What a FUN movie!

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2008)

I saw Mamma Mia last Thursday night with my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law and we all enjoyed it. The theater was about 2/3 full at 7:30 p.m. on a week night. Everyone was laughing, but I didn't see anyone dancing in the aisles. I did laugh out loud every time Pierce Brosnan sang, but hey, he tried hard. The scenery, costumes, jokes, and music were fun even if the plot was a bit weak. My biggest question is "Where was the luggage?" The women who arrived by boat brought nothing with them but their purses. The men, however, were shown pulling their flight bags on wheels across the dock. Now, have you EVER known a woman who went to a Greek island for a wedding with NO luggage? Make sure you stay for the credits because there are some wonderful "extra" musical scenes at the end. I will probably buy the DVD of the movie when it's available. Definitely one I would watch again and again just because it's so much fun.
