Has anyone seen the movie "Mama Mia!"?
I love ABBA music, but I've resisted watching the movie because I thought the casting (Pierce Brosnan & Meryl Streep) was really weird in a musical.
I taped it the other night and watched it this evening. There were a few parts where I felt the need to fast forward a bit, but all in all it wasn't as horrid as I thought it would be.
I still disagree with the casting because man, some of those people really couldn't sing all that well, with the exception of the girl who played Sophie.
But the music itself was retro happiness! I overlooked the bad singing and imagined ABBA singing and I was dancing in my seat.
The other good part of the movie was Pierce Brosnan. He's not much of a singer, but he sure is good eye candy!
Not sure what the critics felt about the movie at the time because I really didn't pay attention, but out of 5 stars I would give it a 2.
