Eytan Fox's feelgood musical comedy treads little new ground on the dancefloor, but is no less enjoyable for it. The story centres on a group of friends gathered in theTel Aviv apartment of Ofer (Ofer Shechter) to watch Universong, a Eurovision parody. Despite an attempt at enthusiasm with booze, bunting (of sorts) and a camp singalong, it's "un point" to Israel (British audiences will relate). They break into a spontaneously made-up song to cheer themselves up, and a mobile phone recording makes its way to the show's judges, they become Israel's next official entry. If you're a fan of the genre, you'll know how the find-your-own-voice melody goes – and ends – and you shouldn't lament the lack of complex character development too much. With a big handful of Almodóvar thrown into Cupcake's mixing bowl, and input from the Scissor Sisters' Babydaddy, it will surely find its natural audience.
