Mamma Mia
December 04, 2011 @ 04:45:58 am

I'm writing about every movie that I watch from the 18th November 2011

I decided that I would watch this movie since i find Amanda Seyfried is pretty.
From the trailer, it looked like a movie full of dirty yatchies in a rundown hotel. That's pretty much what it was....

I like most movies that revolve around beaches (the 80's The Tempest, The Beach). This was no exception. The plot wasn't that strong and i didn't like most of the songs but I still have to admit that the songs fit in well with the whole movie.
Mamma Mia also reintroduced me to 1 or 2 songs that i heard once or twice before that i did like.
I liked the laidback vibe of the movie and the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
The island seems like the kind of place I'd like to visit.

If you don't like ABBA, it was a lost cause. The plot was written as a vehicle for the songs. It's probably the most popular musical in the last 20 years (starting with London and Broadway) even counting The Phantom of the Opera. I really like the movie except for Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, neither of who can sing worth a damn. Pretty much ruined it in places but most of the numbers in it are still very good. I wasn't a Seyfried fan back then, but I am now after In Time.

If you get a chance go see it in a live show. The singers GOTTA be better. When I've seen it, it's one of those kind of shows where audiences go nuts, from teeny-boppers to septuagenarians.
