Mamma Mia - The Movie

Pure, delicious, fun! I haven't seen a movie with this much pure joy since Oklahoma! Makes me want to call all my girlfriends and have a dance party!

The Feel-Good Movie of The Summer 

I loved this movie! I saw it with 3 girlfriends and we all though it was delightful. I never knew Meryl Streep could sing (she blew me away with "The Winner Takes It All") and what a surprise to hear Pierce Brosnan! Decent vocal cords and a great butt! I did think he was a bit flat in the acting arena though. Not enough warmth for my taste but those eyes certainly make up for it!

The casting was a little strange in a few places. Donna (played by Meryl Streep) brought her two best friends to the Greek island where she has an inn. Christine Baranski was OK (if not a bit stiff) as the sexy, middle-aged diva being courted by a boy about the age of her son, but Julie Walters, who played the third in Donna's trio just didn't have the flair to pull off her part as a disco dynamo. Maybe it was the glasses or the too-short hair, or maybe the lackluster figure. I don't know. Maybe you'll like her better. She did have a showstopper with "Take a Chance On Me", though. The other casting oddity was Stellan Skarsgard. Seemed too old and didn't endear me much.
But Amanda Seyfried as Sophie was pure delight and Dominic Cooper as her fiance, Sky, well he could melt an iceburg with one glance. Hubba, baby!

All in all, a great, feel-good movie! Sing along, heck, get up and dance in your seat like I did - the audience loved it! We were still singing "Dancing Queen" in the restroom after it was over!
