Hilarious and heartwarming comedy

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2020)

Lars and Sigrid live in a small town in Iceland. Ever since they were kids they wanted nothing but to be stars and sing in the EuroVision Songfestival. By a stroke of luck (and some intervention of elves) they manage to get in but the world of showbiz is a lot harder then they expected.
Everyone who knows the EuroVision Songfestival will recognise the ridiculous outfits, manic performances and overall crazy content of this yearly extravaganza. The film did a great job in capturing this in a parody but also showing the little things that still make the ESF worth wild. It's rapped up in a story about love, friendship, trust and overcoming everything life throws at you because you just need to reach your potential. Rachel McAdams and Will Farell do a fantastic job in portraying two sweet and innocent people with big dreams and big hearts trying to maintain their integrity in a world determined to take them down. A film to fall in love with!
