"The more you know and like Eurovision, the funnier you’ll find the send-ups of typical Eurovision production numbers and hosts. But even those who are not into Eurovision will have fun at this infectious and enjoyable movie. Watching Cupcakes is like taking an extravagant 90-minute vacation from reality, and who couldn’t use a vacation these days?" Jerusalem Post
