Toe-tapping, song-along, good fun!

"Mamma Mia!" is a film based upon the Broadway sensation of the same name starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried and Colin Firth. The film follows the stage musical and is based upon the songs of successful 1970s group, ABBA, with additional music also composed by ABBA member Benny Andersson. This romantic comedy follows a mother (Streep) as she prepares for the wedding of her daughter Sophie (Seyfried) to uber hot Sky (the looks-better-with-his-shirt-off, Dominic Cooper). Despite opening the same weekend as The Dark Knight, the film had the largest opening weekend of any musical film in U.S. history.
I really liked this film. It was toe-tapping, song-along, good fun. And while the major fault of this movie was Pierce Brosnan trying to sing (emphasis on "trying"), the music in the film is all of ABBA's greatest hits, so how couldn't you have a good time? Granted, the musical is far superior (more energy, better choreography and superb singing), but the film had some breath-taking views of the Greek seashore and Amanda Seyfried did an excellent job playing the young bride-to-be.
I give "Mamma Mia!" four and one-quarter bridal bouquets (out of a possible five).
Yes, I recommend this movie.
