GREAT!!!

As a European living in America I don't understand why people are surprised that the US made a movie about Eurovision. The US makes movies primarily for an american audience. Of course they'll make this. They have the money, the skills, and the experience to pull this off and THEY SURE DID!! This movie had it all. The songs were actually SO GOOD! The singing was amazing. The story was obviously nothing original. But it's like eating your favorite ice cream. You've had it a million times and it still tastes great!

And to all the 1 star reviewers - you must seek help immediately because you clearly need a reality check. Do you check into an Economy Inn and expect the Ritz Carlton too?? What is wrong with you?! The movie is entertaining, quite funny, very light, and just overall fun. If you expected some life changing, never-seen-before comedy, then you are crazy.

Can't believe I had tears in my eyes!

This is way way better than I expected. It's fun and entertaining. It even brings tears to my eyes at the end, which is very unexpected! I really enjoyed it.

Honestly, better than I expected

My expectations were low, I love Will Ferrel but his movies are often shallow and stupid and rarely touches you. This one is not deep and smart, that is not what I'm saying! But it is well made and has a lot of heart in it that balances the shallow and stupid quite good. Add on top of that the end performance by Rachel McAdams, the sweetest actress in all of Hollywood, and you suddenly find yourself cheering for a fictional Icelandic band in a fictional Eurovision contest in this feel good movie of crazy corona summer of 2020. Well done! Well done indeed!

Beautiful...

So silly and exaggerated that it was fun ... A very delicate musical, with a "handsome father" ... Some shots so silly that they are fun, with inside jokes, between Europeans and Americans, "Are you gay? - No, me I am russian." (?!?!?!) I died, and undoubtedly the song "Husavik" deserves an Oscar, magnificently performed by My Marianne... Beautiful...

A great movie, so what's up with all the haters?

This is one of Will Ferrell's best movies and is that Rachel McAdams' voice?! She's amazing! This movie is maybe not as over the top as some of Will's other movies, so if that's what you were looking for I guess you might be disappointed .Personally, we really enjoyed it! It was witty, endearing and just all around feel good.

Trivia
To prep for the film, Will Ferrell attended the 2018 63e édition du concours de l'Eurovision (2018) in Lisbon, Portugal as part of the Swedish delegation and was given access to follow the show from start to finish, including rehearsals.

Goofs
The five biggest financial contributors to Eurovision go straight to the final without going through the semi-finals. These countries are Spain, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, the so called "Big Five". In the film, Spain and the UK sing in the semifinals, something that has never happened in the history of the festival. The result screen also shows all the Big 5, while in the real contest they would only be shown at the finals. Also, the host country has a guaranteed place in the final too. Since the contest was being held in Edinburgh, that means the UK would have been in the final anyway even if it wasn't already a member of the Big-5.
