Connor Macgregor (In London) Reviews...Mamma Mia
I love ABBA and I love the stage show of Mamma Mia....so come the film i have reservations but enjoyed it.
The 20-year old bride-to-be Sophie Sheridan finds in her mother's diary that the strangers Sam, Harry or Bill might be her father. The needy Sophie dreams on having her father walking with her to the altar on her wedding with Sky in the Greek Kalokairi Island and she invites the three men to her wedding as if she were her mother Donna. Sophie believes she will immediately recognize her father in the trio of guests. Donna owns a simple hotel in the island and used to sing with her friends Rosie and Tanya, who also arrives in Kalokairi for the wedding, in their band Donna and the Dynamos. When Donna sees her former three lovers together in her hotel, she gets stressed and confused with the situation while Sky is upset with Sophie's attitude.
I can only describe Mamma Mia in one word...fun. Yes some of the story is daft but we didn`t come for plot...we came for ABBA and Actors doing ABBA Songs. Stop the criticism because they aren`t taking this seriously. Its a Musical. You can do anything in a musical and it could most likely work. The acting is what it is. Goofy but fun. Singing Voices are pretty good too. Except Pierce Brosnan who just plan sucks as singing. Its like a Dog dying painfully.
The Execution of the songs were well done. Meryl Streep was the best i think with Amanda Seyfried also delivering a good vocal voice. Pierce we all know was terrible and Julie Walters was pretty good too.
Overall Mamma Mia is fun and should not be tooken seriously. Have fun and buy it and enjoy it for what it is.
