A Big Ball of Fluff

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2017)

I would never have watched this because I'm no big ABBA fan. But my daughter talked me into it. She's a nice kid so I kept an open mind. I have to admit to trying to figure out how they managed to dredge a plot out of a mash-up of those songs. They did and they didn't. I know this has been a huge hit on Broadway and it has toured for a couple decades. Those companies probably were successful because they were talented Broadway, second team singers and dancers. Which means they were quite good. This film is mostly made up of recognizable, non-singing stars or stars that can sing in the shower but not very well. Anyway, the plot is absolutely lame, the acting is at best tiresome, and the production numbers are not all that creative. I'm giving it a 6 because my daughter might read this at some time.
