I feel Like there is a level I don't get because I don’t Watch Eurovision.

I still Laughed a good bit.

And all the songs are actually catchy. They got a real song writer to write the music.

Oh I had no idea Eurovision was even a real thing until we googled it half way through the movie

But the movie made us want to travel to experience it

Forbes is calling Eurovision Ferrell's first hit since 2014, so I guess people have in fact noticed Eurovision.

Didn't realize it was the same director as Wedding Crashers, who had not made anything good since. Maybe eurovision is his pre-wedding crashers 2 return to form?

I just watched Eurovision. It was a lot better than I thought it would be.

Two 30-something dudes chasing 20-something poon via wedding receptions is a funny and fine premise.

Two 50-somethings, one already established as a suicidal depressive, after an inevitable divorce, alimony, spoiled shitty kids, and living a miserable life in the 2020s is not something I want to see...

Just let the magic be from the first film.

Rachel McAdams really did it for me in that role. Of course....she does it for me in every role. Would have liked to get a glimpse of that arse at least once but it is what it is

The wife and I watched Downhill one night after browsing Netflix for way too long. We say Ferrell and Louis-Dreyfus so we figured it couldn't be too bad. The trailer looked interesting.

fricking horrible movie. It was a slow drain on the soul. Not even remotely funny from 2 comedic actors. Even their usual "Ferrell-isms" or "Elaine" moments were cringeworthy. Might be the worst movie I've ever seen.

Uncut gems is a turd sandwich. Absolutely terrible movie. By far the worst thing he ever did.

Ok, since Eurovision came out my wife and I have watched it at least eight times and we already know all the words to Volcano Man, Ja Ja Ding Dong, Lion of Love, Double Trouble, and Husavik. I can't help it, I love this movie. Considering most things kinda suck right now it was a great to watch a positive movie. I can't recommend Eurovision enough.

Completely agree with what everyone else is saying. Wife and I watched it, and I enjoyed it more than I expected to. The music was terrific, and I actually think my favorite lines came from the contest commentator. I think it’s worth a watch.

I'm looking at Will Ferrell's filmography and I see that he has six credited roles in movies and television in 2019 and that's not even including all of the guest appearances he had in character as Ron Burgundy in six different talk shows. Is it fair to say that Ferrell has over-saturated himself by appearing in too many movies and shows?

For whatever reason Netflix does frick all for promoting it's movies.


They release them and promote them within the app, but nothing else it seems. It's like they just wait for people to watch and start talking about it online and let it gain traction there.

I liked Eurovision but Ferrell was the weakest part of Eurovision. Everyone else was playing a character, especially McAdams and Stevens, but he was playing Will Ferrell and he took you out of the story every time he talked.

I don’t know, but it seems interesting that his career tanks shortly after pics of him at a spirit dinner were made public.

Obviously there were many other people in the photos, but two years ago he was campaigning for Stacey Abrams here in Georgia and he just seems to be falling off the radar.

Just watched Eurovision, it should’ve been shorter and the whole storyline with the Russian and the Greek chick should’ve been cut out. The music was good though, it had a great ending, that last song is awesome. It wasn’t great, but it wasnt horrible
