Well yesterday i granted one of my mothers wishes even if i did not like the request she has been killing me to go and see the new mamma mia movie and i did not want to and i have been holding out till now and now that its finally made it on DVD i thought why not give it a go and see how it really is.

Well i have to say i am a fan of musicaks movies and on stage.

However....

This movie should have not been made or even thought about once nor twice.

You really have to be a hardcore abba fan to love this movie the whole movie was just a 2 hour show of abba hits and in my book they did not even do half of the big hits and they fitted in some really crappy numbers.

The plot was very basic a 2year old could have even written it. Basically it was about a girl trying to find her dad and she invites 3 guys that could be her father to her wedding so she can find out who her daddy is and thats the end of the story and plot in between this really small plot you have to sit through some really awful renditions of abba songs.

Now to the actors and actresses Merryl Streep well shes a headliner yes and some songs she did better than others however when she starts the songs it takes her awhile to get the pitch tone etc... right and by the middle of the song u get into it.

The 2 lovebirds that are getting married are probablly the only 2 people that can sing in this movie.

Now to the male leads i have to say the guy from the pirates movie that plays orlando blooms dad did not have many songs so i cant really judge his singing ability.

Colin Firth I have to say was the real surprise pack of them all he actually could sing it was not the best but he can hold a note and did sing well enough for me to take notice.

Now to Brosnan, Peirce Brosnan you may wonder whyi introduced him theat way well i think it was such a mis cast putting him in dont get me wrong eye candy for the ladies yes but once he sang it was like your sex drive would not shift from Park.

Percie should stick to making films like bond action flicks even straigh comedies and drammas not musicals. I like him i think he should have still been playing bond but hey thats over but stick with non musical flicks.

Soo overall you have to be an abba fan to really want to watch this movie.

Now to the rating.

3/10
Only because i liked three of the big abba numbers.

Just remember, our generation gave you all the Good music. We made rock and metal rule. It was our classmates, those dweebs who went out and bought Abba and Village People albums! ;P
