I think this film is a perfect blend of “parody of” and “serenade to” the Eurovision Song Contest. It draws attention to the ridiculous, outlandish, quirky nature of Eurovision, but does it in a somewhat beautiful and respectful way; this is really clearly displayed in the Volcano Man music video. It’s true, the accents are all pretty terrible (especially Pearse Brosnan’s which seems like a mix between Welsh and Scottish) but honestly I don’t think they were trying to get it perfect. There are complaints out there about Ferrell’s character being annoying and selfish - but to me he is a perfect contrast to McAdam’s character who is very lovable and loving! The movie is funny and feel good. I would definitely recommend it! (plus I make a couple appearances as an extra so that was fun to see)
