‘Eurovision Song Contest’: Will Ferrell & Rachel McAdams Belt Out A Feel-Goody, Moving ‘Story of Fire Saga’ [Review]

In 2005, filmmaker David Dobkin struck comedy gold with “Wedding Crashers,” an oafish, but hilarious bromantic buddy comedy—shades of Todd Phillips’ “Old School”— with some earnest notes of sweetness that has become something of a contemporary comedy classic (it celebrates its 15th anniversary this summer, please call us so we can do an Oral history of this masterpiece, David). Dobkins veered much too far into the dunderheaded, toxic side of bro-ish masculine comedy in 2011’s coarse “The Change-Up,” but for his latest effort, his first feature and comedy since then, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,” the filmmaker finds a sweet spot of zany comedy that lays on the sentimental feel-goodery rather thick.

‘Eurovision Song Contest’ Film Review: Will Ferrell as an Icelandic Wannabe Pop Star?

Also Read: Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams Humiliate Iceland in New Look at 'Eurovision' Parody (Video)But in the Ferrell canon, “Eurovision Song Contest” is a workmanlike, “Blades of Glory”-level effort, never as funny as you want it to be no matter how hard it tries or how silly its actors look.Director David Dobkin has ventured down this road before, successfully in “Wedding Crashers” and less so in “Fred Claus” and “Shanghai Knights.” (His best work is probably in drama, with 1998’s “Clay Pigeons” a particular standout.) But “Eurovision Song Contest” is too long, at more than two hours, and too dependent on making fun of a very particular kind of ultra-slick pop performance.We first see that kind of performance in a flashback to 1974,
