This should become a franchise! Very fun to watch!

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2020)

Okay, first of all, a couple of disclaimers:
1. I am european, and have been watching Eurovision SC until 2011. I stopped watching because it stopped being about songs, and started being about politics
2. I am not a Will Ferrell fan. I usually don't enjoy his comedy type.
The review:
When I first saw the "Volcano Man" video, I thought that I should probably see this movie. I haven't seen a good comedy in ages, so I kind of hoped to get surprised.
Fast forward to today, and I started watching it, with no hopes whatsoever. Just the usual "let's spend two hours" mindset. I can say right here that I was surprised. The movie was a very fun watch - it had just enough comedy, drama and music. Nothing seemed forced, and all the Eurovision references were awesome to see/hear!
I love the lesson the movie is trying to send into the world, and hope that as many people as possible will actually understand what it is - music should be the no. 1 priority of not only this contest, but all music-shows around the world.
Surprisingly, the movie was quite emotional from time to time. They nailed the 'humanity' part of it, and I loved every second of it.
I understand that the IMDB score isn't as high as it should be. Many people, especially americans, have no actual idea what the Eurovision Song Contest is, and how much it used to mean for European music, so for them this is probably less interesting and fun.

As I said in the title, they should make a franchise, and each sequel should follow another European country on their path to the ESC.
