Ratings and reviews

I loved this movie because I thought it was very inspirational and moving how he never gave up even when he got seriously injured. I would recommend this to any body who wants to be an olympian or just wants to have a laugh. I gave this five star because I think that it's a really good way to follow your dreams. Also I want to be an olympian so it really gave me that extra push I needed. Also I liked how a friend helped him learn and made it happen. so overall I loved it, and if you watch it i hope you love it too. By Louis Potts

Watched this movie with my sons ( 9 yrs & 7yrs) its absolutely brilliant. Great movie explaining about never giving up and chasing your dreams . There is some reference about alcohol abuse , but that was quickly explained to them ( and forgotten). We searched Youtube for the original video's of the 90 meter jump after the movie .. equally great . ;o} . Very enjoyable movie .

Loved it. Everyone in Britain my age knows of Eddie the Eagle Edwards and remembers his Olympic debut, I hope this film helps people remember him as a real mans hero, which he truly was, much like Cool Runnings in the ' I know its never gonna end in glory' stakes, but a great story non the less
