I saw the play "Mama Mia" 2 times/ It was tons of fun. However the story wasn't great the music was well great. Now because the music from the play is so well known the audience wants to sing along. The producers of the play figured this out fast so at the end of the play there was a mini concert and the audience got to somehow felt they became part of the show. However now that a movie has been made...
The movie is going to have a hard time capturing the spirit of the audience that wants to be part of the show/movie. I have only seen a preview of the movie on you tube and to me it looks like the movie has been OVERBLOWN. The play was simple but it worked. The sets were very minimum. After all the songs were the stars not the play or the actors. The movie has also made the mistake as casting Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. Neither one of them is known for singing. Also they are on the HOLLYWOOD A-LIST. This is a No No. The makers of the movie have fucked up. The stars of the movie is the songs of ABBA not the Actors.
ALSO because this is a movie and not a play the audience is now going to feel let down because they can not be part of the movie. Now I still think "MAMA MIA" was the perfect movie to reunite the cast and director of "GREASE". I would of also cast Stockard Channing and the rest of the pink ladies.

Watch Mamma Mia online free on losmovies now. I absolutely loved Abba when I was a teenager in the late 70's. With the big names in this movie, I assumed it would be at least average and maybe even good.
Sadly, this movie is a huge disappointment. I'm searching for the right words without being too critical, but frankly, they don't exist. No plot, no (singing) talent, and no satisfactory ending. Hard to believe Meryl Street, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth stooped to this level. Without them the movie would have been laughed out of Hollywood.
Please don't waste your $$. Buy an old Abba CD instead and enjoy the real thing.
