It's a very articulate movie with funny brilliant singing scenes by Rachel McAdams and Demi Lovato. Will Ferell really killed everything again.

Great, heart-warming movie. Take the backwater-yokel roasting from Will Ferrell's Talladega Nights, and mix it with a rom-com and some surprisingly well produced music. McAdams performance was amazing.

I left understanding that for all critics are, they're just people, and sometimes they have more bias than they do taste. This movie was excellent. It had lighthearted humor that anyone can understand, it represented the beauty of a small town in Iceland, it also didn't follow generic romcom villain story lines, which proved refreshing. Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams proved to be top tier actors, as their chemistry onscreen and their physical commitment to match the singing were fluid and in sync. All together when combined with inter-country banter, the movie proved a fun, passionate, and enjoyable experience. By the end you'll be rooting for the good guys too! I recommend it to anyone and everyone!… Expand

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

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.
