Will Ferrell in Eurovision Fire Saga on Netflix

[Ayahuasca]

It is no Elf or Step Brothers, but a good natured comedy about the Eurovision Song Contest. Not perfect, but worth a watch.

Just pretend it is Eurovision weekend - and you will enjoy the film.

Ya Ya Ding Dong!

Its terrible.

Yes, but so good because the Eurovision is terrible and this captures that terrible greatness perfectly.

If you see what I mean.

I'd class it as a good 'B' rated movie.
I like Will Ferrell films, I don't tire of his type of humour. This film isn't great, but has a few funny scenes and is worth a watch if you like Ferrell.

I enjoyed the film, it's a good laugh with some nice moments.

funny film, don't know if americans will get what the ESC is all about, and why europeans love - hate the whole, silly thing.

IIRC Ferrell himself was completely unaware of it until he married a Swede - he loves it now, hence the movie.

I thought it was good, yes its terrible but that adds to the charm.

It feels very similar to blades of glory.

I can see why some people don’t like it. However I thought it was genius and really captured Euro Vision. It was funny, sad, cringey, cheesy, exactly why I like watching Euro Vision.

The wife hated it.

We managed half an hour, our bar is very low, utter crap and we like Will Ferrell.

[Getragdogleg]

I've just watched it again, I like it even more now.

I enjoyed it and so did my teenage children. It’s unusual to find something we all like (46 year old, 16 year old boy and a 13 year old girl).

And yes, we are all singing JaJa Ding Dong.

I’m not a fan of Eurovision, but I genuinely don’t think I laughed once.

Some of his stuff is quite funny, but the roles where he adopts a slight learning difficulty persona, such as this and step brothers I don’t like.

I don’t think the hdr helped things either. The main Characters looked very old. The Iceland scenes (if it was filmed there) looked good though.

Shame, as I fancied some mindless nonsense and found it very unfunny.

Pretty much this.

Did you miss the beginning when they watch ABBA win? The characters are old. If anything Rachel Mcadam is a decade too young
