Mamma Mia!
The film adaptation of the massively popular Broadway musical, featuring an array of ABBA’s greatest hits, tells the story of 18-year-old Sophie (Amanda Seyfried). It’s almost her wedding day and she still doesn't know who her father is. It could be any of her mother’s (Meryl Streep) past suitors: Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill (Stellan Skarsgård) or Harry (Colin Firth). The only way for her to find out is to invite all three to her wedding to see what happens.
Includes all ABBA fan favourites: 'Super Trouper', 'Dancing Queen', 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', 'Thank You for the Music', 'Money Money Money', 'The Winner Takes It All', 'Voulez Vous', 'I Have A Dream' and 'SOS'.

Mamma Mia Here We Go Again
This is a great movie if you're an ABBA fan. I've been an ABBA fan since ABBA was invented. The movie is like a great accompaniment to the music. Sort of like nice chips with a good meal. All the characters are back, well, sort of. It's a simple, cheesy, warm-hearted, feelgood, all's well that end's well storyline. So if you want something gritty and...
Mamma mia, make it stop! For the love of God! Make it STOP!!!!!
"The horror... The horror..." Colonel Kurtz's last words in APOCOLYPSE NOW kept playing through my mind as I sat in abject horror and suffered the sheer mind-numbing banality of this Abbatastic torture. For this reviewer, hell is not a place of flames we descend to after we die. No. Hell is a cinema endlessly looping this rainbow of trite sh*te...
Absolutely loved it!

Merly Streep, hilarious acting, never to be forgotton ABBA songs and newcomer Anmanda Seyfried makes a flim to see again and again!
My title basically sums it all up. Merly Streep did brilliantly as usual. Who knew she could sing. But an amazingly powerful voice comes out of her. And the newcomer Amanda Seyfried (sort of newcomer anyway she was in Mean Girls) did a fantastic job of portraying the tomboyish curious character of Sophie. Her voice is incredible although she says she's not...

pressThis joyous frolic propelled and inspired by the timeless music of ABBA is a bit like Grease for the older set, with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan playing the leading roles. Based on the hit stage show Mamma Mia, it's an ambitious musical about secrets, love, friendship and is great escapism for all ages.

pressMeryl Streep, Julie Walters and Christine Baranski all turn in an energetic day's work. And as for the boys ... well, it's an old truism of musicals that you're better off casting actors who can sing a bit, rather than singers who can act a bit.

pressPerhaps we're looking for purer forms of escapism in these harsher economic times, but Mamma Mia! manages to hit just the right note with Abba song-and-dance routines, which will leave you humming 1970s disco tunes for days.
