Review: Mamma Mia!


We waited SO long to see this movie musical that, with all our conflicting schedules, we barely caught it in theaters. We were also lucky enough to have choice seating in a sing-along viewing, which I know I heard at least Dianna take advantage of. But what of the movie we waited so long to see? Well, it was pretty twin-tastic. Set on a small island in Greece, it follows the story of Sophie, who's been raised by her fabulous ex-stage show mother running a very empty inn. Sophie's getting married and dreams of her MIA father giving her away during the ceremony. So she finds her mother's old diary and narrows it down to three choices, all of which she invites to the wedding under her mother's nose. Is this movie cheesy, ridiculous, and over-dramatic? Yes. But it's also fabulous and contains some very close-to-home senarios and characters. Besides, who doesn't love ABBA? Cute and cuddily, but should not be viewed by ANY straight man who likes James Bond. It just ruins the image.
