I have seen Mamma Mia on stage and now I have seen Mamma Mia 3 times in the theater. Although the movie does not have all of the songs from the stage play, the music, singing, dancing and scenery was enough to carry the film. I could not believe Meryl Streep could sing that well. Everyone did a fantastic job. Of course the movie version would have a different spin from the play, it was the best $12.00 I have spent in a long time. Thank God something came out in the movies that made you feel good. There is so much junk in the movies now a days, it was good to actually go to the movies and feel better after leaving. Mamma Mia also gave me the same "good feeling" as watching the musical "Grease". Go see it again and again. You will not be disappointed.
