Mama Mia!
I had the pleasure of seeing Mama Mia! when it was in the movie theater here and currently I have the DVD. I think its a great movie, but then again I am a sucker for musicals in general. I thing that you must know is that once you see the movie, you will have a problem keeping the music out of your head as its rather contagious to say the least. The music is Abba Songs so they have a way of creeping up into your head without notice. If you want a feel good movie, this may be the movie for you.

The Movie
Sophia Mails Off Her Letters

Here you see that Sophia is in a boat going toward land. This is where she mails off her wedding invitations to Sam, Bill, and Harry. All of her life she had no idea who her father was and she hoped by seeing the three that she would know them when she sees them. I can actually relate to Sophia's character because I have no idea who my father is either. The only thing is that I have never ran into the dilemma that Sophie ran into though.
The Diary
Honey, Honey

This is where Sophie explains to her friends whom are also her bridesmaids for her wedding how she found her mother's old diary. She started reading passages of her mother's diary. You just know when kids regardless of age how they can have fun with a diary and that is exactly what she was doing with her friends. With this, she points out with the passages who could be her father as the three had been with her mother close together.
Donna

This happens right after the Diary Scene. The girls were being giddy with the diary and Donna says something about how much fun it was when she was younger.
The Guys Miss the Ferry

So Sam and Harry miss the Ferry but thats usually the nature of movies to make things interesting in the first place. If it were not for Bill and his boat, they would not have *made it to the island until Monday.Little did they all know that they were all there for the same exact reason; a wedding that they all were invited to. Sophia had invited them but when she had sent out the invitations, she pretended that her mother sent them. Man was her mother going to freak when she finds out that these three were on the island and that they were all invited to a wedding of Sophia's.
Who is Your Dad?

This is where Sophie's friends ask her who her dad is and Sophie explains that she does not know and all of them will be coming. She never dreamed in a million years that they all would accept but they did.
Rosy and Tanya

This is where Tanya and Rosy managed to make it onto the island on the Ferry that Sam and Harry missed.
The Villa

This is where all three had arrived at the Villa. Sky greets them, Sky is Sophie's fiance.
Nothing Works
Money, Money

This is where Donna complains to Tanya and Rosy that nothing works.
The Fathers Arrive at the Villa

This is where Sophia meets all three of her potential fathers. They had no idea that she sent them the invites but not her mother until she tells that after the detour she took them to the old goat house. As you watch the movie, you will see that Sophia is so much like her mother.
Can We See Donna Now?

Sophie Explains everything to them about how she sent the invites and not her mother. She wanted them at her wedding.

Father
Lay All Your Love On Me

This is where Sophie asks Sky about how she has told him how she wanted to find her father and he explains that she doesn't need one, but still Sophie wants to know who her father is. Most people growing up know what it is like to have a father but still for people regardless of having people around, there is still a void when it comes to not knowing who your father is. You want to know who he is. You want answers regardless of if you grew up fine with plenty of role models or not. Its the one answer you want to know. Who is your father?

The Ending

Water sprays all over everyone when some rocks break. It does end the movie with Sophie and Sky leaving the island. Everytime I watch the movie, I see something that I had missed earlier.

- I'm not all progressive rock and heavy metal, I enjoy the music of Abba, too. I would probably also enjoy this movie.
