I saw Mama Mia last night with some family members and I thought I would give a brief overview and my opinion of the movie. I believe that the movie will do well solely based upon the facts that the play is such a success on Broadway and a lot of people want to see Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan sing. The movie starts out cute, with the main character telling her close friends that she invited her three possible fathers. That is where the cuteness ends. The singing is just acceptable and the acting below average. If you think that you are going to like seeing any of the leading men, you will be disappointed. Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth both have gained weight since the movies that made them immortal.
None of the actors involved are truly talented singers. This said, the combination of all of the voices is able to pull of what may prove to be a fairly successful soundtrack; the movie Once made it right?
If you want to see this movie, I would wait until it comes to a discount theatre or dvd or at least see it as a matinee.
