Product Description
Universal Pictures Mamma Mia! The Movie (Blu-ray) The delirious sight of Meryl Streep leading a river of multigenerational women singing "Dancing Queen" is one of thehigh points of Mamma Mia!, the musical built around the songs of the hugely popular pop group ABBA.The plot sets in motion when Sophie (Amanda Seyfried, Mean Girls), daughter of Donna (Streep), sends a letter to three men, inviting them to her wedding--because after reading her mother's diary, shesuspects that one of them is her father. When allthree arrive at the Greek island where Donna runsa hotel, Donna flips out and finds that passions she thought she'd laid aside are coming back to life. But let's face it, the plot is not the point--it's a ridiculous contrivance that provides an excuse for the characters to sing the massive hits ofABBA.

The delirious sight of Meryl Streep leading a river of multigenerational women singing "Dancing Queen" is one of the high points of Mamma Mia!, the musical built around the songs of the hugely popular pop group ABBA. The plot sets in motion when Sophie (Amanda Seyfried, Mean Girls), daughter of Donna (Streep), sends a letter to three men, inviting them to her wedding--because after reading her mother's diary, she suspects that one of them is her father. When all three arrive at the Greek island where Donna runs a hotel, Donna flips out and finds that passions she thought she'd laid aside are coming back to life. But let's face it, the plot is not the point--it's a ridiculous contrivance that provides an excuse for the characters to sing the massive hits of ABBA. Regrettably, first-time film director Phyllida Lloyd (who directed the original stage production) has drawn over-the-top performances from everyone involved, even Streep; every production number hammers its exuberance into your eyeballs. Which is too bad, because Mamma Mia! is a rarity: A middle-aged love story. The kids start things off, but the story is really about Streep and the three guys (former James Bond Pierce Brosnan, former Mr. Darcy Colin Firth, and Swedish star Stellan Skarsgard), as well as Donna's best friends (Christine Baranski, best known from the TV show Cybill, and Julie Walters, Calendar Girls). It's a romantic comedy aimed at the people who were around when all these songs were new, and that's an age group Hollywood largely ignores. For that alone, Mamma Mia! deserves to find an audience. --Bret Fetzer

  MAMA, MIA   January 6, 2009
Pamela Fuschetto (Hackensack, NJ)
I saw this movie in the theater and loved it, but enjoyed it even more at home. Smart, witty, beautifully scenic and brilliantly acted.

Meryl Streep amazing, Christine Biranski and Julie Walters sheer delights as the girlfriends. Excellent casting and highly enjoyable. Great charisma.

The men, gorgeous to look at, but not singers, so be prepared, made it all the more enjoyable and realistic. Where else can you feast your eyes on Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan together, every woman's dream. Watch the credits, a really good time.

The youngsters, wonderfully talented but the adults delightfully steal the show.

A really enjoyable experience all around, of course ABBA being the "Winner That Takes It All."



  Family Fun! (Should be Rated PG...)   January 6, 2009
The Literaturette (Chicago)
I watched this movie multiple times with the two girls I babysit for. They are 8 and 6. Their parents had no problem with letting the girls see it. I realize it's a PG-13 movie, but much of the 'objectionable content' comes in the form of sexual innuendos that, thankfully, go straight over their heads. There is no cursing and there is one brief shot of nudity (male behind) that I really thought was stupid. It added nothing to the film and probably is what pushed the rating up to PG-13.

The girls have just fallen in love with this movie. It's even ousted High School Musical out of the top spot of "their faves". They LOVE the songs. We have a blast, dancing and singing along. They love to dress up and sing along to 'Dancing Queen'. And I'll admit, it's pretty catchy! I find myself having a good time as well.

As long as you aren't an uptight sourpuss, you should be able to appreciate this movie and its charm. The movie is cheesy, of course. But it's really fun. And Meryl Streep is an amazing actress. She's truly the star. I think this is a great movie, especially for middle aged women and their daughters.



  fun, "feel-good" movie   January 5, 2009

I saw this movie during summer 2008. Best film I saw that summer.

This is the movie version of the Broadway musical, Mamma Mia. The music in the movie uses ABBA songs to tell the story.

If you are interested in seeing a fun, "feel-good" movie, I recommend this one.



  A Great "Feel-Good" Movie   January 4, 2009

This movie has easily become one of my favorite movies EVER!! I have always loved musicals and after seeing Hairspray in theaters I decided to make it a priority to see all movie musicals on the big screen!! After seeing this I am just as sure that musicals are just getting better.

This movie showcases outstanding performances from all involved!! Whether it be Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, and Julie Walters belting out "Dancing Queen", Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellen Skarsgard singing the brezzy "Our Last Summer", or Meryl simply singing the beautiful ballad "Slipping Through My Fingers" this film is sure to please everyone!!

I love cheesy movies and a fair number of musicals BUT this has to be a joke. This movie is breaking records for 2008??? There are maybe two songs that faired an okay from me-the rest I was cringing every time the actors opened their mouths. I love Meryl and I doubt that I'll ever be able to prop her back on the pedestal I had her on after this. This is bad. This is a very bad film and I couldn't dare recommend this to my worst enemy.
