Cutesy

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2018)

The overall IMDB rating for this film is accurate and earned. It's just OK. The music and cinematography, along with costuming are all lovely, and I think they take center stage. The acting isn't that great, and I was disappointed in Amanda Seyfried, who seemed at times like she couldn't take herself seriously. The film in its entirety drones on too long for its plot/theme. The most irritating thing for me is the main struggle for Sophie, that she doesn't know who her Dad is and "boo-hoo" he can't come to her wedding. I just didn't feel enough sympathy for this trivial "problem" as the script or acting didn't garner it, and lots of people deal with the same thing or worse. When she fights with her mother and chastises her for it, I just got a bratty vibe and it was unappealing at most. Otherwise, cutesy is the best word I can use for it.
