Plot: Longing to discover the identity of her true father before she exchanges her wedding vows, the daughter of a once-rebellious single mother secretly invites a trio of paternal candidates to her upcoming wedding in this feature adaptation of the beloved stage musical. Independent-minded single mother Donna (Meryl Streep) has always done her best to raise her spirited daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), while simultaneously running a successful hotel on a small Greek island, but now the time has come for this hardworking mom to finally let go. In just a few days, Sophie will be married, and Donna will stand by bittersweetly as her little girl takes flight. Of course, Donna's lifelong friends Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski) will both be present at the wedding, but unbeknownst to the mother, Sophie has furtively invited three very special guests of her own. When Sophie walks down the aisle on that fateful day, she wants her father to hand her off. The only problem is that Donna has never revealed the true identity of Sophie's father, leaving the resourceful future bride to narrow the list down to three potential candidates. Now, as three key figures from Donna's past return to the picturesque Mediterranean shores they all walked 20 years prior, one beautiful bride will discover the secret of her past while one lonely mother finds out that it's never too late for a little romance. Phyllida Lloyd, director of both the original London sensation as well as the hit Broadway incarnation, makes her feature directorial debut with this big-screen version of the beloved musical featuring 22 classic ABBA hits. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, and Dominic Cooper co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This has to be one of my favorite movies. I can watch it multiple times and be smiling the whole time. If you are looking for something serious with tons of special effects, forget it....but if you are like me and just want to be entertained and walk away feeling like you did in the 70's, then this is for you. Is the singing perfect? NO. Meryl and Amanda do a great job, but others not so great. YET who cares? I am not looking for perfection. It is real with a touch of great imagination. Not to mention the wonderful scenery, which is worth seeing just for it alone. I enjoyed the way the songs wove into a story that worked, almost like an opera. I also liked the closing scene with some of the original ABBA (think he was also playing the piano on the water scene where women all jumped in) and Meryl Streep all done up and asking "if we want it".....GREAT FUN and GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.

This is a beautiful musical. The cinematography alone makes you want to live this story. While others argue whether or not the "older" stars of this movie should have been cast, I feel the movie wouldn't have been the same without them. To me it makes the story much more realistic than having better trained singers in their roles. Funny thing is, I was never an Abba fan until this movie came out ...
