I won't lie, I feel like this could be something enjoyable. The Eurovision is a total trashy crapfest, but it is the type of thing that might lend itself quite well to comedy.

Dunno if Eurovision needs a comedic spin from Will Ferrell because Eurovision is a comedy itself, but hey, there's plenty of room for silly humor with this contest as a backdrop so I'm curious.

shyt i mistook reading it "COLIN ferrell to star....so excited and realized... yikes I would totally watch a Eurovision comedy starring Colin Farrell and Will Ferrell, as long as Lanthimos writes and directs, and Graham Norton features in a notable cameo.

That's fncking brilliant - it may be too inside baseball for everyone to get across the board but the video song structure, random graphics, (random!) costumes and the way the song goes through the "Eurovision formula" - odd music changes at various points mid-song and at the end and "Final Countdown" music swelling cheesiness......is almost achingly on point.

Yeah, I was afraid that the Ferrell brand of silliness was gonna misrepresent Eurovision and turn it into a Zoolander-style farce and maybe the movie will be that way, who knows, BUT the song itself is actually...kind of awesome both in terms of how it makes fun of AND captures the Eurovision camp authentically, and also in terms of how much of a banger it actually is

I saw this yesterday. Shockingly, it actually plays like a real Eurovision song. The people behind this movie did their research

They're all Swedish as far as I know so that explains the accuracy. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that this captures a Eurovision song so well coming from a Will Farrell film (the fact he has a Swedish wife surprised me and makes sense he's been properly brainwashed by the amazingness that is Eurovision).

Finally a movie that addresses things I care about in my life .........McAdams looks like a marvelous sport and charmingly goofy comic foil here ........I'm totally in.

I want this to be good. Netflix needs a great comedy and so does Ferrell. My only real issue is that’s really the title of the film? That’s what they’re gonna market it as? It doesn’t sound like a film title whatsoever and I doubt people are even gonna remember what it’s actually called when it’s out.
Anyway, I’m always rooting for McAdams.

6.5-7.0 but closer to 7........wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long.....mid-tier Ferrell vehicle but totally saved by Rachel McAdams who is riotously charming here......and has so many sweet one-liners ("The Elves Went Too Far!") it's adorable. This is the kind of performance Madeline Kahn might have given.......and I don't toss that around lightly.
Very stupid.......occasionally very funny and sweet. Better than the reviews will be I reckon.....

This was fun,if not as funny as I'd hoped it would be.It was warm and silly and the songs were legitimately good.And I totally agree with pacinoyes,Rachel McAdams was the MVP here,she was adorable.

This was okay. Most of the humour didn't work for me but it's watchable. Music sequences were all good. McAdams was awesome but to me, Dan Stevens was the true MVP. He stole the show.

The Eurovision love letter parts of the movie are fun and good, the songs in particular capturing the Eurovision spirit really well. Not to mention the cameos!
The Will Ferrell comedy parts of the movie are pretty lame.

Not a good movie at all, but McAdams was really trying and her scenes were more than watchable. Really dug the Double Trouble song.
