More than your typical Will Ferrel movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2020)

I wanted to give this movie a 7.5, so thought an 8 would be what I would settle on. Better than I thought it would be! Classic Will Ferrel movie but with more maturity. The characters while still outlandish, are better developed and much more believable compared to his past movies. It helps that it's set around a music contest with pop stars who have big personalities and eccentricities. Definitely a feel good movie ( my boyfriend and I cried a few times lol). The sets and wardrobe are beautiful, and the music is great and well written. All of the acting was spot on. After Holmes and Watson, this movie is refreshing and surprising!
