When you borrow a movie from the DVD shop, you just hope that it is going to be a goodie. Well, I was totally unprepared for the level of joy I felt watching Mamma Mia! It was simply fantasmagorical!
Meryl Streep, who played the main character, Donna, did the most amazing job and her version of "Winner Takes It All" was stunning. As a professional performing artist I have to say that the way Meryl completely sold this song and made it emotionally believable was deeply satisfying and deepened my respect for her as an actress and singer!
The whole cast were exceptional and I have no hesitation in recommending this quirky film as completely entertaining, enjoyable, joyous and exuberant.
Five star rating from me for a feel good flick that is ALL action from start to finish.
The cast completely owned the Abba songs and did an exceptional job of pulling off some of the most famous songs in history. Well done!
