The "winner" produced this movie, the losers paid to watch it

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2014)

I can't believe this made as much of a profit as it did. Although, when the first reviews of the film were all 10 stars (fancy that - wink wink Hollywood suits), many people would have been suckered into paying to see it.
It really is beyond bad. Meryl Streep plays a character who "got around" when she was younger, so she doesn't know who the father of her daughter is. Fast forward and the daughter is getting married, but wants her father there so noses around in her mother's diary and sings songs that have nothing to do with the plot at the time- but hey they're ABBA songs so we're just supposed to go along with it. She finds out she has 3 potential fathers and invites them all to the wedding for some reason.
The 3 potential fathers turn up and more singing - that has nothing to do with the plot at the time - happens. Much cringing later for those who like a plot that doesn't have songs attached just because they have to be there....the girl doesn't get married and wow what a coincidence the mother and her two friends have 3 men (the fathers) to choose from. Except one of them is gay and the third woman likes to have flings with younger men and then sing songs about it.
The mother marries one of the potential fathers, just because he turned up and she loved him once - so naturally she must still love him. And she needs someone to help her out now her daughter is leaving- standard "man saves woman" plot line.
If you followed everything I typed, you might stay awake until the end of this cringefest.
