I really didn't expect to love this movie as much as I did but it grows on your very heavy. Everything draws you in, the settings, the characters, the situations and of course the music.

Everything draws you in, the settings, the characters, the situations and of course the music. The stars of the film certainly do their part to make it shine, Ferrell's typical comedy bits find a place in this film and come across okay, not great honestly but there are good moments. McAdams is truly the one who steals the limelight though, her acting as Sigrit is simply charming, I find myself rewatching small little parts where her accent or facial expressions (or both) are just so endearing I can't get enough of them. The stars seem like an unlikely pair at first glance but truly do work so well together and they sell the love story of the movie so proficiently that there is no question it is the real heart of the film and the reason I want to watch it over and over again. Overall, it's a treasure of a film which has so many perfect moments and genuinely good music with a few comedic attempts that fall flat but which don't ruin the film. I'd recommend to anyone who likes Ferrell, McAdams, Rom-Coms, and/or unique pseudo-musical type singing. Worth the watch. Also coming from an American with exactly zero knowledge of Eurovision prior to watching the film.… Expand

This movie was hilarious, great songs! The story is very straight forward but I didn’t mind it.

Much better than expected! I was expecting a regular Will Ferrell movie, where I would half like it and half not, but I think he was actually paired with the write cast member this time with the beautiful Rachel McAdams and it all works outMuch better than expected! I was expecting a regular Will Ferrell movie, where I would half like it and half not, but I think he was actually paired with the write cast member this time with the beautiful Rachel McAdams and it all works out for the best! The two of them play off each other beautifully, and the only distraction is the age difference... but, this movie drew me in from the beginning, kept me enchanted with the witty humor from Dan Stevens, and this is a surprisingly good, if not great Will Ferrell movie!… Expand

The plot, while pretty cliché, had a lot of charming characters, but the best parts of the movie were hands-down the fake Eurovision songs. They were spot on! This movie wasn't trying to be some deep masterpiece. It was a silly comedy to watch with your friends late at night and it succeeded in being just that.… Expand

Film perfetto per l’estate e dopo questo periodo di lockdown ho riso molto ma alla fine ho anche pianto. Un film che da emozioni difficilmente può essere insufficiente. Voto 10 a Ferrel che è riuscito a creare questa perla della comicità.

This is just like one of Will Ferrell’s comedy classics of old. I laughed pretty hard at certain parts. Definitely couldn’t come out during the pitch perfect years, but I think this would’ve done well even in theaters.

I thought the film completely captured the atmosphere of the Eurovision song contest with lots of tongue in cheek. I visited Iceland for the first time soon after (and actually came across an extra of the film whilst there) and the locals didn't know what to make of the film's depiction of Iceland and the people. I believe the film was thoughtful and respectful to Iceland and the contest, but what the Russians will make of the Russian contest entry gender is another matter. A great fun film to be enjoyed best if you don't start with expectations. The songs were spot on. I have now watched it 3 times with different people who all loved it.… Expand
