You Know What? Its Good.

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2009)

I didn't expect much so I was happy watching this film. There isn't much of a story here, a young lady named Sophie is getting married and she invites three men that dated her mom in and around the same time, one of whom is her father. This would fall flat as a drama but as a musical with those infectious ABBA songs, it becomes fun to watch. Meryl Streep is fine as Donna, Sophie's mom and she sings reasonably well. I would suggest turning up the movie a bit louder and immerse yourself in it. The supporting players, including Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters, are all part of the fun. Not much to think about, but that makes it a better film. So, enjoy, its worth watching.
