Something light for the weekend. I'm usually hit or miss with Will Farrell, even though we name a cat after him.
If you've been to Europe for any length of time, you know the Eurovision song contest is a big deal. If you haven't, the Eurovision song contest is a big deal. Every country sends an artist to represent their country. It's how ABBA got their start, for instance.
Wil Farrell and Rachel MacAddams play two Icelanders who's lifelong dream is to be in the contest. Sadly, they have very little talent. Or it's quirky. Or it's not quite there yet. For most of the time you think they are overreaching their grasp. But through a series of mishaps they end up at the contest in Edinburgh. There's a lot of comedy based on rubes in the big city. And rubes in the big city music contest.
There are twist and turns in their journey to glory, but most of them you see coming. It's kind of funny. It's kind of endearing. There were some bits that made me laugh.
All in all, there are worse ways to spend two hours.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
