Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2008)

Having seen the play on Broadway made me anxious to see this movie adaptation. God, what a waste of good material and great songs. It is hard to pick the worst elements of this mish-mash of a motion picture, because everything is. The songs come out of nowhere. The directing reminded me of a third-rate school movie - the scenes are not connected and nothing makes any sense. And now Meryl Streep ? What is this Oscar buzz I hear about her ? Her acting is pathetic and she just can't sing. Why doesn't she shut her mouth up ? It could do everybody a big favour. She is an embarrassment to watch - the same actress of "Sophie's Choice" plays "Mamma Mia".
