She's actually lip-syncing! Molly Sandén, well-known among ESC-diehards for competing in Sweden's preselection contest Melodifestivalen, does her vocals for the songs.It wasn't great, but I had fun . I found it a very pleasant movie to pay half attention to in a lazy evening .
And Rachel McAdammas got some seriously great pipes on her, who knew .
That's one of my favorite movies so definitely going to check this one.
Oh shit, ive been bamboozled by movie magic again!She's actually lip-syncing! Molly Sandén, well-known among ESC-diehards for competing in Sweden's preselection contest Melodifestivalen, does her vocals for the songs.
I think this was intentional. The bad guy wasn't really a bad guy.One random odd after thought is that Dan steven's character, while been played as an antagonist, always came as much more sympathetic then Will ferrel's character .
Also, the greek singer is Assain creed's Kassandra voice actress, so thats cool .
This was the fear among a lot of the fandom, that it would mock fans/artists and lean heavily into negative stereotypes.I expected this to go in much harsher on the Eurovision Songcontest and mock the silliness. Felt like some jokes were left on the table but on the other hand it turned into a nice feel good movie about halfway through so maybe that wasn't actually that bad.
I have to admit, the scene where
the points are trickling in for Iceland got me teary eyed
Or the celebration of a subculture mostly ignored by western filmmakersThe whole movie felt more like an ad for Eurovision more than anything.
Same here lol
Seems like the creators are fans of the contest. Ferrel's wife is Swedish and got him hooked on it years ago.I was extremely sceptical about americans making a Eurovision movie but they actually captured the spirit of the show pretty well.
That was really enjoyable overall and filled part of the void left due to the cancelled contest this year.
Just like Eurovision itself it's charming garbage. It really gave me that Eurovision feeling.
It is now...
