Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Movie Reviews

Sweet

Very sweet and pleasant movie to watch. In general it is a lot of fun and the music inside is very beautiful, the only slightly negative note is that towards the middle of the film maybe it slows down a bit too much but still remains very enjoyable and it is difficult to bore.

Euro-fun! A feel-good and funny movie.

If you are a fan of song contests and emotional success stories which might evoke your inner feelings, then you will be well entertained with this film. If you are a fan of Eurovision you will like this even more! And if you are a fan of Will Ferrell, then don’t miss this! He depicts a funny Icelandic musician who is willing to give anything to win the Eurovision Song Contest, He has some great scenes together with the female lead Rachel McAdams, (also an Icelandic musician in the film), who is giving an amazingly heartfelt and sweet performance. The music in the film is great and the performances of various artists are rather notable and give that special Eurovision vibe. Also the production of this film is supported officially by EBU (European broadcast union) so the realism in the competition rules, style and overall look in the film is great. Not to mention the beautiful Icelandic scenery and some funny stereotypical comments from Europeans about other Europeans, and mentions to countries such as Greece, Russia, Sweden etc. All together, creates a kind-of magical sweet success story about true love, about following your passion and about being proud of what you do. 9/10 this was a very fun film!

Not really a comedy…but well worth seeing.

Although this IS a Will Ferrell film, do not watch “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” thinking it will be anything like “Talladega Nights” or “Anchorman”. In fact, I would go so far as to say I wouldn’t even consider it a comedy…though it has some comedic portions. Instead, it’s a strange tribute to Eurovision from some folks who seem to understand and love it.

Now this MIGHT mean that the best audience for this movie are Europeans and folks from a few other countries that also compete in the competition (such as Israel, Turkey and Australia). After all, few Americans (apart from me and a few other strange folks) watch Eurovision or even know what it is or how it’s conducted! But, if you don’t know about it, you might still enjoy it…who knows?

As far as the movie goes, it is the fictional story about Lars and Sigrit (Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams)…a singing duo who, frankly, don’t seem very good. But through an odd set of circumstances, they find themselves the Icelandic entry into Eurovision!! Do they stand a prayer? Probably not…but the film is about them and how they manage to salvage some dignity out of this!

What really helps this story is that so many Eurovision winners and famous competitors appear in the film. Additionally, they must have gotten permission to use the name, bumper music and more…making the film look and sound exactly like Eurovision!

Overall, a wonderful and enjoyable film for anyone who loves Eurovision…and a mildly enjoyable movie for anyone else.
