Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga – 2.5/5
I'm not sure I can say Eurovision is ripe for parody since it already feels like a parody that everyone gleefully embraces. It's stupid, and part of the fun is how invested you get in the stupidity. And the movie, I think, gets the sincerity right—Rachel McAdams creates a surprising warmth you want to root for—but man, what a missed opportunity to dial up the stupidity x1000. Sing big dumb songs, have big dumb personalities. It thought it was coasting on the open seas, sails billowing, but it was anchored by that Will Ferrel laziness, scraping the shoreline.
