Bad excuse for a musical

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2009)

The whole point of making a musical is to enjoy the music. As it, Mamma Mia fails miserably. What could have been a wonderful musical movie is a bad excuse for an ego trip of an old woman who should know better trying to live a pop star teen dream. The bad casting resulting from Mrs. Streep age range hits an all time low with Pierce Brosnan, who can't sing a three note melody without falling out of tune, with a voice that has no place singing any lead role.
The Greek locations and the younger casting are marvelous, too bad nobody told the producers that there are actually fine actresses and actors who can sing, and at least, 15 years younger than the average of Mammma Mia's stars.
