"Eddie the Eagle" is your typical underdog story. A less experienced, less talented athlete going up against the big dogs in competition. But unlike many films in its genre, this is a true story.
A man, who grew up wearing a leg brace for most of his childhood, is determined to beat the odds and become an Olympic athlete. Much to the likeness of the Jamaican Bobsled team, which also competed during the '88 Olympics in Calgary, he did so with little expectations but was more than happy to attend.
The story itself isn't much to write home about, as heart warming as it is. But the performances in this film, specifically by Taron Egerton, are extraordinary and bring this whole film together.
Honestly guys, I saw this on Thursday and completely forgot to write a review for it… so this one is not that informative…. It was good though. That's all you really want to hear anyway, right?
My Rating: 7/10
