here i go again. (my my how can i resist?)

Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is about to marry Sky (Dominic Cooper) on the Greek island on which she lives her free-spirited mother Donna (Meryl Streep) and Sophie has but one wish - for her father to give her away at her wedding.

Here's the problem - she doesn't know who her father is.

And now she's narrowed it down to 3.
So she invites Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), Harry Bright (Colin Firth) & Bill Anderson (Stellan Skarsgård) without her mother's knowledge in hopes she'll figure out which one of them is her father by the time her wedding swings around.

But as you can expect - things are never so simple.
So with her 2 best friends Tanya (Christine Baranski) & Rosie (Julie Walters), Donna must now juggle the prospect of her daughter's wedding and also all 3 of her former lovers showing up at the same time.

And of course there NO better way to perform such hilarity other than to good ol' ABBA tunes am i right?

Well first off i think Meryl Streep was a horrible miscast in this.
They should have gotten Michelle Pfeiffer or something.
But Amanda Seyfried is so hot as usual so it kind of cancels that out.
And the setting of Greece is spectacularly beautiful!

ABBA songs are always fun to listen to and since the stage play was so popular i guess a lot of people expected the movie to be good as well.
And i think it wasn't too bad but it wasn't as good as other musicals that have been made into movies y'know...
Kinda like... hmmm.. how do i put it...

This movie made me want to listen to an ABBA greatest hits CD.
This movie made me want to go on a holiday to Greece.
This movie's biggest fault is that it made me want to leave the cinema immediately to do those things.

Final Verdict:
