Those who can't do...critique?

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2008)

I think this film is amazing. It's just all kinds of fun. Forget that Pierce Brosnan can't really sing (incidentally, the second time I saw this, and the numerous times I've listened to the soundtrack, he's kind of grown on me), and that the cinematography is horrid. It shouldn't matter. It's a fun movie with a fabulous cast of characters, and dazzling Greek scenery. For a great escapist film, "Mamma Mia" is the one to rent! I think everyone can relate to Sophie, wanting to know who her father is, thinking that's where her future lies. Or with Donna, whose past comes back to haunt her in the form of three flings from back in the day. But lucky for both of them, they each have two supportive best friends (who are carbon copies of each other. Donna=Sophie, Rosie/Tanya=Lisa/Ali), and for Donna, an entire Greek Chorus telling her what she wants is right in front of her face. It's a nice throwback to classic theater that way. Love this movie, no matter what people say!
