God it's great to feel happy coming out of the theater

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2008)

Loved it Loved it Loved it. Yes there are a few small stumbles but I can't remember the last time I saw a movie at the theater 3 times! Meryl is amazing and I give Pierce props, he knows he's not a singer and he still did it and he gave it his all you can tell and it was not that bad. What I found the most enduring is the fact that none of the players are professional singers, who needs more American Idol wannabe's remember "From Justin to Kelly" yuck now that is a horrible movie. The not perfect singing made the characters more realistic and I found myself loving their faults as well as their charms. Is it fluffy? of course it is, so was the play but the movie is much better and tells the story better in my humble opinion. If you want to take a mental vacation to Greece and disconnect from this troubled world then leave your reality behind and enjoy 2 hours of what the world should be.
