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

Mamma Mia review. What a good movie !! We have always liked musicals and this one did not disappoint.
Mamma Mia January 6, 2009
Fabulous, fun, great acting, sing and dance along. Movies like this are few and far between. I was never an ABBA fan but I love the way these songs are presented. Great for all ages. Meryl Streep is at her best. Very, very well cast and choreographed.

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."
