As members of the british public will know, the musical is a genre that has died out over the last few years. Yes, we've had high school musical and that was good for the kids. But what about us adults? Anything since saturday night fever worth watching? That debate is for another time, but this film brings back the musical genre, in full Abba style.

From start to finish this film does not disappoint with the fantastic toe-tapping, karaoke dream pop songs, to the storyline, which without being the main focus of attention sometimes, fits lovely into the songs. Anyone who has seen the stage show, will have walked away playing all the songs over and over in their head and be humming them all the way home. The film does exactly the same. From the opening of I have a dream, to Thank you for the music running over the credits, you almost feel like you have been watching an abba concert, your voice is sore.

Even if you are not an abba fan, or generally into musicals, i can promise you that this is not just sappy, american preppy style musical, its up to date about real issues. This blu-ray version brings out the spectacular scenary of the greek setting, while the vivid sounds add the to drama of the music. By the end of the film, you will be sad it is over, thinking "I was just getting into the dancing".

You will not be disappointed by this fantastic adaptation of the stage show. If i'm wrong, i'll send out an sos!
