Good, not great

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2012)

Mamma Mia is an entertaining and touching movie but it was nothing special.
I think that this movie was specially made for the fans of ABBA and I'm sure they would appreciate this film much more than I did.The element I most liked from this movie is Amanda Seyfried's performance.This young actress shows a lot of presence and charisma and,by my point of view,she makes this movie to look better than what it really is.I hope to see Seyfried in more leading roles.The rest of the cast does not stand out too much.Meryl Streep,Pierce Brosnan,Stellan Skarsgard and the great Colin Firth are correct but they do not have too much to do.The musical parts are well filmed and the film never gets boring.On the negative sight,I think this film needed some more energy and,to me,it resulted a nice but forgettable experience.I think I'm not the most appropriate person to make a critic of this movie because,as I said,I'm not a fan of ABBA and I think that,if I was,I suppose I would have appreciated this movie more.If you are in the same situation as me,I can recommend you Mamma Mia as a good experience but with the warning that the film is nothing special.
