Take a chance and you'll be happy you did

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2008)

This is a musical, This a musical with all the songs of ABBA. Clearly this in not some deep drama with deep meaning. If you expect that you need to see another movie. The whole goal of a musical is to entertain and this film does that with ease. If you are looking operatic singers go to the opera. Most of the actors sing far better than I was expected, the only one who was truly bad was Pierce Bronson and he made up for it by being the perfect looking man. Meryl Streep and actor playing Sophie had great voices.
Another thing I like is that this film has clearly progressive values, Instead of the young leads ending up married, they give it time and she realize having a dad and a traditional family aren't needed to be happy. I loved all the sub plots and all the humour that was in this movie.
This is sure to be repeat watching.
