If you are an Abba purist, then this is probably not the film for you, but you are missing a great film

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2008)

Living in Kefalonia Greece,we saw the film a couple of weeks ago in an indoor cinema here. The Greeks - who are always on GTM (Greek maybe time) were still pouring in at 10pm, film was due to start at 945, but of course it didn't. Hard white plastic chairs, Jasmine from the perimeter wall tickling our faces - but we really didn't care,as we just got swept along with the film. We got the impression that the cast enjoyed making it as much as we enjoyed watching it, a real "fun film"
Meryl Streep. Julie Walters, Colin Firth, and of course the delectable Pierce Brosnan can, as far as I am concerned do no wrong. The singing was excellent, and whilst Pierce Brosnan would be the first to admit,"he's no singer" but he made a pretty good noise!! and is to be commended for his efforts, he could "sing" to me anytime.
I would urge anyone who wants to watch a film with a real "feel good factor" to see it. I am of the older generation who remember Waterloo etc, and always enjoyed ABBA, don't be a purist and miss one of the best films for years, enjoy and then come home and play ABBA GOLD.
