Review of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) by Declan1802 — 02 Jul 2020

I mean the movie is fine by all accounts, there's a couple funny bits and Will Ferrel will give his all whether he's dressed as an Elf, Nascar driver or Icelandic euro pop singer. Its not fantastic though, there were a couple details I noticed that were changed from the trailer i.e. minor lines of dialogue taken out at least in the UK version I watched. Its certainly not the worst comedy i've seen but its felt like awhile since i've seen a Ferrel movie that genuinely made me laugh constantly throughout.Did take slight offence as a Scot seeing they moved the venue of the Hydro and CGI'd it from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Why not just have the host city be Glasgow you really don't need to change much of the plot and saves the pretty poor visual effects of the entire building being placed into Edinburgh's Old Town.

The story is nothing special however I did think the ending half an hour was quite heartwarming but I wasn't really invested in many of the side characters beyond a funny line or two and the montage of songs felt really dated. If you have netflix, by all means give it a watch if you're looking for something light hearted but if you're looking for top quality you could probably find better than this.
