本片根据真人真事改编，讲述了英国历史上最著名的跳台滑雪运动员，有着“飞鹰艾迪”之称的艾迪·爱德华兹（Eddie Edwards）的励志故事。体育题材的电影一直备受观众喜爱，每年都有佳作上映，而这部电影却把常见的鸡汤片拍出了清新脱俗的效果，实在是又暖又萌，笑点与泪点兼具，非常值得观看。里面雪山景色辽阔壮美，背景音乐也是恰到好处，尤其是结尾处的配乐为影片大大加分，着实励志感人。

在如今这个超级英雄横行大银幕的年代，本片不遗余力地歌颂了平凡小人物的精神力量，哪怕最后得了倒数第一，他也因其百折不挠的坚持而打动人心。正如奥林匹克之父顾拜旦所说的那样—奥运会重要的不是胜利，而是参与；生活的本质不是索取，而是奋斗。只要坚持梦想，执着进取，无论结局如何，我们都是人生的大赢家！
