Singing is an art too

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2008)

To begin with they should have fired the casting directors here. Is it too much to find a cast that is able to act (though mostly on that point it's okay) but also to sing!!! I wonder how ABBA could have given permission for this horror for the ears. Especially Pierce Brosnan is off key. This is also the worst I've ever seen of Meryl Streep, someone else should have been better. But Amanda Seyfried is charming and a reasonable singer and the Dynamos are hilarious by times. And it's exactly this kind of enthusiasm that saves the movie. Don't complain and go with the flow of enthusiasm on screen and the great ABBA melodies. Then you will have a fun night. Nothing more, but surely nothing less.
