Review

Sight and Sound, 09/01/2008, p.68, "Playful exuberance is the order of the day....['Waterloo'] lures you into a glorious world of upbeat melodies, glitter, sequins and flares, and leaves you dancing out of the cinema."

Empire, 09/01/2008, p.64, 3 stars out of 5 -- "There's a joyous 'Dancing Queen'....It's full of super troupers and smiles."

USA Today, 07/18/2008, 3 stars out of 4 -- "[Streep's] chemistry with co-star Pierce Brosnan is palpable. Streep and the rest of the cast appear to be having the time of their lives."

Premiere, 07/14/2008, "Set on a stunning Grecian isle, MAMMA MIA! is a frenzied farce....Get ready to dust off those old ABBA discs on vinyl. Because afterwards, you'll want to keep this party going..."

Product Notes

MAMMA MIA became a Broadway smash when it hit Broadway back in 2001. With a story framed around the music of the Swedish pop band Abba, crowds loved its raucous, dance party vibe. Now it comes to the silver screen, with some truly delightful performances from the likes of Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. It is the story of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) a young woman living on a picturesque Greek island with her mother, Donna (Streep.) Together, Donna and Sophie run a ramshackle island inn, and they are in the midst of preparing for Sophie's wedding. As the wedding approaches, Sophie becomes troubled by the fact that she has never known her father. She was the result of one of her mother's summer flings, and her mother has never revealed her father's identity. When Sophie stumbles upon her mother's diary, she learns that there are three possible men who could be her dad. Without telling her mother, she invites all three to her wedding. When Harry (Colin Firth), Sam (Brosnan), and Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) all arrive at the same time, Donna is of course shocked and overwhelmed by seeing her old lovers again after such a long time. She turns to her two best friends, Tanya (Christine Baranaki) and Rosie (Julia Walters), for their support, and vows to just get through the wedding and weekend. Meanwhile, Sophie spends time with each man, determined to learn the truth.

Major hijinks and confusion ensues, all amidst the utterly romance scenery, and the rather irresistible, swelling love ballads. Streep has a lovely singing voice, and to watch her throw herself into this whimsical role is truly a delight. She looks like she is having a ball, and it is hard not to shimmy along with her. Baranski reliably delivers an over-the-top showstopper, and Brosnan's tender singing voice makes his character all the more touching. The film strives to be a jubilant celebration of mother/daughter relationships and the love between good friends, and no matter how cheesy some may find Abba, it is hard to resist its many charms.

Oh my. This film will surely rival "The Tomato That Attacked Pitsburgh" as the worst movie in the history of filmdom. A total and complete destruction of ABBAs music must be extremely humiliating to the group. Voices which attempted to sing? No, one could not relate these voices to professional singers. Acting? Wow, the tomatoes in the zz sci-fi flick were much better at acting! Very disjointed, very assinine in many parts and extraneous filler replaced the effort required to expand the scenes. All in all, a very amatuerish job by cast, writers, directors, et. al. The only pros there were the camera crew and the grips. One star is way too generous for this flop as only the scenery helped it out and precious too little of that. Take your 20 bucks, grab a friend and head for some taco shack. At least you will feel you got your moneys worth. QIKD
