Mamma Mia - my reivew



I went to see the stage show about two years ago. A treat from a friend. I thought the stage show was fantastic, but for me the film was even better.


It has a feel good factor about it, which probably has to do with the songs, and the view of the gorgeous Greek islands and sea. Made me want to pack my bags and go and join the cast. Not that my singing is any good mind you. There have been mixed reviews about the casts singing but for me I felt that it fitted in so well with the story telling. It’s a story of a girl getting married to her true love, being brought up by her mother on a greek island, not knowing who her father is but wanting him at her wedding. From reading her mothers diary there are three possible fathers, and so she invites all three without her mother knowing.


Very well cast, and very well received by the audience. I have heard that some cinema audiences actually got up and sung and danced to the songs. But in Crawley we were a bit more reserved.


I cant wait for it to come out on DVD as it’s a film I could certainly watch again and again and sign along to the songs in the comfort of my own home (so no one can hear me!)


Definitely recommend you seeing it, whether a guy or a gal.
