I don't care what anyone says, we just finished watching Mama Mia and I loved it, just loved it.

Posted by Trish (aka Trisha) Dec 20 '08, 23:29

Any movie that leaves me smiling and laughing is a good movie. Who cares that Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Staarsgard can't sing, a lot of the cast was awesome. The most surprising voices were Meryl Streep's and Amanda Siegfried's--Christine Baransky has done musical theater forever so I knew she'd kick ass. I don't know whether to be happy or embarrassed that I knew almost every word to every song, what was the most fun was Crash singing along (he knows all the music too!) It's not the best movie ever and it has a lot of flaws, but it did what a movie is supposed to do, it made me happy. For that, it gets an "A".

- Americans are like that here, too. - Beryllium Dec 20, 23:42 6
  - we're only like that on vacation -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 21, 00:04
  - I wish Americans were like that here. It'd make work a lot more interesting. -- nm - the darcy Dec 20, 23:43 4
    - (I realize you probably don't work at subway any more ... but this is giving me hilarious mental images) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 23:44 3
      - Hee! Nope, Albertson's deli, but I will now treasure those images. -- nm - the darcy Dec 20, 23:45 2
        
        in fact, I'd goo so far as to say ... Subway's next ad campaign should feature Stellan Skarsgaard ordering ... a particularly specific sub. - Beryllium Dec 20, 23:58 1

You loved the original music. The movie was tone deaf cheeseball. Streep and Baransky were nearly as bad as Brosnan! -- nm - Max Dec 20, 23:33 2
- On the dvd there's even a sing-a-long mode with the words under the screen! - Trish Dec 20, 23:40 1
  - Part of the reason everyone loves ABBA is because their songs are so easy to sing, which makes it even more shameful that the cast couldn't sing them. -- nm - Max Dec 20, 23:49
... dang, I really missed the boat on getting it for Megan, then ... sounds like she might enjoy it too, based on that review -- nm - Beryllium Dec 20, 23:30 1
- It's just sweet, it's a musical fairy tale for grownups. - Trish Dec 20, 23:42
