I watched the actual Eddie the Eagle as a young teenager and appreciated Eddie's passion, if not his sporting prowess. Whilst the film is not altogether accurate (Hugh Jackman's character is fictional), it is still inspirational and a strong message for all the underdogs out there - its not winning that counts, it is the taking part and its also the courage to continue when everybody else puts you down. Uplifting film, literally.
