A vision of Eurovision!

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2020)

I finally have a favourite Will Ferrell film! I watch his others and have enjoyed most of them, but they're a watch once, get a meme or two from them, and that's really it. This though... I am a BIG Eurovision fan and this just made up for it not being on this year. It was filmed so well, from the songs, backdrops, dances and camera angles it WAS like watching Eurovision (especially with the added touch of Graham Norton!). Sure there were things that weren't accurate to the real contest (like how the hell did the UK host the thing? We never win! And why were we in the Semi's when we auto go to the final) but it's a film and they needed some license to do certain things. I forgive them.
My husband who will sit and watch Eurovision just to make fun of it (hey at least he watches it with me!) actually said that he had to keep reminding himself that it WASN'T the contest when the performances were on, the camera work, the staging were that accurate.
I was left with a HUGE smile on my face (and Volcano Man stuck in my head) for hours after watching this. This is definitely going to be on again and again in my house - I think it would be an awesome film to snuggle up and watch with a hot chocolate in the winter
