Advantages: Really funny, slapstick, harmless fun
Disadvantages: Dragged a bit, not great singing

Stars - Meryl Streep Pierce Brosnan Colin Firth Good points - Harmless cheerful fun Bad points - Far too much ABBA for me! My ears are ringing I was a bit weary of this film but both my mother and my aunt were extremely excited about this film so I thought I would go along with them to see what the fuss was about. I have to admit this film was really funny, if not a bit ridiculous and I did enjoy it. However Im in my 20s so missed the whole Abba ...
...a bit much and was slightly relieved when it was over. Julie Walters is the best thing about this whole film though, she is fantastic. The singing wasnt up to scratch to me. None of these people would have made it on the west end. HOWEVER I think those who remember Abba from the first time round will love this. ... Read review

...to the cinema to see Mamma Mia with my mother-in-law (while my husband, son and youngest daughter saw Hancock). I saw the stage version of Mamma Mia in January this year and thought it was brilliant. I'm also a big Abba fan and have been for about thirty years, so I'm in the ideal demographic for this movie. The cinema was almost full and those seeing Mamma Mia were admittedly mainly women, but from the elderly down to young kids. There was a bit ...

Advantages: Hilarious - didn't take itself seriously - great songs
Disadvantages: Pierce Brosnan can't sing.

Went to see this film at the cinema with a group of friends from work, and the general consenus was that you either loved it or hated it. In the most part, those in the hating catergory didn't realise it was a musical, so a little warning if you are planning on seeing it and will be offended by the characters bursting into song at the drop of a hat! It wasn't technically good, the cast aren't trained in musical theatre, and it shows (particularly ...
...was full of fantasic people who could all sing and dance, but weren't well known, it wouldn't have been so entertaining. I've never seen Mama Mia the musical at a theatre, so wasn't familiar with the plot, but as musicals go, it was a quite interesting. A young girl is getting married, and decides to try and find out who her father is to invite him. She reads her mum's diary from the year she was born and finds three potential dads. They all arrive, ... Read review
