Plot Summary:
|
Set on a colorful Greek holm, the machinate serves as a background for a cornucopia of ABBA songs. A brood mate about to be married discovers that any everyone of three men could be her shepherd. She invites all three to the wedding without telling her mother, Donna, who was once the lead singer of Donna and the Dynamos. In the meantime, Donna has invited her backup singers, Rosie and Tanya.

Mamma Mia!
StaffIs there anything Meryl Streep can't do? Mamma Mia! (*** out of four) is worth the ticket price just to see her belt it out, jump up and down on a bed, dance in platform shoes and slide down a banister. She not only can carry a tune, but her version of the overwrought The Winner Takes It All is surprisingly moving. Her chemistry with co-star Pierce Brosnan is palpable. Streep and the rest of the cast appear to be having the time of their lives. That's not to say everyone will like this movie. Since the '70s, the Swedish quartet ABBA and its frothy, sometimes insipid, pop tunes have drawn virulent detractors. But this "moviecal" is surprisingly enjoyable, whether or not you've seen the musical. The story is not Mamma Mia!'s strong suit. The tale of ...

Kenneth TuranCouldn't they have just let Mamma Mia! be Mamma Mia! ?
Even if the dictates of a profit-loving culture practically mandated the making of a film version of the ??ber-popular stage musical that has been seen by 30 million people in 170 cities worldwide, did they have to turn it into Mamma Mia!

Was it necessary for stage director Phyllida Lloyd and playwright Catherine Johnson, both new to feature film, to make the kind of rookie mistakes in transferring their creation to the screen that might limit this film's audience (not that anyone will notice) to the sizable group of the already converted?
Frankly, I wouldn't have thought I'd be part of that group, but I am. I sa...
Absolutely Brilliant !!!
This got a standing ovation in a packed cinama, so forget the cheese sleeaze press critics because this is a peach of a movie, absolutely superbly cast and brilliantly filmed, this is the ULTIMATE feel good movie to put you on a real high. I would definately recommend seeing this in the cinema, say in the evening when the place is nearly full so you get the full benefit of audience reaction. We managed to squeeze in the last 3 seats and had a whale of a time it took off at a pace and never let up, I was in tears, then laughing, then singing then clapping - as was the whole place. And then a standing ovation from a packed house... but dont leave, wait for the credits as you get a second blast of fun and song. One of the films of the year and feel good films of all time, superb can't ...
