This was dreadfull!!!
what a travesty of Benny & Bjorn songs. I would not give this room on my shelf.Mamma Mia! [2008]
It certainly was not my cup of tea!
Without exaggeration - the worst film ever made. January 5, 2009

It seems any negative review of this film gets instant dismissal, however, I cannot understand why fans of Abba would enjoy this film and non-fans would put themselves through such torture. Musically speaking this film is a train-wreck, the actors cannot sing and if this is done for comedic effect, well, this is lost on me. The whole story is geared around the by-gone promiscuity of the meryl streep character and the daughter endeavouring to discover her true father. That's it. I have saved you time and money. I had to endure the entirety of this film and when it finished was left dumbstruck as to the possible cause of its recent popularity. It is by far the worst film ever made and I am including 'Grumpy Old Men 2' and 'The Happening' in this summary. Please avoid this film for the love of humanity and the preservation of all that is good and decent left in this world.
 Mama Mia thumbs down January 5, 2009

Despite the quality of Meryl Streep's Voice and the 'Does you mother know your out' routine the rest was frantic giddy idiotic dancing etc. All the actors looked as if they were on Speed. And Julie Walters was hopelessly miscast I was embarrased for this fine actress. Also the 'bride'didn't resemble Meryl Streep (her Mother) or any of the three men claiming her as a daughter. The casting agent got it wrong! The music was great thanks to the talent and knowledge of the english language of the Swedes. This production didn't do them justice though.
 Great film! January 4, 2009

Went to see this film at the cinema with the girlies, not really knowing what to expect. What a great film it is!
Had to buy the DVD.....a must for any ABBA fan, or anyone who enjoys a good movie.
Have to say though my husband was very disapointed to see 'James Bond' singing, he couldn't believe 007 would take such a 'girl's role'.
Oh well, still a great film.
Wonderful January 4, 2009

I was hesitating to go see this but it turned out to be fantastic - in a completely kitchy way but that's the point. No one can claim to sit down to this and expect Citizen Kane.
Meryl Streep sings very well, the others don't, but it's all such good fun and everyone is clearly having a fabulous time. Suspiciouly good Streep/Brosnan chemistry I thought, but maybe I am overinterpreting here... Great fun anyway.
