Painful to the mind

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2009)

I like Abba but couldn't stand the singing,
Why the hell didn't they voice over the original version ?
This must be a rhetorical question : "Just to prevent Agnetha and Anni-Frid from getting any cent."
How generous !
Next the plot : It is about a bunch of silly British people that colonize (is there any other word for people that invade other countries to bring their despicable habits and ignore the locals) a beautiful Greek island Without even trying to speak a word of Greek, they manage an hotel for British tourists. (hope the credit crunch ruined them).
Go to Benidorm (Spain) and meet those morons and see how they behave there.
For me it was simply painful, I had to leave the theater, my wife stayed and told me that the audience was clapping during the credits. (Expectations are quite low these times.)
I think the only thing that made the success of this movie is Abba music. A computer generated musical with chimpanzees singing Abba would have succeeded as well.
If you like Abba, watch Priscilla... the movie is much better.
