45 minute story drawn to almost two hours

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2008)

The film covers a woman's wedding at her mother's modest resort on a Greek island (the movie has nothing to do with Italy, as the title suggests. "Mamma Mia" is merely an Abba song) She's never known her father so she read a journal written by her mother and figured her father was one of three men. So, she invited all three men in the hope of ultimately being given away by her father. (a DNA test would have been conclusive, but it was never considered.
Presumably the film is to represent the present (2008, but there is no indication by cars, etc.) But her three possible fathers are each pictured with long hair. If that was the case, they lived in the sixties and are now over sixty years old, but none of them has gray hair or baldness or looks that age.
Numerous Abba songs occurred throughout the film and each presentation was an irritating interruption. However, the characters were not "Hollywood gorgeous" so I enjoyed watching even though I realized I would never again see the film.
