Review: Mamma Mia!

Guest Reviewer: Efa Edwards


The Good
Okay, so it's not exactly Oscar material, but this is one of the most
enjoyable films I've ever seen. It's so feelgood, it makes me want to stand up
and sing Dancing Queen on the top of my lungs. And Meryl Streep 's voice wasn't
actually that bad. It has a strong well-known cast, that includes Amanda
Seyfried (the thick one off Mean Girls), Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan. Julie
Walters and Christine Baranski deliver good comedic performances as Streep's
back up singers. Baranski's solo song, Does Your Mother Know, was one of my
personal highlights. Also the young 'uns, Dominic Cooper (History Boys) and
Seyfried are two promising young actors who have chemistry as the young lovers.
As usual Streep was on top form.


The Bad
The story is so out-there, it's
quite hard to believe. And it's really cheesy so it might not be for everyone.
But that's why I love it!!


The Ugly
Don't get me started on Pierce
Brosnan's singing. He looks like he's constipated in his big solo, SOS.
