Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Review: Will Ferrell's Netflix Comedy Is Sweet Music
Will Ferrell, star, co-producer, and co-writer of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, took the appropriate "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach.This extremely amiable direct-to-Netflix music competition film, co-written by Andrew Steele and directed by David Dobkin, is impervious to criticism and impossible to dislike. One might say "nah, don't pause it," to a partner watching on the couch while racing to the restroom, but only because this film is so easygoing that getting hung up on missing two minutes seems against the point.Fire Saga's Lars is another classic Ferrell man-child, but the eager Icelandic singer-songwriter ditches some of the selfishness found in previous iterations.
