Mamma Mia! on DVD (2008)

4Tell [Highly rated reviewer] , 01/08/2008

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.

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....

Went to see this at the cinema last night. I know musicals are ment to be all singing all dancing, but they could of stopped for more then five seconds to try and do some acting. Streep was awfull trying to act half her age. dance routines seemed to be just thrown together and i've heard better singing at my local kareoke bar.

The only saving grace and the reason i have even given this piece of c**p any stars is Christine Baranski and Julie Walters comic performance's as streeps friend and the greek backing singers.

if you are not female or/and into musicals avoid this like the plague. super pooper not super tropper.
