Utterly delicious

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2008)

I loved the film. Although I am not such a huge fan of Abba, the actors made the songs adorable. The island is amazingly beautiful, the characters are very funny and the plot is touching. Ah, and Pierce Brosnan does not need to sing well: his being on screen is more than enough. Meryl Streep is as good as it gets, as always. Such a contrast to her character in The Devil Wears Prada (she was also excellent there, but the differences between the characters do show how talented she is). Amanda Seyfried shines as the light in the island and sings very well too. Christine Baranski is surprisingly vigorous and so is Julie Waters. It is one of those films that make you feel light and fresh when you leave the theater. Don't miss it.
