Grand Prix in a Nutshell - 8 Points to Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2020)

I love Will Ferrell, I love the ESC, and this is the movie I never knew I apparently needed!
If you go into this Netflix production with zero expectations like my boyfriend and I (because let's face it, with Will Ferrell flicks it's either a hit or complete miss), I'm sure most viewers will be pleasantly surprised. Of course it's silly and some scenes fall a bit flat, but there's also a good portion of heart and soul in there to balance it off. What I loved most was how it captures the ESC, being a parody in the best sense without being malicious. The jokes, the acts and the music (they even threw some sort of "Lordi" band in there), the costumes, everything was on point and let's face it, pretty accurate. Everything we love (or love to hate) about the ESC was highlighted basically.
All in All ... 8 Points to Fire Saga from me.
