I love ABBA, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth. This movie was a joyous blending of all of them. It is just fun to the tunes of ABBA. The critics panned eveything from the acting to the pace, but Mamma Mia! moves to the pace of the fast moving music it was meant to showcase, and the acting-well...Meryl Streep, Colin Firth...need I say more!? Only one of the critics acknowledged that this was not their kind of movie when it was obvious none of them liked this kind of movie-at least there is one honest critic out there! (The movie's scenery is great, too!)
