After going to see this film at the cinema twice I decided that I wanted it for christmas on dvd so I was over the moon when I got it.
It is about a girl (Amanda Seyfried) who is getting married. She has never really known who her father is and after discovering her Mum's old diary invites three possible fathers to her wedding, without her mum (Meryl Streep) knowing. Her mum soon finds out though and it then follows the tale of her trying to find out which of the three is her father.
What I like about the film Mamma Mia is that it is fun packed full of singing and dancing and the cast are fantastic and there seems to be really good chemistry between them. Julie Walters is quite funny in it and Meryl Streep is quite good with the singing and all the cast play their roles really well. The only downside has to be Pierce Brosnan's signing as he's not prticularly good a hitting the notes.
This is the sort of film that is a garunteed to be a good laugh and a film you can stay in and watch with your friend or even if your having a bad day and need something to cheer you up you can be sure that mamma mia is the type of film you can watch and you will be cheered up by the end of it.
When watching the film you can be sure that you will be singing and dancing along with it and your be in the comfort of your own liiving room
I must say that Mamma Mia is a definate must buy and you can get it from from all the supermarkets and the music shop aswell.

Advantages: Feel-good fun, sure to be enjoyed by teenagers, twenty-somethings and even grand-parents! Disadvantages: Brosnan's singing? Actually it's an amusing highlight!
