Even Imdb reviewers who liked it said it wasn't Lol funny, but I thought it was Lol funny. Some said you'd have to watch Eurovision to get/like it, but I don't think so. Some said not to expect a great plot or depth, but this movie actually had a story and some twists. I really liked that Dan Stevens as the Russian competitor was not an antagonist or romantic rival, but just a friend to Rachel McAdams. Also he's amazing, I didn't even recognize him. RM was also super likeable and impressive.****

This movie feel trapped between trying to make fun of the Eurovision Song Festival, while also being a sincere lovely homage to it. Making it work as neither. The humor falls flat cause it doesn't go all out in ridiculing it, while the positivism is undermined by the parody. At times it feels like WF was trying to make a different kind of movie than the rest. Trying to poke fun at everything while the rest wasn't. It's annoying how much WF thinks WF is funny. It's also too long.

This was torture for me but debatably not without some redeeming qualities. It has some optimism and absurdism that work with the subject matter. However I was constantly questioning the supposedly uncynical basis of the whole affair which made the comedy fail miserably. Being myself such a miserable cynic I find myself preconsciously receptive towards optimistic idealism but this just made me want to die inside. An existential crisis I choose to blame on the accents.

This film's strength is also it's main weakness: It truly loves Eurovision. This means that while it embraces the competition and its fans wholeheartedly to the point they will feel loved and enjoy this, its unable to directly poke fun at what is an eminently mockable annual event. McAdams utterly outshines Ferrell here and is the surprising heart and soul of the movie, but Will still has some moments like 'the elves' scene. Bit of a cult classic in the making here, but I'm part of the cult ;)

The tone wasn't what I expected. More often charming than funny. It dragged in the middle and could have used with some trimming down, like most of my reviews. A movie like this doesn't need to be over two hours, especially if the other countries' songs aren't given much time. I'm not too familiar with the actual competition, but the screen time that was given to the music seemed to parody and pay homage to it pretty well.

Not terrible and possibly better than the shite Ferrell has been pumping out over the last decade or so. It’s way too long and would have been improved significantly with a 90 minute run time.

Two thoughts: 1] Pierce Brosnan in another musical? Look out! But he doesn't sing, so I guess it's okay. 2] Dan Stevens left Downton Abbey in its prime to make movies like this?! Anyway, this is a good-natured, silly film that was rather enjoyable, but also much too long.

I thought this was alright! Ferrell isn’t acting like a complete dimwit and McAdams once again shows how capable she is as a comedic actress. Dan Stevens was definitely a highlight as well. No, I did not know what Eurovision was before seeing this. Sue me! The music works for the film and the vocal performances are solid. It is predictable and it isn’t consistently funny, but the jokes and gags work when they aren’t dick jokes. Still, it’s clean, wholesome, charming, and entertaining.

Silly, inoffensive and Rachel McAdams is rather wonderful at times. Unlike many of the other reviewers, I found Will Ferrell rather restrained. I particularly liked the hometown bar scenes -ja, ja, the dingdong ones. They were funny, familiar and warmly sentimental.

Due to my probable score, I was pleasantly surprised by this. Dan Stevens was hilarious and Pierce Brosnan was fun. The story isn't great, but the songs really carried it for me.

Not the most inspired Ferrell vehicle, which is kind of good because reminds us of how McAdams is great at comedy. The acts look and sound pretty well-staged and left me wanting more of the competitive material -- and less of the (yet to be) couple dynamics. I shouldn't be rooting for a sequel, but what the hell, sure I am.

The main problem with this comedy is there are a lack of funny moments. The cast do a good job with their roles but the script fails to provide many laughs. Overall this movie is disappointing.

I guess Will Ferrell is officially past the stage where I would find him funny reading from a phone book. I think this movie probably relies pretty heavily on a familiarity with Eurovision, which is something I had no idea was real until I paused this movie 15 minutes in and YouTubed it. I really just didn't find this funny and tapped out pretty early.

Spain wouldn't have been in a semi final as they are part of the big five. This single flaw - in a film endorsed by Eurovision itself no less - is unforgivable. Also, it's way too long, the "group sing" thing was horrific and did not fit at all, the whole voting sequence was painful to sit through and it wasn't funny. They also had too many different ideas and the script needed some editing to strip some of the bloat out of it.

Was I expecting to like this movie? Absolutely not. I thought it was going to be trash...but dang it...I had a great time with it. Not necessarily for the humor, though. I would argue, instead, it's for the music - which blends into the comedy decently. It reminded me of Will Farrell's older sports comedies in a way.

I think I laughed twice. Unnecessarily long.

Surprisingly nice with funny music and Stevens, McAdams, and Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey all ruled

The idea is funny, but sadly the film is a schoolbook example of a prolonged joke. The script seems to be done with bullet points and there’s no reason whatsoever why it lasts over 2hrs. They’ve captured the Eurovision cliches and spirit, McAdams sings well and some numbers are quite funny, but they still cannot beat the real Eurovision. This film is like a continuation of 90's Direct-to-video crap with known actors slumming it for paycheck; hopefully that's not the way Netflix is heading.

Strikes a fine balance between love and ridicule, which alone makes it far more succesful than the kind of similar Blades of Glory. Dan Stevens and Pierce Brosnan are a joy.
