Mamma Mia! What a great film.

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2008)

Mamma Mia!What a great film.The film has everything ranging from a great setting,great casting,singing and dancing,storyline,etc.This film is not about the group ABBA in a biopic form but is about fictional characters who come together through use of ABBA songs.The film is about the story of a girl by the name of Sophie Sheridan(Amanda Seyfried from Mean Girls) who lives with her mother Donna(Meryl Streep) who runs a hotel on a small Greek island.Sophie wants to marry Sky(newcomer Dominic Cooper) and her father to be present;the problem is that Sophie doesn't know who her father is but she finds three men who could possibly be her father,Sam Carmichael(Pierce Brosnan) who is an American architect,Harry Bright(Colin Firth) who is a British banker and Bill Anderson(Stellan Skarsgard) who is a Swedish novelist.Sophie then invites them all to the wedding.Christine Baranski and Julie Walters join the fun as two of Donna's longtime friends.The film was a blast and in my opinion should at least be nominated for several Oscars such as Best Actress-Meryl Streep,Best Picture,etc.Also worth a mention is Pierce Brosnan's singing;the critics hated his singing but I thought he was good enough for my standards as he at least gave it a go.Overall,a fun and enjoyable film.
