I LOVED THIS MOVIE. It was funny and heart-warming, and the visuals and the music were excellent! I have never seen the Eurovision Song Contest because I live in Canada, but that only meant that I didn't recognize the cameos by real contestants. And I'm not a Will Ferrell fan, so I was afraid the humour might be a little lowbrow for my taste (yes, I know I'm a snob), but I shouldn't have worried. My only quibbles are (1) Ferrell looked too old for the part and (2) I didn't think Pierce Brosnan's role was well-written.

Watch it with an open mind
9 June 2016
I came here to see if IMDb could suggest something similar to this. It's been about a year since I watched it and I still remember how good it was. I see other ratings range from 1 to 10, so there's obviously quite a difference of opinion. I think it's unfair that some reviewers gave it a low rating because they expected a straight-forward police procedural and got something else. My only quibble was that the teenagers seemed a little older than the story said, and apart from that I thought it was fabulous and unpredictable, and I was satisfied with the ending. I strongly recommend it. Watch with an open mind, and pay attention.
