Loads of fun. But as a European I can tell you the Eurovision song contest is way carzier.

What is for the most part a really annoying movie is saved by some really cute interactions and a fun premise. A loveletter to Eurovision and international togetherness marred by an incredibly out-of-place Will Ferrell.

This movie has lots of heart and it captures the spirit of the Eurovision Song Contest quite well. The last song and montage could be straight out of the real ESC

I thought that is embodied much of what the Eurovision show is about and the main actors had a lot of chemistry and wonderful acting. Great story, funny lines and a really unique movie!

I would give this movie a 4/10 however people give it 10/10 so to balance that ridiculous score I must give it a 0. I don't feel bad for giving it 0 Expand

It’s full of great moments that are washed away by a poor storyline and it’s factual errors. It’s over the top and headache inducing tries at comedy leave you with a cringe feeling and regret for having spent two hours for nothing.

For a cheesy rom-com in 2020, I have to admit it was a lot better than what I was expecting originally.

* Not racially, gender-ally, diversity, LGBTQ+-lly charged at all. It touches the subject, of course, but doesn't overextend into it; which I have to say, is pretty rare these days.
* It's a bit long, but enjoyable.
* Quick humorous comebacks.
* Quirky and nuts, but in a fun and cute way.
* Doesn't lose itself in sexual stereotypes and promiscuousness, as many romcoms.
* It's cheesy, but not "too cheesy".
* Will-Ferrellisms kept to a minimum, I think only a couple of them.

If you know what Eurovision is about you definitely should see the movie! I would define this film as an Americans perspective on Eurovision song contest. A lot of roasting of Europe and American culture. I laughed a lot.

Like, Songvakeppnin is one of the strongest national finals and it's said like a 'joke final for TV', it's not a nice thing. But well, somehow (no spoilers here) they made it to Eurovision in Scotland, I would love to see that again, and it was 50 minutes of the movie when I actually started caring about how it would end, then I stopped again knowing the rules and how unreal they are in the movie. But well... it all a long, LONG, a little horrible and you wanna quit, road to the end. But it ends and it's nice, some way I enjoyed the end and how it was treated. Also, Demi participation is irrelevant and it's like a cameo, nothing interesting. Expand

I had a fun time watching this movie from start to finish, the music is enjoyable and most of the comedy lands where it was intended. Check this one out.
