Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

This is way way better than I expected. It's fun and entertaining. It even brings tears to my eyes at the end, which is very unexpected! I really enjoyed it.

My expectations were low, I love Will Ferrel but his movies are often shallow and stupid and rarely touches you. This one is not deep and smart, that is not what I'm saying! But it is well made and has a lot of heart in it that balances the shallow and stupid quite good. Add on top of that the end performance by Rachel McAdams, the sweetest actress in all of Hollywood, and you suddenly find yourself cheering for a fictional Icelandic band in a fictional Eurovision contest in this feel good movie of crazy corona summer of 2020. Well done! Well done indeed!

As a European living in America I don't understand why people are surprised that the US made a movie about Eurovision. The US makes movies primarily for an american audience. Of course they'll make this. They have the money, the skills, and the experience to pull this off and THEY SURE DID!! This movie had it all. The songs were actually SO GOOD! The singing was amazing. The story was obviously nothing original. But it's like eating your favorite ice cream. You've had it a million times and it still tastes great!

And to all the 1 star reviewers - you must seek help immediately because you clearly need a reality check. Do you check into an Economy Inn and expect the Ritz Carlton too?? What is wrong with you?! The movie is entertaining, quite funny, very light, and just overall fun. If you expected some life changing, never-seen-before comedy, then you are crazy.

I loved this movie, and I don't understand why it isn't better rated so felt obliged to leave a good rating. I feel like I owe that to the movie. Is that insane? Possibly. I can only assume the low ratings are left by people that don't know or understand Eurovision. This movie was everything I needed and took me back to watching Eurovision as a kid. Can't say enough good things about it.

This is one of Will Ferrell's best movies and is that Rachel McAdams' voice?! She's amazing! This movie is maybe not as over the top as some of Will's other movies, so if that's what you were looking for I guess you might be disappointed .Personally, we really enjoyed it! It was witty, endearing and just all around feel good.
