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

Classic Musical

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 ...

Enjoyable, energetic, mindless fun

I avoided seeing this film for a long time because, in the late 70's, I was over-saturated with ABBA. Being somewhat of a film aficianado, I've come to believe that Meryl Streep is among the finest of actresses...ever. I had to check out her musical romp, and I wasn't disappointed. Everyone knows she has a great voice (Postcards from the Edge, Ironweed) and I'm surprised she hasn't been used in other musical endeavors. Regardless, I enjoyed "Mamma Mia!" a lot; a sweet love story centering around middle'aged types. How refreshing. I was entertained a lot, and if you weren't, maybe you should lighten up a bit. I enjoyed the entire cast of old pros, and also the lovely Amanda Seyfried as the catalyst of all the silliness that ensues. It's so silly, but I applaud the film for its unrelenting energy. Kick back, have popcorn and beverages of choice, and enjoy this attempt to bring back the exhuberant musical style that hasn't been successful since "Grease" (1978) or "Hair" (1979). Meryl Streep really shines, once again.
