Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga
This was a bit of a return to form for Ferrell. He’s a very funny man but some of his last few outings, like Holmes and Watson, just weren’t funny films.
He is a fan, apparently, of ad-libs and Impromptu work and some of the stuff that makes its way into his movies show some poor editorial choices. But this film is a lot of fun and one I could gladly watch again, and soon.
The story isn’t sacrificed for jokes and as Ferrell is a die-hard Eurovision fan he may have seen it as a duty to deliver something to non-Eurovision fans that honours the contest lovingly with all its colourful bombastic silliness. Good stuff.
