Not funny, but the music was good

Rating: 6/10 (5 July 2020)

Will Ferrell is pretty hit or miss in comedies and this was right in between. The jokes are pretty weak, but the songs alone made this watchable. Being not familiar with Eurovision, it was very interesting to learn about it as I watched. While there are some laughs for sure, the accents throughout are impossible to ignore. Both Will and Rachel would jump from Icelandic, to German, to Swedish, to sometimes just plain American accent. I enjoyed the story, but the corrupt city official subplot trying to randomly kill Will Ferrell in the end was completely unnecessary and added nothing. Which was followed up by a ghost warning him about the official, only for Will to say "oh we are good, I already killed him". As far as the music every song is catchy, and I've already got JaJa Ding Dong stuck in my families heads by playing it ad nauseam. I would definitely recommend this, it's a fun time all things considered.
