Mamma Mia!

Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Amanda Seyfried head up an impressive cast in the ABBA-inspired musical Mamma Mia. I've only heard a few songs by ABBA and although I do like them, I never really got into them. But now I'm gonna listen to their greatest hits, that's basically the impact this movie will have on you.

Sophie is a 21-year old who's about to get married on an island in Greece. One problem though - she doesn't know who her father is. She then reads her mother's diary and finds three men who are probably her father. But which one? She invites all three to the wedding in the hopes that she can find out who is her father is. Oh, and all of this is set to ABBA music.

The music in this movie is hit or miss. Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried are good singers, but Pierce Brosnan? Not so much...The acting is good by all. The main problem with the movie is that you never really care what happens, you never truly invest in the story, and you forget you saw it. The dancing sequences are slightly awkward as well.

It's good entertainment, albeit, you will very much forget it. The kids will love it, but it just can't hold a candle to Hairspray. C+
