Mamma Mia! [2008]

starring: Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, Julie Walters
directed by: Phyllida Lloyd

Release Date November 24, 2008
Point one: I don't really like musicals but I watched this with my dearly beloved because she'd heard it was good fun.

Point two: I love Abba and was a big fan way back then and I still think they were just about the best pop group of the 70's.

But this film was just plain nonsense. Of course it wasn't to be taken seriously and was supposed to be fun and light-hearted. But that is no excuse for a) there being NO plot, b) some of the worst casting I have ever come across (Pierce Brosnan?), c) just about the most awful bunch of cover versions of some of the most-beloved songs in recent history.

Sorry, but this is one of the worst cases of exploitation of the value of "star pull" that I have ever come across. ... Read More:

Mamma Mia! Gift Set [2008]

starring: Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgaard, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski, Amanda Seyfried
directed by: Phyllida Lloyd

Release Date November 24, 2008
I am what you might call a Mamma Mia addict - I saw it five times at the cinema, and am just about to start watching the DVD for the second time since it arrived on Monday. There is a very good reason for it....the film is fantastic! So funny and light-hearted, and even though some of the singing is quite ropey, this only adds to the film's charm. Meryl Streep's rendition of "The Winner Takes It All" is incredible. If you never buy another DVD again, buy this one! (And the gift set with diary, pen and "surprise" is good too!)

Mamma Mia! [Blu-ray] [2008]

starring: Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, Julie Walters
directed by: Phyllida Lloyd

Release Date November 24, 2008
Just finished watching the movie and pretty much all the extras! Absolutely loved the movie (which has already been reviewed many, many times) - best movie musical I've seen since Moulin Rouge. And the Blu Ray - sound and picture - is just stunning. Having been to Skiathos and Skopelos, where this was partially filmed, made me want to go right back. Forget the DVD, buy the Blu Ray. Money well spent...
