Exactly. It’s Will Ferrell’s goof on the whole EUROVISION competition. It’s like his TALLADEGA NIGHTS spoofs race cars and BLADES OF STEEL spoofs male figure skating.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. Rachel McAdams is great, as usual, and I was really moved by the song at the finale, which I wasn’t expecting. I enjoyed all the songs, actually. Dan Stevens is a lot of fun, too.
I think it depends on how familiar you are with Eurovision. The Eurovision segments and songs are fantastic, very well done and very funny. great pastiche of the contest. the love story and will Farrell stuff around the Eurovision is less effective unless you're a big fan of his
In January Ferrell revealed he was adapting the film for the stage and Alex Timbers just shared this photo of himself and some of his frequent collaborators watching Eurovision.
