Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's Eurovision time!
A lighthearted movie that manages to not be dumb. While the plot and story are super bonkers the execution is not bad. Some jokes are a bit overdone and scenes tend to drag just a bit too long overall most jokes are funny. Even if the movie itself is somewhat too long for the format (some 20 minutes less would work much better) it doesn't feel stretched overall. Meanwhile musical parts are not overdone and even if you are not a fan of musicals they are OK. Fire Saga's performances are of course mostly humour but "serious ones" are not bad either.
Ending is of course quite predictable but kind of sweet, even if it relies too heavily on cliches of such movies. - sasha_s19 - 31 August 2023
So charming
I loved this. It's taken me years to see, but it's so worth a watch. I don't do subscription services, so. However, every now again some great things are produced and released.
The music is fantastic, the comedy is great, the actors all still got it. The accents were super cute and fun. Dan Stevens as the Russian is the absolute best! The glimpses of Iceland were really nice as well.
Probably the best Will Ferrell vehicle in a long time, prior or since. Very enjoyable. Good writing, good timing. The conflict towards the end was a bit simplish, but still okay, and believable for the story. The music video at the beginning was amazing too!
