Mamma Mia - How Can You Resist it?

Mamma Mia was the much anticipated summer film of 2008. It is based on the very popular West End and Broadway Musical, Mamma Mia. Mamma Mia originally was a song released in 1975 by the Swedish group, ABBA. It became a smash hit for the summer.

The music (soundtrack) for the movie is great. It ended up being one of the top albums for the summer. My daughters have become part of a new generation of ABBA fans. They like it so much that they took it with them to share with Grandma.

The countdown is on to the release of the DVD on December 16, 2008, just in time for Christmas. Pre-order your copy now.

The basic plot of Mamma Mia is simple. There is a mother, a daughter and three possible fathers.

Meryl Streep portrays an independent, single mother and owner of a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island. Her spirited daughter (Amanda Seyfried) whom she's raised alone is about to be married. But unknown to the mother, the young bride has secretly invited three men from her mom's past, one of whom is the girl's biological father.

Over the period of a day we witness new love blooming, old romances rekindling in this engaging and enchanting musical based on the music of ABBA that has audiences up dancing in their seats.

Meryl Streep on Being Uplifted by Mamma Mia!

This interview from Hollywood Elsewhere describes how Meryl Streep was uplifed by experiencing Mamma Mia on Broadway soon after September 11, 2001.
    It was seven years ago and Streep "was in a bit of a pickle," Jeffries writes. "She had to dream up an excursion for some friends of Louisa, the youngest of her four children by husband Don Gummer, the sculptor to whom she has been married for the past 30 years. Only one problem: it was October 2001 in Manhattan.

    "'Everybody was really dimmed spiritually after 9/11,' Streep relates. 'I thought, 'What am I going to do with the kids?' So I took all these 10-year-olds to see a matinee of Mamma Mia!. They walked in and they sat there with their heads in their hands. Dimmed is the word. They were sad all the time, you know?

    "'The first part was really wordy, and then 'Dancing Queen' started up. And for the rest of the show they were dancing on their chairs and they were so, so happy. We all went out of the theatre floating on the air. I thought, 'What a gift to New York right now!' She sent a thank you letter to the cast."
That Thank you note ultimately lead to her getting the lead role of Donna in the movie version.

Mamma Mia - The Music

The Music of Mamma Mia, which is the music of ABBA has an infectious quality that gets under your skin and has you humming the tunes soon after hearing them. (I have been hearing Mamma Mia almost continuously in my head since working on this lens.)

ABBA, a foursome from Sweden, topped the charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980's, releasing hit after catchy hit, each one instantly recognizable, infectious, and irresistible.

Nearly a quarter of a century later, these memorable songs gave birth to the blockbuster musical MAMMA MIA!
