October 1, 2009What?s wrong with everyone? This is one of the worst films I've ever seen! The acting is awful, the singing is dreadful, the story is pitiful, the structure and how they work the songs into the script is laughable if not baffling and everyone shouts! Stop shouting!! Got a crap fi...( read more)

September 22, 2009I tell you, Roger is becoming such an old fuddy-duddy. If you like that? Yeah, Roger, I for one do like ABBA, okay? Since you ask . . . sheesh!
But I gotta say, I like ABBA a lot more when they are performing their music in concert, or on the radio, or on CD. Wait, let me

August 9, 2009Okay, it was totaly FANTASTIC. Actually, it's not such a great movie, but that is what makes it so great. It's so corny that it reels you in loike you wouldn't believe. Plus, you have to love ABBA music. : )

August 1, 2009I love Meryl Streep. I like ABBA's music. So you'd think the combo would be a winner but it wasn't.

November 20, 2009Pretty good musical movie but I've seen better. Liked the story though. Felt a little strange watching Pierce Brosnan singing. I give it three stars.

The legal definition of torture has been much aired in recent years, and I take Mamma Mia! to be a useful contribution to that debate. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
If you're invited, you might as well enjoy yourself. Just don't say I didn't warn you. And don't you dare say I hate ABBA. full review

When Brosnan opens his mouth, the wrong sounds come out. And yet they're among the few things in Mamma Mia! that feel anything close to right. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There are the wall-to-wall songs by ABBA, if you like that sort of thing. I don't, not much. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The adaptation of the long-running stage hit is a crowd-pleasing gusher of escapism, not the least of which is respite from summertime teen action fare. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
You can have a perfectly nice time watching this spirited adaptation of the popular stage musical and, once the hangover wears off, acknowledge just how bad it is.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
When Streep, Walters and Baranski share the screen, Mamma Mia! comes alive and earns its exclamation point. The rest is forced gaiety pushed to the breaking point. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
The new film version of the Broadway musical Mamma Mia! seems to be made by people who have no instinctive connection to pop music. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Streep has a sweet voice and knows how to use it, but it's sad to watch a perfectionist remove part of her brain and try to convince us she's having a jolly time. full review
