    Storyline

    • Trivia
      To prep for the film, Will Ferrell attended the 2018 The Eurovision Song Contest (2018) in Lisbon, Portugal as part of the Swedish delegation and was given access to follow the show from start to finish, including rehearsals.
    • Goofs
      The five biggest financial contributors to Eurovision go straight to the final without going through the semi-finals. These countries are Spain, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, the so called "Big Five". In the film, Spain and the UK sing in the semifinals, something that has never happened in the history of the festival. The result screen also shows all the Big 5, while in the real contest they would only be shown at the finals. Also, the host country has a guaranteed place in the final too. Since the contest was being held in Edinburgh, that means the UK would have been in the final anyway even if it wasn't already a member of the Big-5.

      In the 70's,there was no semi finals AT ALL !.

    Couldn't stop smiling at the happy madness of it all
    Admit I'm not a Will Ferrell fan at all, his movies are all about him, but in this movie, Rachel Adams and Dan Stevens are a revelation of singing and comic talent. SO many great faces from the Eurovision Song Contest as well as cast members from the Witcher, The Norsemen etc. I realised by the time of the Eurovision party singalong that I was laughing out loud. The costumes, the dancing, are all insanely inspired. And as an Edinburgh native, thank you for filming here in Edinburgh! As I frequently direct Americans to the nearest Starbucks, thanks for the laugh out loud asides. Now time to put on my Icelandic elf slippers from my second favourite country in the world, and watch it again.
