I managed to watch MAMMA MIA the Movie 2 weeks ago (well, since I cant afford to go check out the musical, the movie's as close as it gets) and the only thing I can say is that it was very entertaining
The singing, well, lets say that to sing ABBA's songs, you've gotta be able to sing... so with Merryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan singing not evenclose to ABBA's standard... well... you know what I mean
Anyways, I enjoyed the movie whole heartedly and I'd watch it again and again... but some people I've spoken to, dont share the same sentiment... why? well, here's why...
1. When a musical uses songs from an original artiste, the performers should be able to sound as close as they can to the original song.
2. James Bond should never sing... it just makes a mockery out of 007
3. And when a movie is a musical, its always better to have original music scores, songs and lyrics... cuz then the audience cant compare the music to the original artistes and enjot it more
So have you seen MAMMA MIA? what did you think?  _________________ Happy, Healthy & Bubbly  |

I saw it the 1st week it was shown and like you, I enjoyed it very much. I'm not a fan of Pierce but I must say that I liked him in Mamma Mia. I think it showed a less 'stuffier' side of him.
Don't know if you read the write up about it in the papers? Well, apparently the Director who directed the movie is the same Director who directed the musical and according to those who have seen the musical, the movie was a big let down. I was also thinking of catching the musical but... budget lari lah
And... I wanna go to that island!!! |
