MAMMA MIA!
Ok, Let me start off by saying how wonderful MOST of the cast was in this remake of a hit broadway musical.
Indeed, we are all aware of Meryl streep's undeniable talent, but the real story here is with newcomer amanda seyfried.
The movie starts off, not slow, not fast.
Then, the first song, Honey, honey begins, and the speed of the movie is revved up.
Sure, this is not even close to the best movie I have seen, but, there is no harm in going to the movies to have fun, and that is what mamma mia allows you to do.
Colin Firth does an ok job, as does Julie walters
And I doubt I will ever forget the goosebumps I received during Meryl's number, "The Winner Takes it All"
Unfortunately, every movie, in my mind has its downfall.
And that downfall here, is Pierce brosnan.
for some unknown reason,. every time the mand opens his mouth, every middle aged woman thinks it is hilarious, and the theater erupts with what sounds like the giggles of a school girl.
I am here to inform you trhat Pierce Brosnan is not funny in this movie, at all, and to laugh at him does not make a bit of sense.
All in all, Mamma Mia! deserves the exclamation point at the end of its title, because it is good fun for anyone who wants to view it...
to those who despise pierce asI do, do not fret, he has very few lines.
