Mamma Mia Review

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2019)

I've watched many musicals throughout my lifetime , and I remember never liking any. The dances are too choreographed and make the film seem so unrealistic , characters that break out into songs at the weirdest moments , and a movie filled with terrible music that I just want to turn off. Im 15 and at this point of my life all my friends and schoolmates , were or are still at some point in their lives , obsessed with highschool musical. Me though , I hate it , always have. The newest all the rage musical , The Greatest Showman , that everyone was so head of heels for , I've watched it , and I couldn't tell you what everyone was so crazy about this movie for.
But I have never loved something quite like "Mamma Mia". I've watched this film over 6 times and each time I love it more. When character bust in song , I'm likely to bust into song too. With an amazing soundtrack and thrilling storyline is a need to see for musical romance lovers everywhere.
Donna, an independent hotelier in the Greek islands, is preparing for her daughter's wedding with the help of two old friends. Meanwhile Sophie, the spirited bride, and daughter of Donna , has a plan. She secretly invites three men from her mother's past in hope of meeting her real father and having him escort her down the aisle on her big day. When the three men arrive on the island and Sophie not sure what to do next , will put the audience through a thrilling roller coaster. WIll sophie ever find her biological father? And who will walk her down the aisle on her big day?
The Mamma Mia movie soundtrack , being a major success, peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and was a certified platinum. It also topped the U.S. Billboard Top Soundtracks Chart. The album was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. Over all the music in this film just makes you want to dance and sing. When Sophie is explaining to her friends that she invited three potential dad candidates through the song , "honey , honey" , not only is this song upbeat and makes one want to dance and sing but , through this song sophie completely tells her friends what she's done.
This thrilling storyline and great soundtrack will leave you begging for more-
Overall , I would recommend this movie for all musical lovers or, to watch on a movie date with mom.
