Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams are friends from childhood at the start and

Spoiler:

fall for each other by the end. There's a thing at the end about love and happiness being more important than success in winning Eurovision, like in Yesterday where the main guy gives up his successful career.

I suppose what happens is pretty standard for rom-coms though.

Yeah I suppose. A cross between Yesterday and that episode of Father Ted then

I enjoyed it BUT...

1) A whole part of the plot is that the Icelandic guy is worried that they'll win meaning it'll be hosted in Iceland...

2) The Lion guy mentions that it doesn't matter that the UK entry is good because everyone hates the UK so we never win...

3) It's being hosted in Edinburgh, which means that even by ESTABLISHED IN-MOVIE RULES, the UK must have won the previous year.


... ... ... I mean, I wouldn't mind if they changed the facts to fit the film - i.e. it doesn't have to be hosted in the winning country, OR it's feasible that the UK won...

But they mention both the hosting rules AND the situation with the UK never winning, within the film itself . Broken internal logic.

Other than that though I thought it was great, the accents were awful but in a good way. At one point, Brosnan flipped wildly from something that sounded a bit Scottish to something that was just flat-out Welsh within the space of 20 seconds

Unless in the film's universe, Scotland gets its own entry and we won the previous year, which obviously should happen and we would definitely win .

Scotland, Wales being independent into real Eurovision, would be a dream yes


already am loving Welsh music (even though harshly underrated) at junior eurovision

[James]

They kept making a joke about how the main two were 'probably' not siblings. I was a bit worried while watching that it would be a plot twist at the end.

[Niamh.]

TS I was thinking that too, also the fact that the hosts were clearly not from the UK was odd as well, if it's being hosted in the UK then it would surely have UK hosts, unless the hosts were from whichever country that won and if so, the rule for hosting does not apply therefore the Icelanders worries were pointless

[James]

Graham Norton talking over the songs also.

[Niamh.]

Regarding the really bad accents, that was something I didn't mind either it made the film funnier

The twist was in fact that Sigrit's mum was the only one in town who HADN'T slept with Erick .

Having just seen this it's not amazingly funny and it's pretty stupid at times but I still loved it. Mainly for three reasons:

- Jaja Ding Dong

- The songalong

- Husavik

[MTVN]

Definitely didn't just watch this a second time

They've been playing Husavik on the radio recently which is great but the radio edition cuts some of the Will Ferrell bits from the song for some reason, takes away some of the emotion imo

Youtube video

our 1996 entry Franklin Brown & Maxime covered Double Trouble and it is soo good

[user104658]

Rewatching this while working - I just realised a plot hole!

...they all laugh about them and how awful they are and how they could never win at first... and yet the song right at the beginning ("Volcano Man") would ****ing easily win Eurovision .

[UserSince2005]

The singalong was the best part.

acoustic music video of Husavik premiered last night

I haven’t watched but perhaps it’s a situation where Australia won, and as they aren’t allowed to host in their own country they chose Scotland to hold it? That’s the only explanation I can think of
