The elves went too far

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2020)

Sorry, no sale.
Yes, I know it's supposed to be goofy. Yes, it's Will Ferrell. And yes, Eurovision is over the top, and so it makes sense for the movie to be over the top, too.
But it doesn't work. The look of Europe is there, but the feel isn't. Iceland feels like a Disney ride. The jokes are not funny.
4 stars for the vistas of Iceland, Rachel McAdams, and a few good Eurovision songs, especially Salvador Sobral. (Too bad they didn't include better acts from earlier years, as 2019 was a bit anemic. Lordi, Anouk, Harel Skaat?..)
