Agreed with both previous reviews. It's endearing. There are times Ferrell bugs the crap out of me and other times when he nails it. This was a nail. Downton factor 1 = Matthew Crawley who just won my respect because I totally didn't recognize him until Stacy figured it out. Stacy claims acting is his side hustle and he's actually a Cambridge scholar and multi-lingual. That's just not fair. My fav part was Demi. I'm a huge fan of hers and hope to see her live someday. She's oddly high on my list of divas to see live - probably the topmost followed closely by Katy Perry. Tara and I watched Demi on the Disney channel, then I blew off her pop music career, then she went into MMA so I tuned back in again and she started dating UFC middleweight champ Luke Rockhold, who I always hoped to meet because he's from Santa Cruz and his brother coached Tara's volleyball team in High School (she quit after her first year though) and although I get to know Nate (the brother) that never happened. Eh, y'all know me. I just wanted to meet Demi. Then she had major drug problems and survived like a champ, so she still has my respect too, even more so than multilingual Crawley.
But back to the Eurovision - I wish I knew the bands better for the cameos. The musical numbers were awesome because it was hard to tell what was farce and what was real. Also the dig at Americans was hilarious. The group sing along at the party was awesome fun. Wiki tells me this was supposed to be released in conjunction with Eurovision, but that was cancelled due to the pandemic, so it went to Netflix.
No sword fights (unless you count elf swords). Only DOOM recommended for those that have already seen it, not for the rest of you. Also for DOOM Demi fans but I suspect I'm again, alone, the only one.
It was nice to park our brains outside and just enjoy some light viewing for a change.
