Worst musical ever

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2009)

The story of Sophie, who lives with her mother in a dilapidated hotel on an idyllic Greek island, wants nothing more than for her father to be at her forthcoming wedding. The trouble is her father could be any one of three men with whom her mother dot dot dotted twenty years ago. So Sophie invites all three of them to her wedding and, as expected, complications ensue.This film has been mentioned so many times to me that I thought it was about time we had a look!! What a waste of an evening. I'm just glad I didn't take out a loan to go watch it at the cinema. The setting was great, Meryl streep was the only saving grace. Obviously if you are a massive Abba fan you will probably enjoy it but only for the songs not the vocal talent that's for sure! Poor old Pierce Brosnan I admire the man for having a go but singing is definitely not his forte.
