They're trying to aim the success of what Kingsman had earlier this year.

Not going to lie, I saw the title for the film and assumed it would be a film about a guy who plays a mascot named Eddie The Eagle. 

Watch the trailer and I am a sucker for uplifting sports films. I will probably watch this.

[BK007]

Really digging the trailer. 

 

Maybe I'm a sucker for a certain style of British movie, but contrast this to the putrid trailer for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, and well, you can see why.

 

The typical American comedy is predictably imperialist, myopic, insensitive and awful. 

[Blankments]

Got the trailer at Joy

 

Looks intriguing; much more interesting than typical sports drama

[DAJK]

I REALLY want to see this.

Saw a screening of "Eddie The Eagle" tonight. It was enjoyable, but not as good as the last "based on a true story" feel good movie I saw (The 33).

 

Eggsy did a great job as Eddie and Hugh gets another chance to play the Wolverine in this.

 

I didn't like the 80's score. It got a bit annoying after awhile.

 

7.5 out of 10

I hope this is good. Feel-good sports movies are my weakness lol.

Did it show him as a fairly accomplished skier (barely missed making the 84 Olympics for UK in the downhill) or just some lovable schlep who decided to take up ski jumping?

Spoiler

I guess it would be latter.

I'm into this. Rooting for Taron Egerton.
