Find your inner dancing queen

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2008)

When you go watch "Mamma Mia!" you are watching a musical with lots of ABBA-tracks, dancing people and a lot of sunshine. Though it hasn't got a single clue of intelligent plot, it is a sweet, overacted but often hilarious, feel good film.
The actors are performing their own songs, and almost all of them manage to pull it off extremely well; especially Meryl Streep is a pleasant surprise and sings with a beautiful voice like she has never done anything else, so does Amanda Sheyfried. What about the men? Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård do okay, but Pierce Brosnan definitely needs additional singing lessons  let's be honest, he sings awful (I have never heard such a dreadful edition of "S.O.S" in my entire life), he even manages to be worse than Richard Gere in "Chicago". Instead he plays his character sublime as always. So do Firth and Skarsgård.
Let's face it, "Mamma Mia!" is a blast. So full of energy, sunshine, smiling and laughs that you can't do anything than enjoy it. So park your brain in the wardrobe and find your inner dancing queen. I guarantee that "Mamma Mia!" will make you smile and laugh, so enjoy the wonderful 70'sh ABBA music and have a tremendous time!
