I've always been a big fan of our gay friends, so it is with love and respect that I say this: Mamma Mia was, without a doubt, the gayest thing I've ever laid eyes on.
This movie was a total estrogenfest, and I'll never get "Dancing Queen" out of my head, but I loved it with every fiber of my being.
I thought Meryl Streep was very believable as Donna, Pierce Brosnan's singing wasn't *that* bad, and Amanda Seyfried was gorgeous and adorable. Colin Firth is one of my favorite actors, but his performance seemed a little forced and awkward. But that might have been the role. I don't really get subtlety.
Also, there were lots of half-naked pretty people. Thank you, directors, for bringing in a little something for the ladies, and the men, but I doubt there will be a lot of straight guys there to enjoy the girls. I know the only way I could get my husband to see this is if I clubbed him, dragged him to the theater, and taped his eyes open while holding a gun to his head.
There were parts of the movie that were utterly cringeworthy, but as some other reviewer said, this is a script built around ABBA songs, so don't see this if you hate gratuitous cheese.
I'd be lying if I said that I don't plan on buying this DVD the day it comes out. Who am I kidding? I'll probably go see it again in the theater.
Oh, and be sure to stick around for the credits. Brilliant. This movie wins.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
