Mamma Mia! (movie)

Managed to watch this over the weekend. Slightly better than "Across the Universe" in treating classic music although not by much. The singing is okay although Brosnan sounds like a constipated cow. The setting on a Greek island is idyllic and ultimately boring.

If there were more sequins and spandex such as the "Donna & The Dynamos" performances, this would have been a whole lot more enjoyable. As it is, there is just too much lingering around doing nothing. The ABBA stuff sounds pretty much like their original arrangements, with only bits of acapella first verse and new guitar solos thrown in here and there. Hey! Why mess with perfection? Only has one song I haven't heard before - Slippin' Through My Fingers. Half expect a line from the classic soap "Lace" - "which one of your bastards is my father?" 4 out of 10.
