Oh No, Oh No, Oh No!!

Rating: 1/10 (3 November 2008)

What a shame to go spoil ABBA in such a manner. Their songs are fantastic and the Musical version I saw was good and nostalgic of the 70s. Good singers who knew how to follow the lyrics. But the movie!! Oh horror! The cast is a complete put off. The 'sweet and seventeen' girl looks more suitable to be bug-eyed victim No.1 of any chainsaw massacre; Pierce Brosnan exaggerates as usual and should definitely not sing; and why, why, WHY on earth choose Meryl Streep??!!! Her 'singing' could wake up the dead. It is impossible to believe that a character looking like that could ever have attracted, let alone, slept with 3 guys! Colin Firth looked awkward and out of place. Stellan looked to be trying something new and to fit in. (Appreciated the Scandinavian presence!) Better get the DVDs of ABBA, go see the Musical. That's what is worth seeing and hearing.
