I had seen the musical Mama Mia and was very much looking forward to seeing this film. I actually bought a ticket for 12:01 am movie showing. The good thing about this film is the film itself was shot in a beautiful location and the director took this into account. It is a beautiful film. Also, most of the actors were great singers, and this is key to this film. Unfortunately. the lead characters did not have strong singing voices. Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, though wonderful to look at, cannot sing well enough to sustain this film. In fact, people started giggling everytime Brosnan or Streep started to sing. Other than that, a good film. Just could have been so much more.
