It is very good, excellent, saw the play twice, this compares and translates to the big screen nicely

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2008)

The spoiler, I will say this first. When I saw the play, it had a sequence where between voulez vous and her waking up the next morning she had a nightmare. It is missing the nightmare. The nightmare was done to the song Under Attack. Had they put the song in it I think it would have contained the ONLY word considered as a swear word.
The movie was excellent. It really was. It is schmaltzy, sure, it is a little over sweet, yeah, but it is one of the few movies I have seen, in a long, LONG, time that I didn't feel the need to say Hail Marys or take a long hot shower after because the humor was filthy. The theater was packed. This being a week after it opened in USA that I saw it.
If you don't like ABBA music don't see it.
It is a family movie that you can easily take the whole family to and not have to worry much, aside from Christine's occasional naughty physical humor. That is about the only thing really dirty or adult about it.
