Well my wife and I bought a couple of DVDs this week, since we don't splurge on ourselves too much. One of them was "Mama Mia." That's right, the musical.
Normally I like musicals. I was prepared to hate this though, primarily because of all the hype it got from women and people my parents age. Not to mention, I'm not a huge ABBA fan.
I was pretty impressed though. It was fun. Pierce Brosnan can't carry a tune in 3 buckets, and he pretty much butchered the only ABBA song I really like, "SOS." All the other songs were pretty decent though.
It's a cool concept, taking a band's music, putting a storyline to it, and making a musical. For the most part, I thought it worked pretty well. There were a few songs where it seemed it was a bit of a stretch to put them at that point in the story, but they were few and far between. For the most part it was just a fun movie.
I'd probably give it three stars, and I'm sure we'll be watching it again over the years.
