We chose this movie because of it's popularity. Some thought it would be just another teen "chick flick" . Much to our delight we found a movie that provided enjoyment for mulit-generational and by males and females. You leave "Twilight" wanting more which is always a good sign for any movie.
After reading all the "professional" critics review of "Mamma Mia!" we almost passed on seeing it on the big screen (we were going to wait for the video) but decided to take my 12-year old and mother. Yes, Meryl Streep is too old for the part, but she is delightful and Pierce Brosnan is no singer, but you don't care. The story is charming. You won't be dancing in the aisles like you do at the stage production, but it's a fun movie with feel good songs and you'll leave feeling your time was well spent.
I took 3 generations to see this movie and everyone enjoyed it. It may not have everyone in my group's first choice, but this little flick made us all laugh out loud. It was simply a feel good night at the movies.
