Eurovision Song Contest-The Story of Fire Saga- Netflix

[Marmite17]

Ya Ya Ding Dong! One of the funniest, most feel good films I've seen; it's about two Icelandic musicians and their childhood dream of winning the Eurovision Song Contest.
Brilliant!

Looking forward to watching this, trailer looks amazing

Hungover today and watching this was the best!

Oh I'm glad to hear this as reading the reviews it seems it wasn't well received!

Oh my! We watched this last night and it was brilliant. We do love Eurovision though.
Ja Ja Ding Dong!

Have just watched this and both DH and I LOVED IT.

A total pisstake of Eurovision but in an affectionate way. Dan Stevens is superb. One of the best things I've seen on Netflix recently and perfect for light-hearted lockdown viewing.

(Lots of places I recognised in Glasgow and Edinburgh too)

Just watched it - a great parody and heart-warming watch. Gutted that the real thing was cancelled this year - my favourite night of the year! Love Will Ferrell so much!

It dragged a bit about 3/4 of the way in ( much like the actual Eurovision experience) but generally it was silly fun. Worth it for Dan Stevens playing a Russian sex god singer with a bouffant hairdo and a Graham Norton cameo.

We watched it last night and thought it was fab! It was quirky, charming and an affectionate pisstake of Eurovision - light hearted entertainment!

Not sure Will Ferrell was the best choice - a bit too old for that part I thought but I can see why as his character was similar to Buddy in terms of being quite childlike.

But Dan Stevens was amazing - played the part to perfection and totally stole the film!

Just finished watching it, probably only stuck with it because of Dan Stevens, he stole the show, absolutely brilliant.

It was brilliant. So funny and Dan Stevens was the best thing in it.

I'm glad it's affectionate rather than a total pisstake. Ironic that it's about the Icelandic entry as they were widely tipped to win this year had it gone ahead.

LOVED IT!
I cried during the pianist cameo (don’t want to spoil it!)...loves all the other cameos too.
Laughed at The Hydro being in Edinburgh though.

DH and I watched it last night and have been humming Ja Ja Ding Dong all day long! I'm allergic to juvenile movies and thought this would be shit, but it was actually surprisingly sweet and enjoyable

Watched it last night.

A feel good film and raised a few chuckles from the teenagers which is also a blessing at the moment !

Pierce Bronson very much a silver fox 💕

OMG!! I must have been watching a totally different film to everyone else! Just finished watching! I thought it was dire.

Enjoyed the music but the comedy was non existent! Admittedly not a Will Ferrell fan. Hated 'Elf' and find Ferrell himself really creepy.

Clearly I'm in the minority.

We watched it last night and really enjoyed it - it was very true to the Eurovision spirit, which we adore.

Loved it! As did dd. Can't believe how they got the Eurovision tone just right.

I love Elf but I didn't like this at all even with a bit of Abba thrown in. It was just very strange! Iceland looked nice though!

Turned it off after half an hour.

I loved it - it really captured the essence of Eurovision. The cameos were all very cleverly done. Loved the hamster wheel! Shame there were no Russian grannies.

People who didn’t like it- do you watch Eurovision?

I've just watched it. I LOVE Eurovision so was very excited for this. Loved the song a long bit.

Did anyone else notice the deliberate (I assume) mistake?

What mistake?

Just watched it! It was much funnier than I thought it would be- the medley with the real Eurovision contestants was brilliant.

Just finished watching it. Brilliant feel good movie.
