    • Goofs
      At the 1988 Calgary Olympics, ski jumpers have their skis "v-style" (tips spread apart) while in the air. V-style ski jumping came to competition in the 1990s. At the Calgary Olympics, ski jumpers kept their skis parallel in the air.

    9/10
    A Great Movie that left my Wife and I satisfied, inspired and smiling
    A very funny, enjoyable and inspiring movie for the whole family.

    A human interest film that are rare these days with so many movies that rely on bravado and special effects.

    Based on a true story, which proves if you have dreams from a young age that persist you should follow them no matter what the odds are against them and ignore all the doubters that tell you you cannot achieve them.

    The human spirit and believing in one's self are very powerful forces.

    Eddie is a character that you cannot dislike.

    Hugh Jackman's character helps Eddie achieve his dream since Eddie would not be deterred.

    Eddie unknowingly helps Hugh Jackman's character out of his funk and he is re-born again.

    We highly recommend this film.
