- Excerpt: “Eddie the Eagle” wants you to believe that it’s an off-kilter, edgy comedic biopic based on the exploits of Michael “Eddie the Eagle” Edwards, who competed as a ski jumper for England in the 1988 Olympics. As to the biopic part, forget it. This should probably be regarded as pretty much a work of fiction, but that’s okay. “Rocky” was fictional, too.
