I grew up with Abba's music and loved it. The music had an infectious quality that had you humming the songs.
I also grew up watching Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steel and loved him doing comedy. I also love Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Julie Walters.
I can't wait to see the film version and share the music and the movie with my girls.

Abba on Wikipedia
ABBA was a pop music group registered in Sweden in 1970. The band consisted of Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog. They topped the charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The name "ABBA" is an acronym formed from the first letters of each of the group members' given names (Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid), and the group took this name officially in late 1973.. At one time, Faltskog was married to Ulvaeus, and Andersson was married to Lyngstad, but both couples divorced. ABBA is considered as one of the greatest musical groups which entertained the world in the 20th century.
ABBA gained international popularity employing catchy song hooks, simple lyrics, and a Wall of Sound achieved by overdubbing the female singers' voices in multiple harmonies. As their popularity grew, they were sought after to tour Europe, Australia, and North America, drawing crowds of ardent fans, notably in Australia. Touring became a contentious issue, being particularly unpopular with Faltskog, but they continued to release...
