Eurovision plans – the first year since 1956 that the music contest won’t air – it isn’t entirely absent from 2020. Instead, it arrives in the form of Netflix’s original film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.Lars Erickssong (Will Ferrell) and Sigrit Ericksdottir (Rachel McAdams) have dreamt of representing Iceland at Eurovision since they were little kids.

Their music is considered laughable and they’re ridiculed by the town, and Lars’ own father Erick (Pierce Brosnan), but their determination doesn’t waver nonetheless; much to everyone’s surprise, they’re granted the opportunity to compete when Iceland’s other contenders are savagely murdered.

‘Eurovision Song Contest’: Will Ferrell & Rachel McAdams Belt Out A Feel-Goody, Moving ‘Story of Fire Saga’ [Review]

In 2005, filmmaker David Dobkin struck comedy gold with “Wedding Crashers,” an oafish, but hilarious bromantic buddy comedy—shades of Todd Phillips’ “Old School”— with some earnest notes of sweetness that has become something of a contemporary comedy classic (it celebrates its 15th anniversary this summer, please call us so we can do an Oral history of this masterpiece, David). Dobkins veered much too far into the dunderheaded, toxic side of bro-ish masculine comedy in 2011’s coarse “The Change-Up,” but for his latest effort, his first feature and comedy since then, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,” the filmmaker finds a sweet spot of zany comedy that lays on the sentimental feel-goodery rather thick.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Review: Will Ferrell's Netflix Comedy Is Sweet Music

Will Ferrell, star, co-producer, and co-writer of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, took the appropriate "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach.This extremely amiable direct-to-Netflix music competition film, co-written by Andrew Steele and directed by David Dobkin, is impervious to criticism and impossible to dislike. One might say "nah, don't pause it," to a partner watching on the couch while racing to the restroom, but only because this film is so easygoing that getting hung up on missing two minutes seems against the point.Fire Saga's Lars is another classic Ferrell man-child, but the eager Icelandic singer-songwriter ditches some of the selfishness found in previous iterations.
