When Mama Mia hit the big screen the frivolity ensued. It is SO much like the play it doesn't disappoint. I was fascinated by the beautiful scenic isle in Greece and could only think how much fun the cast must have had.
The film version story was true to form from the play and the actors and actresses brought a lot of fun to the film version. The singing was wonderful, except for Pierce. A fill in there would have given it five stars.
It was uplifitng and Meryl Streep deserves another academy nod at least for her performance, as well as Christine for supporting actress.
So overall, if you like fun, frivolity, the hectic anticipation before a wedding, the music of Abba and the ocean blue, Mama Mia is a must see.
