ICELAND'S GOT TALENT

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2020)

Fun, quirky little rom-com, at 2 hours could've been cut, but I enjoyed the Ferell/McAdams's brother/sister? lovebirds' cooing, frustrated BFFs from childhood totally consumed by devotion to their one goal in life: winning top prize at Eurovision! To do so they must overcome a barrage of obstacles, the worst being Will"s disapproving father, played by Pierce Brosnan. In the end, of course, they overcome all the obstacles that really matter, and it's an enjoyable ride along the way
Including topical subject matter like the Iceland bankruptcy, Russian homophobia, and the worldwide obsession with singing contests, I think Ferell and fellow SNL alum Andrew Steele really have their finger on the pulse of the international audience
