Mamma Mia!
I have just returned home after going to the movies to see "Mamma Mia!". I give it a 9 and recommend watching it: it is a funny, light-hearted, high spirited, well acted and performed movie, putting me, and the other people in the cinema, in a good mood.
The songs are well....ABBA's songs, the actors are surprisingly good at singing (particular mention to Meryl Streep, with her powerful, expressive and vibrant voice, and Colin Firth), the choreography is new, fun and colorful. Add to all this a breath-taking setting in Greece, with wonderful blue/green/emerald sea...that makes you longing to leave on the spot and go there on holiday.
All is executed in a professional way, but not taking the whole "musical" side of it too seriously. Very enjoyable. Watch the ending titles for a couple of surprises...
