POSITIVES…
Has a great cast from Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams, and Dan Stevens, who all looked like they were having fun embracing the comedy of it all.
While it’s a familiar story of underdog singers trying to win a singing competition, it’s still likeable, fun enough to watch, and there were some solid scenes all around.
Some of the running gags I thought were hilarious.
The song numbers are pretty entertaining to watch, and are one of the main highlights to watching this comedy… like “Ja Ja Ding Dong.” Play “Ja Ja Ding Dong!!!”
Pierce Brosnan. ‘nuff said.
There’s a certain plot point that I wanted to play out a certain way, I didn’t think it would, but at the same time I figured it would go there, but was still pleasantly surprised that they went there after all.
This movie is just silly fun, and it’s heart is in the right place. It either put a smile on my face or made me laugh out loud.
Fans of Eurovision should check this out!
NEGATIVES…
The humor can be pretty basic, or too broad, and sometimes the comedy just falls flat.
It’s predictably predictable. Expect the usual plot turns and reveals from a movie like this.
Doesn’t always maintain its fun comedic tone for certain set pieces, and just kinda drags at times, plus it definitely didn’t need to be 2 hours long.
P.S….
