Plot: When aspiring musicians Lars (Will Ferrell) and Sigrit (Rachel McAdams) are given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent their country at the world's biggest song competition, they finally have a chance to prove that any dream is a dream worth fighting for. Two small-town singers chase their pop star dreams at a global music competition, where scheming rivals, high stakes and onstage mishaps test their bond.
My Movie Review: The movie is surprisingly good and better than expected thought it's going to be a raunchy comedy that doesn't served but with some twisted fate it hit all the right notes:0 Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga is captivating when it needs to be as terribly funny when it push beyond limit giving us something we don't know we need- heartfelt comedy! Sigrit and Lars are Icelandic singing hopefuls who started dreaming of joining the contest since they were children which is very relatable I'm too wanted to be a singer when I was very young inspiring when characters like them are fully realized the two are memorable with distinct traits! The sing-along in their night party was one of the highlight with spontaneous singing that make you wanna groove A La Pitch Perfect Rif-Off full talent blast in a showcase its really enjoyable:) It was so cute and clever to see in the final credits with the name of the actors are shown with the flag of the country they were born so good to know there's a real Eurovision Song Contest:)
Critics Consensus: Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga contains inspired ingredients and laugh-out-loud moments, but they're outnumbered by the flat stretches in this overlong comedy. Will Ferrell is his goofy, outsized self but Rachel McAdams brings charming sweetness to this delightfully silly comedy. Eurovision falls well short of a laugh a minute, but it has some uproarious moments that something like Holmes & Watson lacked. A high-concept, low-brow romantic comedy that overstays its welcome by at least a half-hour and can't decide whether it wants to buy into or satirize incomprehensibly popular European singing contest. As a plausible work of art, it deserves nul points, but it's still film of the week, no contest. Make no mistake: this is an A to Z Will Ferrell movie, but with its zany humor taken just a notch down. It moves towards emotional territory, balancing between rom-com and inspirational storytelling. Interesting detour in Ferrell's body of work. Eurovision Song Contest is filled with lavish and often hilarious production numbers... Instead of tribute it settle for being decent Ferrell vehicle:)
