Will Ferrell captured the true essence of Eurovision - long but brilliant. Douze points!

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2020)

This is the thing, if you are not a Eurovision fan then you probably won't enjoy this movie as much. There are certain skits and bits in the movie that will only be funny to someone that has been following the Eurovision Song Contest and understand the true greatness of this show. Will Ferrel has been thinking about making this movie for 20 years, and he loves this show. He didn't just decide to make this movie because he needed the extra cash (although I'm sure he doesn't mind that either)
Yes, the movie is a bit long, but its nothing compared to how long the televised Eurovision Song Contest is, which is close to 4 hours and that's just the finals. I am a true Eurovision fan myself, and I loved the movie. Have a glass of tall champagne and watch the movie when you are in a good mood, just like one would be before the real Eurovision finals. I give this movie 12 points - douze points.
