Some laughs but mostly just very sweet and charming. Taron Egerton is very watchable, I enjoyed seeing him in a role so different to the one he played in Kingsman. Where was Davina's supporting role/cameo though

I think I'm just disappointed with how untrue the majority of it is, I don't mind making stuff up but why name your film after a real person if most of it is fabricated Saying that, Taron Egerton is absolutely fantastic, so energetic and charismatic. An absolute delight to watch and I'm really hoping he does become the next Han Solo, he definitely has the charm. It was also really moving I'll give it that, I was welling up when the Dad revealed his knitted jumper too (but then it was annoying to read afterwards that Eddie's Dad had always been very supportive and it was just created fo make fhe story more compelling, gah!).

Thrill Me, the fab OMD song over the closing credits is mostly Taron (plus Hugh) singing engagingly. Multi-talented!
