I love how Rachel McAdams had make up and look all ready for an interview but Will Ferrell looks like he just woke up and rolled out of bed haha

If it was reversed, Rachel would have been bashed relentlessly. I can only imagine. 🙄

He’s a comedian who has ran down the road naked and always looks ridiculous. She made a career being pretty so it makes sense and goes to their personalities.

[@amandahibbs4680]

She’s a good actress so let me throw that out there but part of that is being in romantic leads...Will not so much

[@KD-sz5bx]

Rachel is 41 years of age and she still looks like she’s in her early twenties. She’s one of the most beautiful women in the world.

[@caterinadenice4402]

What? She does look beautiful but she looks in her forties easy. I have no idea what you are talking about... Also, if you think she is one of the most beautiful woman in the world, you should go out a little more.

As a Scandinavian, I really think she had an impressive Icelandic accent for being a Canadian! Same goes for the Russian guy. I would never have guessed that he is British.

[@dedeshaw5874]

I went into watching this movie with no hope of it being funny and I absolutely loved it. They are such good actors and SO funny.

[@Thevegan8Recipes]

She is so so beautiful and seems like the sweetest, most humble person, which only further radiates her beauty.

If you like Icelandic listen to Sigur Ros, some of their songs played in the movie.

[@timrandolph214]

If you want beautiful Icelandic music then go be in awe of the most beautiful Icelandic music you’ll hear from a band called Sigur Ros... they made up their own language to occasionally sing in called “hopelandic” and they sing in Icelandic and English sometimes also!

[@lindakutsubos1222]

Thank you Tim Randolph and Hodoss.

[@escfan2706]

As a hardcore Eurofan, I loved how the movie acknowledged the serious, quality and beautiful aspect to Eurovision as well as the jokey aspect (my least fav part to Eurovision) Because Eurovision, contrary to what many people believe, has some fantastic and beautiful songs😁 All in all the film was great, and I specifically adored Husavik, such an outstanding song. A song originally sung by Melfest legend Molly Sandén btw, go give her discography a listen❤️

[@lindakutsubos1222]

Oh okay never saw Eurovision or heard of it. I don't have Netflix so haven't got to see it as well as a lot of good movies. Looks pretty good though from what I've seen.

[@awnzotheman]

So is it like... the voice or something?

[@ralphranalli4154]

OMG MOLLY SANDEN'S VOICE!

[@mgm579]

Eff. U.!! Most Americans don’t know anything about because it is never talked about in the media but it is an annual European music competition watched by millions with one contestant from each country. It is an honor to participate with a huge lead up time. The winning country hosts the following years competition. The movie portrays it pretty well with a healthy dose of humor in different aspects. This movie actually had multiple real Eurovision contest winners in it in the song along episode at the Russian party.

[@escfan2706]

E. U That’s a common misconception for people who have never seen it before but no it’s nothing like the voice. Each year around 40 countries choose songs and artists through internal selections or national finals. National finals being when multiple singers attempt to perform at Eurovision for that country. Each country can pick their song and artist in any way they like, as long as the song hasn’t been publicly released earlier than September of the previous year. There are two semis at Eurovision in which roughly 17 songs compete in each with 10 making it to the final based off of a jury and a televote. In the final the 20 qualifiers plus the big 5 (🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸🇬🇧🇩🇪 countries that put the most money financially into the contest get a free pass to the final each year) Perform and a winner is decided by a combination of jury and televote. So in reality it’s actually very different to the voice, plus it’s being around 60 years longer than it😆 Began in 1956

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

The movie made 2020 much more bearable. Fantastic film!

[@jsphat81]

This is the funniest movie Will has done since Blades of Glory! I loved it! Rachel is an amazing actress. She was my favorite! Hard to believe she is Canadian watching this movie.

[@kavel22]

"Volcanic protector maaan!"...this alone makes the movie worth watching. It's really good.

[@krs6239]

🤣🤣🤣

[@BrianSmith-ik7xn]

Lol I love the overhead camera angle while they're making snow Angels

[@okidok4155]

I thought Fire Saga was weird but after learning about Eurovision... They were perfectly normal in their league.

[@saxx9088]

No actually, that isn’t that normal

[@fairyqueen7351]

lol precisely!! - just try finding old Eurovision contests here on you tube lol...it's so right on the money.

[@escfan2706]

There we go the first misconception😔 Actual fans know that joke acts are a small part of Eurovision, but if you want to act like that’s all there is to it, go ahead, you’ll be the one missing out not me😚

[@escfan2706]

Rikke L. M. Christensen Oh that’s funny I do look at old contests and I only ever find a small percentage of acts like fire saga🧐 I only notice the quality songs and music 😙

[@margueritenoiris9355]

At least we Europeans put our village idiots in a song competition instead of letting them run for president. PS: the UK doesn't count. They're a league of their own.

[@cFatoss]

It's a very funny movie 😂 especially the small things that only Eurovision fans know😂😂❤️

[@TimeForAReview]

Rachel McAdmas has always been one of my favorite actresses. Shes so funny and sweet.

[@herika006]

The guy who kept asking for the Ja Ja Ding Dong song had an appearance in the actual show this year (2021). And yes, you guessed it, he asked for the song.

[@EmoBearRights]

The actual Icelandic contestant this year covered the song and so did the Norwegian one and the Finnish contestants had a sign with 'Play Ja Ja Ding Dong' on it.

[@webmart70]

Whenever tourists visit Iceland they will say to the locals play Ja Ja Ding Dong!😂😂😂

i just wish they had done some of the basics correctly and not have had more than 6 people on stage, and BIg 5 countries competing in the semis, for instance. That could´ve been taken care of with the smallest amount of research. That´s things everyone who watches Eurovision knows.
