Review
With this big opening weekend either you're going to see the darker film The Dark Knight or you are going to see something more light hearted like Mamma Mia! Now I work at a movie theater a lot of people were just assuming that everyone was going to see The Dark Knight yesterday someone came up disappointed saying "my show sold out"... I looked at her with a smiling face and said "oh yeah dark knight I know"... she said "no mamma mia" I looked up all surprised Mamma Mia sold out as well people were really looking forward to this movie as well. I did see this movie on Saturday and really enjoyed it as cheesy as it was I do enjoy musicals I think the only thing is that this this is the happiest musical that I have ever seen. So it was nice to just sit there and be happy with these characters and you can't help but laugh at the predicaments that they get themselves into.
Sophie is a young woman who is about to tie the knot with her loving and adventurous fiancée Sky her life is great. She has a very loving mother Donna who is running a broke down hotel in Greece and used to be in a girl group called The Donna's. Sophie has one problem she has never met her dad she finds her mom's diary and discovers that she has three potential fathers. She invites them all to the wedding putting her mom's name on the invitation. So the three men Sam Harry and Bill come to see her and Sophie is caught in a situation where she doesn't know who's her real dad but they end up having the time of their lives and enjoying life together.
Mamma Mia is the light hearted comedy that I'm sure any musical lover could enjoy. I loved how well paced it was and how the cast looked like they had the ultimate time making this film that's what made it so much fun. This film also brings a lot of fun energy into you and just keeps you smiling. The songs were very catchy which I know this musical was based on the songs of Abba so we have that good old 70's groove going on. I would recommend Mamma Mia if you're looking to smile laugh and dance I'm sure you'll love to see Mamma Mia. It's a sweet film with the cheesy plot that is so much fun to laugh at plus it has men in speedo's who are dancing like crazy where can you go wrong with that OK you can but it's all good.
