I really enjoyed this film

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2020)

This is a typical Will Farrell film I guess; silly, funny, not so funny at times but thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. It also captured the contest perfectly for me; I can't believe no one has done something like this before.
I'm humming the Jaja Ding Dong song as I type; it is one of the stupid Eurovision type songs that gets in your head and won't go. But the song Sigrit sang in the actual competition is brilliant. Apart from being a funny film I actually found it quite moving and had a headache at the end from trying to control my emotions and not get laughed at by my wife for crying at a comedy film.
It is a classic loser underdog who comes good in the end film. And a love story. And a comedy film. And a great observational film on the Eurovision; it captures the quirkiness of the competition brilliantly. I can also see why Icelandic folks would love it; I would if I was from Iceland. Made me want to go visit. And I will again be supporting them when they are next in the World Cup competition. I love an underdog who achieves great things.
Bottom line is that I loved it.
