Great mock-comedy

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2020)

The Eurovision is one of those things that almost seems like a parody in itself. This film does brilliantly to be humorous and ridiculous without going over the top.
It's an issue with plenty of Will Ferrell movies that it just becomes completely absurd and ends up being corny rather than funny.
The film has a very strong blend of ridiculousness with a strong plot line that isn't lost throughout. The assorted characters are well cast and add to the story fittingly.
Dan Stevens does a great job as a semi antagonist. Also playing a LGBT character without it being over the top and in your face. Hollywood has a habit of making LGBT characters ridiculously stereotypical to fit the "appropriate" casting rather than making a genuine character.
Overall it was highly enjoyable and ridiculous comedy. Would recommend
