Another brilliant musical, and with Meryl Streep!

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2015)

A great musical featuring Meryl Streep, what more could you possibly ask for out of a movie?!! All of the songs featured in Mamma Mia! are great, very catchy, and they make you want to jump up and dance along, and after all that IS a musicals job, to make you feel the music! And this one did exactly that, unlike say a piece of junk called Rocky Horror, but I've already reviewed that crap, so moving on. Meryl Streep carries this entire movie, I wasn't a big fan of Amanda Seyfried, i think the main poster should have Meryl on the front, because she's the star, not Amanda, she takes a BIG backseat to Meryl in this. Meryl just has so much charisma in her singing and dancing here! And i also loved Christina Baranski, favorite scene with her, "does your mother know?" She has a lot of energy in this movie! I really think Amanda was a poor casting choice though, she seemed pretty dull in my opinion. But thankfully Meryl and others stole most of the screen time! The set was beautiful, with the Greek islands, loved that! The ending was clever, I sorta expected it, but kinda not if that makes sense, all i'll say it it ended really happily and sweetly! 8/10 to a fun clever musical, mainly thanks to Mery Streep!
