Very disappointed - total "feel bad" factor

Rating: 2/10 (26 October 2008)

I heard some of the reviews and music, so off I went with wife and son to enjoy it. The ABBA music was really catchy and no-one mentioned "global warming," which was a real 'plus.' This was a film that accurately reflects what goes on in society: it contains liberal profanity and sexual innuendo, infidelity, fornication and homosexuality.
Why, oh why could the writer not have made a film that celebrated all this good music but enjoyed the decency of good relationships, happy endings and better language? I shall see nothing from this writer again.
This film is said to give one "a feel good factor," too. Well, I think it does, but only for those that indulge in such practices and who wish to justify their proclivities and feel they are not alone in their self indulgence. One feels less guilty about it by watching films such as this one.
The principal actors could have done better for themselves in a better film but sang as well as I would have expected them to - as actors. Why should they be considered poor?
Summarizing: so much hype, so little content and less enjoyment. PG? I wouldn't want my 18 year old to see this. He did come with us and his summary was, "Interesting music, (well, he's only 18,) but with a disappointing end and mostly boring."
