Movie Review: EDDIE THE EAGLE (2016) A

This is movie that starts very slowly . . . in fact I almost gave up on it in the first 10 minutes.   But by holding on I was rewarded by an entertaining and worthwhile fun film.

From Rotten Tomatoes:
Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael "Eddie" Edwards, an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself . . . even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
