the film more appealing to American audiences than it would have if they had been more biopic like in the storytelling.
I found the film uplifting, full of heart, funny and inspiring, a true underdog story with a message for those who get knocked back by people in charge...NEVER GIVE UP .
An absolute treat.
