This was so, so poorly cast

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2020)

I love the premise , I love Eurovision, and Will Ferrel's earlier comedies were some of my favorites. But outside of the cinematography and costumes, this was such a huge miss and disappointment on every level. It wasn't funny, or cute, or quirky, it was just a couple of has been actors mailing it in. Rachel McAdams delivered possibly the least convicing performance of a "lead" actress in a film, ever. I can think of 100 actresses who would have been better suited for the role, more believable... so what's going on behind closed doors? Will Ferrel is trying to be himself, and he's bored, not a character. The story of course isn't well executed, but I never expect much from a story in this satire/feel good/comedy movies - so don't take off points for it. Netflix continues to churn out absolute formulated garbage that has those with a semblance of an IQ wondering........ when will the movies be worth our time again?
