Critics Consensus

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga contains inspired ingredients and laugh-out-loud moments, but they're outnumbered by the flat stretches in this overlong comedy.

3/5

It's exactly as silly and outlandish as it needs to be, while still paying sincere respect to one of Europe's great cultural quirks.

Not a film so much as two hours of lump-free, vaguely film-like audiovisual paste.

4/5

Dobkin's film is impressively self-aware and hugely respectful of its subject. Expect hilarity, high camp and the usual Ferrell silliness.

Fire Saga... is a mean-spirited, mercilessly unfunny, and aggressively awful film about punching down.

Full of original bops and gorgeous scenery, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is sweet and uplifting and everything Pitch Perfect 3 wished it could’ve been.

3/5

Much like the contest itself, one might go into the film full of scorn and scepticism. However it is nigh-on impossible not to be swept up in the sheer enthusiasm it has for its subject.

How can anyone not like this movie?? Sure, it has a lot of silly humor but it's also very heartwarming with great music and hilarious characters. If you're in the mood for a very funny movie with a unique story, you will love it!! Don't listen to the negative nellies, if you don't find this movie both funny and incredibly endearing, you have absolutely no sense of humor and probably lacking a pulse. If you've never heard of EuroVision Song Contest, you will learn a lot (I did, never knew it existed! It's sorta kinda like American Idol but the winning band is judged on the song they submit & play). Watch it, you will love it!!!

This shown is exactly what it claims to be: a fun, silly jaunt into Eurovision through a comedic lens. Catchy music, lots of great cameos and some Scandinavian joy. Love this movie as a comfort rewatch.
