Just had a right laugh with the kids watching the Eurovision film on Netflix

[Mostpeculiar]

Not very often we watch something together and enjoy it properly cheered me up

Loved it

We’re massive Eurovision fans and it was like a love letter to the whole colourful camp crazy institution. Not usually a Ferrell fan but he nailed it.

Shame it wasn’t her singing! Or the Russian. But both good performances.

DH loves Eurovision. He says this film was his Eurovision fix for this year!

OMG, the elf! And Katiana near the end...

It's amazing. I want to be in a songalong before I die. And meet elves.

Oh the singalong is going to be such a thing now. Good choice with Madonna’s Ray of Light, too.

Nothing tops Jaja ding dong, though.

I have a friend stuck in Iceland on her way to the US - I must ask her what they think of it there.

And yes to the elves... I love the slammed door.

Made me want to go to Munich’s October beer fest, something cheesy and traditional in Holland and just general old Europe festivals

Love that Husavik song, it's become a permanent ear-worm for the past few days! I love Rachel McAdams' character, she was so much better than Lars. The singing and songwriting was hers in the end, not his, and she showed guts and maturity to sit in the artists room after their disastrous performance. Lars was a bit of a coward and didn't deserve her!

I loved it so much. Dan Stevens was fantastic. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Loved it!

Both DD and I loved it!! Everything about it was just perfect.

@BinkyBoinky

Yes, absolutely.

The elves went too far

I've also found my hairstyle for the summer - Bjork meets Kylie. Perfect.

It was amazing! Halfway through I said to DH that I didn't think we'd watch it again... by the end I was crying! Laughter and tears 🤣

We loved it, can't stop singing Jaja Ding Dong and Huskevik - I've played them a few times since!

I read that Sigrit's voice was a blend of Rachel McAdams and a Swedish singer. So she actually sang more than I thought.

Beautiful - very sweet sound to the blend.

I think that it is based on a real singer who wanted to sing in their native language and was seen as a bit old fashioned in their home country?

Family watched it yesterday, great fun!

Finally watched last night. Great fun!

I’m obsessed with Dan Stevens in this ! The scene where she wakes up and he has braided her hair really got me !!
