From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never-say-die attitude.Directed By: Dexter Fletcher

Note from Susan:
As a parent, this movie makes me think about my role in encouraging my children to pursue their dreams. My two greatest dreams in life were to become a mother and an author, and I've accomplished both by ignoring those who said my dreams were silly, especially when it came to writing. Therefore, I have always encouraged my boys to go after what they love. If they have a passion for what they do, they will be successful! I hope that all parents will hear that message and pass it on to their children after watching this movie.
Enjoy these scenes from the film!
