Worst movie since remake of Lost Horizon

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2008)

One would like to say something good about this film, since it has done so well on the stage. But this travesty of a musical is about as bad as it can be. The casting is lame. The film editing is deplorable. Pierce Brosnan cannot carry a tune in a water bucket. Given their appearance, none of the men could possibly be the girl's father. Halfway through, I was wishing I was somewhere else and hoping the camera would malfunction. Meryl Streep, a fine actress, should fire her agent for getting her into this mess. There is just no continuity in the story, and some of the ABBA songs don't even fit the situations that have been contrived to squeeze them into the production. Buy the soundtrack if you must have something of this to remember.
