Great cast did all they could to help along a storyline that was average at best.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Fascinating story, which I'd initially thought was reminiscent of "21" ... only to find out that Kevin Spacey was exec. producer!
Fast-moving, yet easy to follow account of the birth of Facebook, with splashes of humor. A virtually unknown cast (to me - save Justin Timberlake) with extraordinary acting abilities facilitated this wonderfully-crafted story's delivery to the Silver Screen, which could have easily exceeded 2 hours.
I grew up with ABBA's music and couldn't wait to see Mama Mia. The only way you would know it was filmed in Greece is if you’d actually BEEN to Greece. The big turn-off: lyrics in synch with every song ("follow-the-bouncing-ball" sing-a-long) - more of an annoyance after the third song. The storyline itself was good. Amanda Seyfried was wonderful as Sophie - beautiful voice; played her role extremely well. But Meryl Streep & Pierce Brosnan as leads? Questionable. Some of the scenes were quite a stretch, including the two final songs (when credits were rolling) I honestly expected it to be better than it was.
