Feelgood tears, laughter and music!

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2008)

If you're looking for perfection in the voices, forget it ... If you're looking for a story without a loophole ... forget it ... but if you want to watch a movie with some fabulous music, some talented actors, (who obviously feel a love for ABBA music - and appreciate it for what it is ... feel good fun) ... then this is the movie for YOU! This is not academy award winning movie material ... it is just feel good fun and tears!
I have seen so many father/daughter movies, and mother/son movies, but I actually had to leave the room at one point due to my over emotional state involving the mother/daughter scenario! Yes, I have two daughters ... and it was refreshing to view a comedy with a difference ... It had music, tears, love and laughter! A rare commodity today! Congrats to all who participated ... It takes talent to pull this off ... esp. with 70's genre music in a 00's movie! Loved it all! Hats off to Meryl Streep who is the Queen of talent, Pierce Brosnan who had the courage to commit to such a different genre, and to the most spectacular talent of the young lady who played the bride - I will be looking out for you again!
