I've just seen a preview version.

I give it 0 out of 10.

It is the worst movie I have ever seen. Horrible direction it looks like a low budget piece of crap. And Meryl Streep singing is the worst.

Remember when musicals dubbed REAL singer voices into a musical? Not here just crapppppppppppppppppp..........

DO NOT pay money to see this! Rent it for $1 on DVD if you have to.

see the movie before commenting..

who the hell goes to movies looking for technicalities ( a critic might)...

one goes to movies to feel emotions (else just go to the opera house to hear glass breaking voices)..

This film is the funniest and most fun i had in movies for a while... it's all light and funny.

Go watch it!

I love the movie! I've seen it three times already and watch some more!

OK...so I took my better half to see this movie...mainly because I knew it would mean a lot to her, this small gesture. I have to say that I even convinced myself that I could enjoy it enough to keep from squirming in my seat, making faces or groaning out loud. Luckily for me I did get to see this movie at a theater that serves beer and food so it was easier to deal with. This movie was pretty poorly done, even from a musical perspective. The majority of the cast don't sing very well. Forget the ridiculous "plot" and the three old guys one of which may or may not be the lucky soul that created Sophie (which is not resolved really)...the dancing was bad, but what's worse is we're supposed to believe that Meryl Streep's character had a daughter 20 years ago...what, when she was 40? The other old ladies are awful and not that funny...and there's no way the "all too happy" looking black kid with the stupid hair would EVER be horny for that old lady from the Birdcage. And in the end...the stupid kids don't even go through with the wedding. If they hadn't filmed this in Greece it really would've bombed. It IS NOT funny, and it was not a good time. The movie was awful. And 007 can't sing at all. His SOS version was painful to listen to. They must have done it in one take due to the fact that nobody wanted to hear him attempt to sing again. I suppose the old lady next to me who kept crying especially during the "Winner takes it all song" means that I simply am not the target market for this horrible movie. This movie will likely appeal to gay men and middle-aged women. If nothing else, it's worth taking your woman to so she will owe you "something" *wink*

Mama Mia!!!

The Dude.

I agree with The Dude (see above). Just listen to the ABBA's CD if you like their music. Terrible movie. I never thought I would say it about a movie where Maryl S. is a lead actress.

Saw the film - thought it was really good as a fun, light-hearted, fun & take off of the musical, which I guess is what it was made as......and loved the fact that the cast just 'sang/wobbled' with their own voices (take note Dude) - a lot of the old musicals had famous actors voices dubbed by singers.... and I'd rather have any actor singing off note than have some professional just overdubbing.......

The 'Dude' needs to maybe get a life and lighten up a bit.....! (how old is he.she - he/she sounds like he's in his 50's!) PS - I am 29 - so not even one of your old ladies in the audience Dude...... The cinema where I saw it in London was filled with female and males under 30 and they clapped the film at the end .....

Obviously the "The Dude" is a pathetic, immature, really stupid person. I am a singer/entertainer myself and look very critically at musicals. This movie was exceptional on all counts....music, choreography, humor, talent, and (very important) pacing of numbers. Of course Brosnan may not be a singer per se, but he was picked on purpose BECAUSE he is a most unlikely candidate for this movie. It added a special humor - the effect was perfect. And because he is so suave and charming, this demeanor sailed him through. He was great - and the writers, directors, choreographers and cast knew what they were doing. Excellent work. It made you feel happy, really happy, with a smile on your face and making you feel like you want to dance and jump up and down in your seat. This is what entertainment is about Mr. Dude - emotion and feeling! Sorry that you just didn't get it and most probably you don't get much of life either.
Go see this movie more than once - it'll brighten your day, your week, your attitude!

I've seen it 3 times now and loved every minute. I'm even getting accustomed to Pierce Brosnan's singing - it's not bad at all.

All you women need to stop ganging up on the Dude. Say what you will about the movie, but try to focus on the movie and not other people. I find it funny when you have a positive opinion about something, you express it but then get defensive when someone says negative stuff about you, based solely on your opinions. Perhaps you need to learn to lighten up and just accept that not everyone will be thrilled to see Mamma Mia! It certainly was not for folks that are not acclimated with musicals or romantic comedies. Saying stuff like:
"This is what entertainment is about Mr. Dude - emotion and feeling! Sorry that you just didn't get it and most probably you don't get much of life either." This kind of remedial crap does nothing but make you a look like a complete ignoramus. Just because you are a musical entertainer does not mean that the world shares your opinion on what entertainment is. Perhaps widenening you are the one who needs to get a life and stop getting into others' business over something as trivial as a silly romantic comedy.

By the way, the movie was not made for guys who have tastes like the Dude. Does that make his opinions invalid? Absolutely not. The film producers should have considered that many husbands would be dragged into seeing this by their spouses. I AM NOT SAYING THAT ALL HUSBANDS WERE RELUCTANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE. That being said, I will end it here. It says in the bloody comment policy for NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. Clearly reading/comprehension and higher level reasoning is out of the picture when it comes to opinionated arguments about Mamma Mia on this blog.

Not everyone liked this movie. Learn to live with it.
