Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Review

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

Netflix

I really didn’t know what Eurovision was when I watched this.  While I had heard of it I thought it was something similar to American Idol, where people compete all over Europe in a singing competition.  Now I understand it’s something a little more similar to like a singing Olympics where countries from all over Europe send their best to compete with each other and one person, representing their country, wins.  And many times the are are a little untraditional.

Now that we know what Eurovision is, the movie is about an act trying to get there and their relationship with each other.  Had so much potential with the premise and with Will Ferrel and Rachel McAdams starring.  While Rachel McAdams acting is good in the movie, even she can’t overcompensate for the horrific writing.  I love a good slapstick as much as anyone else, but this was not it for me. 

For a newer slapstick comedy that is actually funny, do yourself a favor and watch The Wrong Missy.
