Movie review - "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" (2020) ***

A bit flabby, Will Ferrell is maybe too old for this stuff and to co star against Rachel McAdams, and I wondered about Americans mocking Icelanders (is that still okay?)... but the film's heart is in the right place. There's lots of songs and colour, not to mention spectacular Icelandic scenery.

I also liked that Ferrell gave the movie to McAdams essentially - she has the biggest journey, for lack of a better word. Pierce Brosnan rocks up as he often does in Europudding movies. The money spent on Jonsi was well worth it.
