Mama Mia the movie

Meryl Streep totally shines in this movie. I nagged RE to watch this film with me since everyone was saying how good it was; though I wasn't too sure of what to expect from it. I hadn't seen the west end show so was not really aware of the story line but that really did not matter.

As soon as the first song started I was loving it! Abba songs !!! RE's and my time!!!! The actors may not be that great at singing but does it matter?! They are actors after all and this is not the west end! The actors play the parts really well and make fun of themselves at the same time. The story line is fun and has laughs for all ages. Julie Waters is her fantastic self in it and Meryl Streep plays the mother really well. The dance scenes are great and well put together. Loads of people in the cinema were singing and dancing in their seats so just enjoy it and have some laughs for a few hours.

If you take it for what it is, a fun laugh out loud film with good actors and fantastic songs, then you will enjoy this film so much. Enjoy it and have fun - you may need your tissues though as I'm pretty sure some of you ( with daughters like me) will be crying and laughing at some of the scenes.
