Yesterday I considered a short *NM* reply saying it is being talked about in my gay circles. *shrug* Roland00 Send a noteboard - 12/07/2020 10:58:11 PM

I mean, obviously there are some in the US who follow it, I was only just discussing it with Greg in another thread, but you wouldn't think it's mainstream enough to release an American movie about it. Unless they're hoping to aim it more at the European market than the American one, but that would be pretty rare for Hollywood movies...

I might watch a Eurovision movie, but I'm really not a Will Ferrell fan and from your review doesn't exactly sound great. Though as you say, you may not be the best placed to judge.


It's mainstream enough among some subpopulations in the US. Gay men for instance. Rachel McAdams is in it also and she tempers the annoyingness of Ferrell.

Ultimately its a movie made by an American who loves Eurovision. And it shows. Even if the facts are not always right. Or the urban geography.

Hollywood made a movie about the Eurovision Song Contest? Weird. Legolas - 12/07/2020 01:07:34 AM 509 Views
It was enjoyable. There were so many former Eurovision winners in it. The Shrike - 12/07/2020 02:43:12 PM 487 Views
Rachel McAdams is a big plus, true. I see it's on Netflix, will give it a shot. Legolas - 12/07/2020 10:12:25 PM 460 Views

Thank you both! *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 14/07/2020 03:01:14 PM 297 Views
Yeah, many of mine aren't very pop-py or typical modern Eurovision camp. Legolas - 14/07/2020 06:16:21 PM 475 Views
I like her music. She feels very 80s. But with a modern twist. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 09:29:18 PM 499 Views
I've read that elsewhere, I don't know that I really hear it? Legolas - 14/07/2020 11:12:56 PM 411 Views

Is it weird that the one who posts a review is apparently the only one ignorant of Eurovision here? *NM* Cannoli - 15/07/2020 05:18:45 AM 245 Views
