WOW! Astounding videography!! Also, some of the best music and choral work heard in the theaters today! Chris Bacon, whose name is in the credits as an additional composer is American, and apparently used American talent. The orchestra sounded lush and wonderful, and the chorus was both tasteful and glorious! We took the whole family, 2 kids ages 12 & 10 including Grandma (80)...all loved this movie! We went early on the INSISTENCE of my 10 year old daughter to take advantage of the trees that would be planted on our behalf. GOOD IDEA!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The best part of the movie were the songs. Of course the story was contrived at best, trying to shove an ABBA song into every scene. The movie was a nail biter every time an actor had to sing. Meryl Streep's voice seemed disembodied from her.... her timbre changed up a third every time she sang. Pierce looked very uncomfortable, and Colin's singing was only slightly better than his "Tony" necessary storyline. The movie was uncomfortable to watch and my family felt like it was a wasted afternoon. We still love ABBA's music and the vistas of the Greek Isles....safely the best parts of the movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
