Complete Garbage

Rating: 1/10 (14 May 2019)

There's not much to say that hasn't been said, but I'll throw my two-cents worth in anyway. I love musicals, and by musicals I mean South Pacific, Damn Yankees, Porgy and Bess, etc. This pile of trash is NOT a musical. ABBA songs thrown randomly into a movie and sung by people who should never attempt to sing does not a musical make. The songs are supposed to have something to do with the story; but this story was garbage too. It should have been called "I'm a mindless, immature girl who idolizes my mother for being an addlepated tramp". I'll admit I'm not a fan of Meryl Streep, but watching her over-act and fumble her way through this was painful. Actually, watching everyone in this was painful; even the usually good actors failed miserably. The whole production came off as if done by toddlers; the script was awful, the story was awful, the camera work was awful, the acting, singing and dancing was awful. I bought the DVD because I don't really like going to movie theaters, and I chucked it into the Goodwill donation bag immediately after watching it. A complete waste of time and money.
