Captivating, Hypnotic Just Delightful

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2008)

I saw the Toronto Production in 2002, absolutely loved it, and went to see this movie with high expectations. and this movie delivered! I was absolutely surprised by Ms.Streep and her ability to pull off this role. She is truly world class! The remaining cast is simply excellent, although Pierce Brosnan takes down the great song arrangements a notch with his struggles to sing. The new and innovative Choreography was brilliant as well, although I found myself wishing the camera could pan back a bit, and show us more of the great dancers doing their thing! The cinematography was stunning, the Greek Isles could not be portrayed more Romantically! Amanda Seyfried is the epitome of Sophie, showing great depth and tremendous sex appeal, as does her counterpart Domenic Cooper (Sky). The movie plot moves along quickly and intertwines the song and dance numbers brilliantly, and keeps the mood light and uplifting! You will definitely find yourself getting into the swing of this film and you may be tempted to get out of your seat and dance and sing your way down the aisle!
