A cheesy tribute

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2010)

Yes this film isn't the best you'll ever see in your life and yes the singing isn't all that hot but if you see through all that you will find a mildly amusing and entertaining film.
The pantomime style acting grates a little but the sight of Julie Walters, Colin Firth and former James Bond Pierce Brosnan all having fun as the film progresses makes us an audience forget the films flaws and just sit back and enjoy the film.
The ABBA songs link the piece together and are well chosen. Musicals aren't for everyone but everyone has a secret love for ABBA so the two are linked.There are some great musical numbers that look like they have been lifted straight out of Broadway.
A great stand alone film that captured the publics affections when it was released. I just hope that the temptation to make a half baked sequel is not too strong.
