Sweet rubbish

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2008)

Well, you didn't expect a masterpiece and neither did the creators. It's a very lame story indeed, interfiled by the classic ABBA songs.
Brosnan can't sing, Skarsgård can't sing, Firth is not so bad, but Meryl Streep is somewhat sensational. Her version of "The Winner takes it all" is better than the original and really rocks you.
OK, this is gonna sell and nobody said it was made for another purpose. That's honest. A true 110 minutes professional feel-good-movie, worth watching for Meryl Streep's performance. And the rather beautiful photo. People will listen to ABBA again. And go to the Greek archipelago. Just feeling good.
