It looks like EDDIE THE EAGLE was part of a list of films that were shown at a marathon film festival. BNAT, stands for BUTT-NUMB-A-THON, and was organized by Harry Knowles of AICN ( Ain't It Cool News) sometime ago, as this is the 17th edition. Presumably the following comments were from filmsites and other attendees --

EDDIE THE EAGLE - adorable underbird sports movie, a film about tenacity and finding glory when competing trumps victory #BNAT

EDDIE THE EAGLE is a rousing inspirational true story with a great twist: it's about a guy who is not very good at his sport. #bnat17

'Eddie The Eagle' is really fantastic. This generation's Cool Runnings... but with ski jumping. Perfect tone. Fell in love with it. #BNAT17

4th film of #BNAT17 was Eddie the Eagle, set for release in April. Funny and heartwarming. Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman are great.

Eddie movie isn’t out for a few months, but it seems to be a finished product. Hugh Jackman was fantastic, too. #BNAT17

@nordlingaicn @taronegerton @realhughjackman loved loved loved it. And it was great hearing Taron laughing just as hard as us..
Taron was at the screening and was shown in a photo with AICN headgeek Harry Knowles during a Q&A.

I attended this event. One of the tweets is mine. And yes, Jackman fakes an orgasm again. (See also SWORDFISH. )
This movie got huge cheers from the audience, more than any of the other 10 (mostly genre and vintage) films shown.
I also remember vividly Eddie competing at Calgary. The movie captured what I remember about it, tho the film's backstory is mostly fictional.
Sorry if I'm not being clear. BNAT ran over 24 hours and I haven't had much sleep yet!

Thanks for joining us, Tish
...and for validating what seems to be the reaction of most of the attendees of the BNAT film screening.
Er... that Swordfish scene again - LOL!
