** As three of the biggest contributors[[note]]alongside France and Italy[[/note]], Germany, Spain and the UK would not be taking part in the semifinal; they would instead pass straight to the final. And the contest takes place in Edinburgh, so even if the "Big Five" didn't exist, you'd expect the UK to still get a free pass to the final being the host country.

(A few years after the movie was released, however, the 2024 edition ''did'' see the Big Five perform in the semi-finals with the other countries, but they retained their auto-qualifier status.)

*** Iceland uses the {{patronymic}} system; thus, surnames are formed by combining the name of the father, or sometimes the mother, with the ending -son (with men), -dottir (with women), or -bur (with gender-neutral people). Yet the last name of both Lars and his father is Ericksson'''g''', with an inexplicable extra "g" at the end.

* SeriesContinuityError: Lars and Sigrit appear to be somewhere around their mid-thirties, judging by the ages of their parents and the [[spoiler: fact that they are able to have a baby at the end of the film.]] However, they are also shown watching ABBA on TV in 1974 as children, which would imply that they are over 45. Further confusing the issue is the fact that the characters seem to be around the same age, but Will Ferrell looks the eleven years older than Rachel [=McAdams=] that he is.
