I'm not giving it a perfect score. The film is a bit too long.
I can easily picture Will Ferrel's comedy brain sitting through a Eurovision Song Contest finale with his swedish in laws. Suddenly a light bulb appeares over his head... Let's get to work!
I'm pleasently surprised about how good this movie was. It nailes the craziness perfectly. And the balance between drama and comedy was spot on.
Perfect execution. There's great insight here in how that highly entertaining song contest montrosity works. And it's done with respect.
I love it when I laugh out loud while watching a movie. There's an ufortunate boat incident here that i should have seen coming. But I didn't. I had to press pause after that one...
Watch it! Funny comedies doesn't come along very often.
