Oh man.
I went to see Sex & The City twice, but even I wouldn't go to Mama Mia.

I can take or leave ABBAs music to be honest but there is no denying they could write an outstanding pop tune. If you leave your cynisim at the door its a really enjoyable film.

I could just about take SATC. Purely because if you watched it, yu may score a few points with the ladies. Mamma Mia, on the other hand sounds like my idea of hell.
On the contrary i'd rather have my scrotum squeezed on a vice than go see SATC but i'd rent Mamma Mia when it comes out on dvd no problem , Always liked the odd ABBA tune
From what I've read and been told, it's good as musicals go.
Or to put it in layman's terms CR*PQuote:

Even if you are not Abba's greatest fan (I'm certainly not), I challenge you to watch this movie and not come out with a smile on your face! It's great fun.
I saw the play in London as a xmas present for the other half and must admit I really enjoyed the play.
However, went to the film version with herself last week and alot of it was cringeworthy. Pierce Brosnan and Firth were horrible singers and I felt sorry for them cause they were trying too hard. To a lesser extent the same could be said for Meryl Streep. The daughter was a brilliant singer and the best performance in the film by a mile.
I still enjoyed it a little, but as was already said you have to put all your cynicism to one side!
No self respecting bloke should go to either film if you have to try that hard to get "some" then you have serious problems.
Its allways a test i use for birds if they like SATC or think they are like one of the charactors then they are gotten rid of straight away.
The Mamma Mia stage show is different to the movie if you like ABBA songs they are sung well in the show so that would be enjoyable but the film is an abortion of a musical i cant see how anyone could enjoy it.
Nearly like my theory, only remove the of.Quote:

I only added the getting some bit as people where using that as an excuse for going to it. Its not an excuse.
I actually thought Pierce was really good in it. His singing isnt technically brilliant but its endearing none the less. I enjoyed this film more than "No country for old men".
Which I had to misfortune to see the other day on dvd again. A deffinite case of the emperor having no clothes.
