Eddie the Eagle
I didn't know what to expect when I went to see this with my friend Michel (I don't think he did either) but it was a very pleasant surprise. Eddie the Eagle is a feelgood movie about one man's obsession: participating in the Olympics. He decides to go for one of the most dangerous sports out there: ski jumping. While Jackman is a bit over the top in the role of the arrogant yet broken American, Egerton is truly impressive as Eddie Edwards. The movie doesn't feel (too) tacky, is funny and endearing, just generally a good way to spend some time in a cinema.
