A 7, but only because ABBA is in it

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2009)

Based on the famous, big hit, stage musical written by two gals from ABBA, the plot follows a young girl who is going to be married in a Greek island, where she lives. She never knew her father so, based in an old diary of her mother (Meryl Streep), she send letters to three possible men.
The plot is not an important thing, most of all because if the music of ABBA weren't here, the movie would be just a mess. Though the plot is more than stupid, you got a nice interpretations from the cast (In some level) but the film get even the "camp" category in every form you'll see (The acting can be good but that doesn't care when the characters don't think about themselves). Even, the Greek island is beautiful, and songs like DANCING QUEEN, SUPERTROUPER, WATERLOO, OUR LAST SUMMER, LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME (Though this number have the most idiotic dance in a musical in a long, long time), CHIQUITITA, S.O.S and SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS (Though the beautiful THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC can be heard only in the end credits). For the rest, there's northing. I mean, NOTHING.
A camp movie musical with one of the best songs of ABBA (Even if my favorite HEAD OVER HEELS is not here). A 7, but only for the music (And the scenery).
