Dancing Queen (No not me)

mm2

I have to say, if your feeling blue and need a pick up then pop in the just released Mamma Mia DVD, it is sure to put a smile on your face. Fun, funny, and in parts moving you will find yourself smiling and crying from some of the more touching scene. I never even heard an ABBA song before I saw the show, so goes to show you don't have be a fan to enjoy the movie. mm5

The story: Girl thinks she needs her dad to walk her down the isle at her wedding. Girl has three possible dads, so she invites them all to the wedding in hopes of finding the right daddy for lasting happiness. Then there are some great musical numbers. Including a  'Dancing Queen' number that ends in dozens of women of all ages along a dock. If a Greek Grandmother dancing along to ABBA doesn't put a smile on your face, seek medical help. As with all good musicals their is a revelation and that leads to a happy ending. Turns out girl doesn’t need dad to giver her a way, she asks her mom, that brings a tear to my eye.

 

mm4Meryl Streep is fantastically fun and funny playing Donna the mother of the bride.

mm3  By the end of this movie you will want to take a vacation on some small Greek island and find some Greek man, or is that just me?

Oh and if you have seen the show, they though in an extra song, and a twist to the ending that i think you will enjoy.

So take a chance on Mamma Mia! (Pun totally intended!)
