A bit like watching your grandma get drunk at a wedding trying to get it on with all the young men

Rating: 2/10 (22 June 2009)

This film is the biggest UK box office success of all time. Forget Star Wars, forget Jaws, forget Titanic. This is the one. On that basis, i had to see for myself what all the fuss was for. I have to say i was amazed at how shoddy and painful this film was. It's a bit like watching your grandma drunk at a wedding trying to get it on with all the young men on the dancefloor. Im sure if you are female and fall in to the age category of 45-66 then you would find this film endearing but for everyone else its like pulling teeth. Even the music is badly reproduced and even though the actors sing in tune, they do nothing with the songs that makes you sit up and take notice. I was heavily disappointed with Mamma Mia,it felt forced and had nothing other than a great location to recommend it to anyone.
