BAD.. its ok if you like a typical, nothing special musical... during songs people appear out of no where dancing and singing.. extreamly OTT... The acting is quite bad too be quite honest, meryl streep as a raving lunatic, she is better then that!!!
Rest of the cast are wooden..
Julie walters isnt really that funny. No plot, just abba songs. which would be great to people who LOVE abba. if you do not then dont bother!!
It doesn't get any better..........

Mamma Mia! The Movie + Meryl Streep (best actress ever) = Best film ever.
Best film I have ever seen, watched it 3 times and could of quite happily sat through it another 10 times! Meryl Streep continues to amaze, and remind us why she is the best actress in the world. Supporting cast is all fantastic too, especially Julie Walters.
If you do one thing this year make sure you go and see this.
Can't wait for the DVD.
1-2 stars. Worth a look if your an excitable female.

MY RATING: 1/2 STARS.
Worth a watch if you an excitable female or love abba!
Mamma Mia is a musical that is different, it has Abba songs, tho this is all that is good about the film. Yes, the songs used are great and iconic but they are not well sung and the acting is wooden.
The opening scene is good but is like the most you see of a plot (like the peak of an action film but at the beginning) after that initial 20 minutes things go down hill. The lack of plot really shows and abba songs are thrown in everywhere and any where.
The plot is thin. The abba songs are all that keeps this going which would please Abba fans and older women, but not any one with a high movie standered. This is a low movie standered.
