Will Ferrell’s Best Comedy in Years Is Here

Sincerity is the key to every great Will Ferrell comedy. His classics, such as Anchorman: Theand , are surreal satires of American arrogance. But they work because the title characters are earnest creations—buffoons invested with the genuine belief that what they’re doing is special. That makes Ferrell an ideal match for a movie about the Eurovision Song Contest, the international competition of soaring ballads and thunderous pop jams that has long straddled the line between camp ridiculousness and charming authenticity.
