A party from beginning to end!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2008)

From the beginning this movie was a blast. It was just out of control fun. There's really no other way to explain it. The crowd I was with was a good one too. There was lots of laughter and even some dancing.
The cast was great. Occasionally, I was a little thrown by who was singing. Thinking, "wait, what Pierce Brosnan singing...weird," but I got used to it and just rolled with it.
Is it cheesy? Insanely so, but honestly, I loved every second of cheese. Hopefully, no one really expects something serious from a plot based on ABBA songs. :) Movies are supposed to entertain and I can't remember the last time I was just plain entertained for every second of a movie. In the end, I really just wanted everyone in the theatre to dance out together to "Dancing Queen." Admittedly, I'm coming from a musical/Broadway lover perspective, which is not everyone. However, Mamma Mia! happens to be one that I have not caught on stage yet so I can't comment on comparison.
