Eddie the Eagle is Why I Love IRL Stories
The reason I love films like the one I saw this afternoon, Eddie the Eagle, is that remind us to try and celebrate personal bests. Participating and loving what we do allows us to achieve more than we dreamt possible. You can't become better unless you do and fail, get up and do it again.
Eddie dreamed of medaling at the Olympics and his mother encouraged him at every opportunity. His father was like most, and only wanted to see his son settle into 'real life' with a job and maybe a family. It is his belief in this dream that pushes him to fight the British Olympic committee for a place on the team. They pushed out the finish line never expecting that he was devoted enough to meet their demands.
Despite some foul language, the film is a good choice for your family. Might not hold the attention of some youngsters, but the message will be worth it in the end.
