I landed on the moon, drank all the beer, they kicked me off the moon, so I moved to another planet and now there's no more beer again!!

In a world of many snakes and beasts of the ego, it is good to have an eagle to protect the human spirit. Much more than a jumper, he won the gold in the heart of every viewer of this movie i bet. Great feel good movie!

This truly is a tale of persistence, determination and proving all those people who say "you can't do that", wrong.
