My personal view on this movie!

DH & I went to see Mamma Mia when this first came out which was 10 days ago at 00.01am.  it was a very late night and the film finished around 02.10am so we arrived home just before 3am and as you can imagine went straight to  sleep. 

Ok, the film, as well as being a musical,  is also a romantic comedy, very funny in places and on quite a few occasions the few of us that were in the cinema were laughing quite a bit during some of the scenes.

On the other hand, I felt it was a shame that some "crude" language had to be added especially in the first hour of the film plus, there were two scenes again, verging on the point of crudeness. - To be honest this kind of spoilt it for me in some ways. 

The storyline was very good and with a slightly added twist towards the end . The singing from Merly Streep, Pierce Brosnan (excuse spelling here), Colin Firth and Julie Waters was good even though they are not singers as such!

Would I recommend the film?
Yes I would but please take note of comments I made above.  Considering this film is PG, I dont think this is suitable for children or teenagers - if the language and sex references were taken out, then the film would be fine.

I am not sure if I would go and see it again but the music was great. I guess being an avid ABBA fan anyways I could listen to their music anywhere.

When the film comes out where you are and you do go & see it, please let us know what you think.
