Ok... I know what you are thinking. "Doug, you didn't really go see Mamma Mia!" Well actually... I did. But I was not by myself. That would be just a little too creepy. Evelyn and I were out in Maryland visiting our kids and my daughter, wife and I went and saw the movie.
So what's with the movie? What I can tell you is that when you leave the theater, you feel good, funny, entertained, and weird all at the same time. If you know absolutely that you do not like musicals, then don't go near it. Otherwise it was a really fun movie with one exception. Pierce Brosnan just can not carry a tune. He tries (sometimes too hard) but I'm sorry Pierce, this is one Bond that should avoid the musicals.
The really coolest parts of the movie were when the actors started to sing in the nasty actor trying to sing really well voice. After a couple moments there was an audio transition that went from set to studio voice with all the enhancements that come with a really good mixer.
So by the title one would think this is a story about the band Abba. Well, the music certainly is! There was only one song that I heard that I could not clearly identify as an Abba hit. It was really interesting how the mix of music lyrics and movie subject came together in the film.
Recommendation: If you like Abba music, or musicals in general, go see it.
Have a great weekend. Cya... Doug
