mamma mia, here i go again...

...my my. how can i resist you.

i may be the last person, or not to catch the hyped up movie. and i must say i enjoyed it tremendously.

set on a colorful greek island, the plot serves as a background for a wealth of great abba songs which are used in remarkably appropriate ways. a young woman about to be married discovers that any one of three men could be her father. she invites all three to the wedding without telling her mother, donna who was once the lead singer of donna and the dynamos. In the meantime, donna has invited her backup singers, rosie and tanya. Written by jojo.acapulco@gmail.com - summary taken from www.imdb.com.

meryl strepp does a wonderful job at potraying donna, who freaks out when she finds out that three of her ex boyfriends (all of whom she slept with) are on the island just in time for her daughter's wedding. see, one of these men may be the father of her child.

her two best friends, rosie (played by julie walters) & tanya (hilariously played by christine baranski) are her wonderful back up singers - the dynamos in their group, donna & the dynamos. they do a mean & comical rendition of chiquitita, dancing queen, super trouper, dancing queen & waterloo. and all the while, it had me singing along. cheesy yeah, but who cares!!

didn't quite like the idea of pierce brosnan in a musical (didn't like him in remington steele or james bond either). i mean he's got the smoldering eyes, he's okay in the looks department but that man cannot sing lah. then he takes of his shirt. alamak!! terkejut beruk.. anyways, colin firth & stellan skarsgård are a hilarious duo. and watch out for this trio in an ala elvis bling-ed overalls singing waterloo.

a feel good romantic comedy musical that will for sure have you singing along to those good ole abba songs (those who grew up listening to them lah). now, to get tickets for the west end musical that is coming to town. sing along now, you know you want to....

note: thank god tom hanks decided to be the exec producer & not take on the lead role. can you just imagine him singing. him as robert langdon in the da vinci code was scary enough (its the hair i tell you!!)
