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.

One of the funniest comedies and heartwarming, original stories to come out in the past few years.

This is a purely fun movie to watch. I don't like musicals, but WOW, the songs are great and the story is just fun. This is something to just enjoy. The plot is fine, the acting is fine except for Rachel McAdams. She is Amazing and really carries this story. Wonderful, funny, silly, joyful movie with an inspiring soundtrack.

Sayang oras. Predictable at walang bago sa istilo ng comedy. Entertaining naman un mga kanta pero kinapos lang talaga sa kabuuan

I couldn't even finish it. It was tough to get past Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum's accents. The jokes didn't land and were a bit too repetitive of the same type of joke. At least the songs and singing were good.
