Sorry Mamma Mia fan but I love film in all of its guises including musicals - just check out my set reviews of Astaire/Rogers, Esther Williams, Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory, Busby Berkeley, Judy Garland, etc. on this very site. In fact, I appreciate the genre more than anybody I know...which is maybe why I found 'Mamma Mia!' to be a debacle as far as the genre goes. It coasts along on the sheer exuberance of the ABBA songs overconfident in the fact that little things like choreography and singing won't matter. But I don't want to be a grinch...I can see why people could have fun with the film. Merry Christmas!
Shut up you Frankie Dee, whoever you are! Don't try to fool us by saying that your a fan of the genre. You don't appreciate good, classic and quality musicals like mamma mia. Im sure you're one of those fanboys who worshipped Dark Knight more than anything else and hated mamma mia for being camp, cheesy and girly movie. Mamma mia fyi, overtook grease for being the highest grossing musical of all time. It's been the top grossing film of all time in UK, surpassing titanic. Don't tell me, Brits have bad tastes for liking this movie. Don't tell me millions of people around the world specially from Europe being the richest continent in the world have bad tastes. This movie has grossed almost $600 million. And i don't think only those ABBA fans came to spend money to visit movie houses, not just once but they keep on coming back and back to enjoy the movie. I don't think, this is a sign of a bad movie after all. I should say and millions of people around the world that Mamma mia the movie is one of the best films made in this generation and age. FYI, it's been nominated for best picture and best actress in the Golden Globe awards. Is this what you call bad movie? Common, don't pretend to be a good and reliable reviewer. You're reviews are crapped and worthless. One word, SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Personally, I didn't care for the movie either and I don't see what all the praise is for. To defend Frankie, Entertainment Weekly has bashed the film since it was released on DVD - giving it a C rating and calling it one of the worst soundtracks of the year in its Best and Worst of 2008 magazine.
Join the music, laughter and fun of the irresistibly charming "Mamma Mia! The Movie". Academy Award(R)-winner Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast, including Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Skarsgard - as ...more
