Seagazer Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm desperate to see it. I might try and go this weekend, everyone I know has been to see it and raved about the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygal Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 HI! I saw it last week and thought it was ace too! Totally agree that its brilliant and I'm not even a fan of Abba particularly. It just has such a feel good thing going on throughout doesn't it and it just makes you want to live life to the full. I loved it (loved Pierce and Colin too- my friends and I couldn't decide which one we would go for ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (loved Pierce and Colin too- my friends and I couldn't decide which one we would go for ) Colin every time Is an ace film - i love Abba anyway but its a real funny, feel good film. I'd see it again in a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 We went on Sunday afternoon and it is just the best feel good film ever. I would quite happily go and see it again and will probably even buy the DVD, which I never normally do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Glad to hear that it so good. I hope to go and see it next week with a girlfriend OH would prob be going throughout if i took him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basset Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I agree it was fab. I went to see as a girlie night out and we had a ball!!! It was ridiculous and corney BUT so funny and we laughed from start to finish. I've been playing ABBA non-stop ever since. My vote is for Piers Brosnan.

HennyPenny Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I went last night with the girls from work - end of term treat for tired teachers and TAs - and it was terrific! I defy anyone to walk out of the cinema without a huge smile on their face!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Oh really want to see this as saw the musical last year and loved it!!!!.. thanks for the reviews I get there soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I saw the musical in London last year on a trip and insisted on taking the whole family to it the other night. I actually think it was a good in the cinema as the original musical was. The kids have been raving about it ever since, asking if they can go see it again! Def one I would see again and will most certainly buy the dvd when it is available - it is now a family classic! I loved Meryl Streep's singing too!

BeckyBoo Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm definitely going to see it, hopefully this weekend. Trouble is I've sort of arranged to go with a couple of girlfriends, then my MUm of all people announced she wanted to see it, then my Dad decided he wanted to go (they're not together so that's not an option) and OH likes a good chick flick every now and then so he wants to see it too! I might end up seeing it 4 times! As long as I don't have to pay every time I don't mind, if it's as good as everyone says I'll definitely be buying the DVD, whenever there's nothing on TV (fairly often ) we put on Notting Hill or Love Actually or something like it. Feelgood films, they're great Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I loved it too. Corney, easy, funny... whatever. The thing is everyone came out of the cinema smiling! Such a sweet film. Beautiful scenery - I'm now totally into blues! Want to re-decorate my house ...and to go back to Greece for holidays...! What a beautiful place. And plenty of 'eye candy' for everyone too Ana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HennyPenny Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I really went because it was filmed on the island we're going to for our holiday in three weeks! Really can't wait to go there now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm going to see it tomorrow night! Can't wait. I'm a huge Abba fan anyway so it'll be interesting to hear others sing their songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that film is one that got all my emotions going, went to see it with my daughter, sister and mum. We laughed, we cried. Especially the Emma Thompson bit when she realises the necklace wasn't for her and she goes into her bedroom. It actually made the back of my throat hurt, you know when you're going to cry sometimes (or perhaps thats just me ) We watch it just before Christmas each year and often through the year. We are complete DVD addicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the bit where the little lad jumps up into his Dads arms, then when it's the squares of shots of people at the airport - I'm a real soft touch these days Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whittlewitch Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Gonna have to see this film, I have heard so many raving reports on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I really enjoyed Mamma Mia, despite the very contrived plot. I thought Meryl Streep was excellent. Colin Firth was gorgeous as usual even though he can't dance, and Pierce's singing was rather painful at times, but you have to admire his bravery. A very enjoyable feel-good movie.

HennyPenny Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I did find myself rather confused by Pierce Brosnan's strange accent...was he trying to sound American and not doing very well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callyfc Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It was the best film Ive seen for ages! Im going back next week, to take my kids! Piers Brosnan singing was the funniest thing Ive seen for years, Ive been out and bought the CD ,something I never usually do, cant wait for the DVD! I cant stop singing!

The Dogmother Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Rosie and I loved it when we went last week - I laughed fit to burst my stitches and would have danced in the aisles had I been able A friend has just asked whether I want to see it again as she wants to go... you betcha!

Sunshine Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I havn't seen it yet but we are hopefully going this weekend when it is forecast rain. When my cousin saw it some old ladies got up in the middle and went down to the front near the screen and were dancing all the way throughthe rest of it. She said it was funny to start off with but then got quite annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Just got back from seeing it with my OH, daughter (2nd time) and 10 year old. It was fantastic, funny, had everyone in stitches. Daughter says she wants to see it again - if I can get a babysitter I'm going to see it again. Loved it. The bit where all the women were dancing on the jetty gave me goosebumps - I'd love to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
