Fun for Eurovision fans

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2020)

I think that the songwriters did a splendid job (good songs with the right amount of parody). I wish the movie was a bit funnier and logical. Some scenes were dying for a wittier joke (for Will Ferrell and Graham Norton, at least). It looks like some scenes were quite obviously inserted (for a reason) but not blended into the story well, characters's actions are not explained or they have a rather flat explanation. I really loved Rachel's acting. I think some foreshadowing was unnecessary (e.g. Rachel's scarf). The roles of Greek and Russian characters, I felt, needed to be less superficial (especially Dan Stevens's - I liked his acting). All in all, a fun movie, especially for those who missed Eurovision this year.
