Mamma Mia!
Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 160 cities and 8 languages around the world.
Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper join Streep in Mamma Mia - a celebration of a mother, a daughter and three possible fathers!
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Meryl Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends - practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski) - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own...
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.

Super Pooper
I'm sorry but a musical cast with people who cannot sing and cannot dance says 'disaster' to me.
Some say that this film is so cheesy bad it is brilliant. No! It is so bad it is BAD!
Even when Meryl Streep shows that she can sing a bit, she does it like a pub karoake singer, seeking to put too much emotion and meaning in to every single word.
The choreograhpy is appalling.
Yes, Abba music is wonderfully catchy. Yes, the music may bring back great memories for many watching. However, the film itself is just rubbish and I defy anyone to honestly say otherwise. -

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 recommend it highly enough It's the best fun I have ever had in a cinema with or without my clothes on....
