Revisit the Greek island where the sun never stops shining and they keep singing ABBA songs (though you may want Pierce Brosnan to stop his part in the vocal arrangements).
This is a great gift set for fans of the musical and comes with many added incentives to buy even if you already own a copy. If you do not own a copy, this would be the one to pick up!
Rejoin the cast: Meryl Streep as Donna Sheridan, Pierce Brosnan as Sam, Amanda Seyfried as Sophie. Fans know the plot: Sophie is getting married and as the impending nuptials approach, she discovers that one of three men could be her father. She also discovers that her mother, Donna, was quite the wild one in her youth. So the question becomes, who is Sophie’s father?
This set comes boxed with a song right on the cover complete with flashing blue lights, and if that doesn’t convince you to buy it, then the special features will. There are so many special features that come with this set.
Starting with the BD-Live, you can access the BD-Live to get even more special features. These features include a My Scenes feature, My Chat, and a My Mamma Mia commentary. Also, you can access the U-Control which is Universal’s exclusive feature that allows you to go deeper into the making of the film without ever leaving the movie.
Bonus features exclusive to the Blu-ray are Deleted scenes and outtakes, a sing-along that gives you on-screen lyrics for 22 musical numbers (think the ultimate Mamma Mia/ABBA karaoke ever), and even a deleted musical number, The Name of the Game.
Other bonus features exclusive to Blu-ray are The Making Of the Movie, Anatony of a Musical Number called Lay All Your Love On Me, Becoming a Singer Featurette, and a Behind the scenes with Amanda Featurette, which has content downloadable through BD-Live.
In that weren’t enough, Universal has packed this set with even more. There is an On Location in Greece through the BD-Lice, and Commentary feature with director Phyllida Lloyd, a music video for Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, a look inside Mamma Mia feature, and a Bjorn Ulvaeus Cameo.
The 2-Disc special edition Blu-ray+DVD includes a complete music sound track in the gift set. This includes all 18 tracks from the film with songs like Super Trouper, Mamma Mia, and Dancing Queen.
This is a can’t-miss set, and in perfect time for the holidays. Even if you are not a fan of the movie, it is a great set to own for your collection because it is sure to be a classic. I was not a fan of the musical but after viewing this set, I changed my mind.
There is so much to offer in such a small package, it would make an excellent holiday gift. It is the gift that keeps on giving: the gift of singing and dancing and sunlit fun. Highly recommended!
Mamma Mia! The Movie - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! More Gift Set is now available at Amazon . As of yet, there is not a release date for this version of the DVD in the UK. Visit the DVD database for more information.
