Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga 2020
This is a fun movie with a lot of humor. I don't know what's a good Icelandic accent but Rachel McAdams seems to have put a lot of attention in hers. Will Ferrell is a blast as his usual disco cheese loving self. Pierce Brosnan is an "extremely handsome" disappointed dad who probably fathered half the children in town.
