This Movie is a Great 4K Transfer from the Regular Blu-Ray and looks more Crisp and Sharp and Vivid with more Natural Colors and the Movie is Really Good also.

If you love Abba and a fabulous cast, you will enjoy this movie. Aesthetically it is beautiful to watch, it's a lot of fun! You should definitely watch this movie as the prequel to part 2. It is so worth the money, try to get the anniversary edition with blueray and the digital download...enjoy!

Bought the CD as soon as it came out and enjoy the songs a lot. Fun to sing to. After viewing the movie, said -"can't wait till the DVD comes out, I'm buying it." I enjoy watching a movie sometimes that you don't have to concentrate on 100% so you don't miss some important event. This is a movie you can play and clean house to or some other project. Enthusiastic music, lively, peppi. Even if you don't enjoy musicals you can enjoy this one.
What's great about it: Leaves you feeling good, songs to enjoy after movie, young girl great singer
What's not so great: Acting kinda hokie, singing by adults not professional, but sincere,real

My wife and her friends originally saw this in the theater on a girl's night out. They really enjoyed it. I got it for her on DVD because she likes the movie a lot.

Forget the critics, forget the ABBA haters. This is a joyful, fun and even moving version of the stage bonanza. The Greek Island locations couldn't be more perfect. As for those who say the stars can't sing? Meryl is dynamite. Her Winner Takes It All is amazing. And what fun she has throughout the film. Baranski is a well known Broadway Musical Star and she can sing. Brosnan? He's got a gruff sound, but he sure acts the songs wonderfully. Watching MAMMA MIA is like observing a great party that you wish you were invited to.

This movie wasn’t terrible, but it was still a major disappointment. I am a HUGE Abba fan and I can honestly say that this movie is an injustice to their music. Casting was completely WRONG When I heard that Meryl Streep was in this, I immediately thought “Huh… I didn’t know Meryl Streep could sing.” And guess what? SHE CAN’T! And Pierce Bronson’s voice was so grating! But at least he’s semi-pretty. So I can forgive him. But there was one thing that really bothered me. Donna was in her FORTIES when she gave birth to Sophie! Why was she disowned? Shouldn’t her mother be glad that’s her daughter finally gave her a grandchild? She probably had given up hope! And the dot, dot, dot bit was cute. But less cute when you realize it’s a forty year old woman writing that! And her lovers were in their twenties! But of course, they never bring that up, despite how ridiculous it looks in the film. I mean, you can REALLY tell Meryl Streep’s age. Who was the makeup artist for this film?
I’ve read reviews that this movie takes place in the 1980’s. If that’s so, then you;ll have to ignore the modern clothes, modern language, and the popularity of the internet! Someone messed up. And the character of Donna was so obnoxious. Even more so, running around in those baggy overalls. What ugly costumes! Meryl Streep seriously needs to think about aging with dignity. It seemed like she was mimicking a 3 year old child in this. She looked even more ridiculous b/c she was acting beside Christine Baranksi, the epitome of talent, beauty, & sophistication. In fact, the only mature actress who could get away with Donna’s silliness would be Diane Keaton. She’s talented and lovable. Streep is not.
Then randomly at the end, Colin Firth likes men? Okay, so he did say that he hasn’t love another woman since Donna and he has dogs instead of children – but I wouldn’t call those hints. He usually does a better job at choosing roles, so it’s shocking that this movie was so bad. I’m an Abba fan, and I still disliked this film. But the movie does redeem itself at the end, when Colin Firth dancing in Abba attire. If I had to recommend this movie, it would only be for that scene alone. Amanda Seyfried gave a great performance. Her fiancé was a little off. But Christine Baranski definitely stole the show! She has never looked so good! The most talented actors come from Buffalo, NY! She can brighten up the cruddiest movies! Her character was a good one to play. I love, love, love musicals, but this was disappointing. The actors couldn’t sing, nor dance. I can’t believe this was theatrical. It really seemed like a made for TV movie. Even the extras were just “blah.” I can sing along without any help. However, this is the type of movie my grandmother would enjoy. And if you’re mad at your boyfriend, make him sit through this. HA! That will fix him!
What's great about it: Christine Baranki is so talented! Best scene is the ending scene with Colin Firth on stage with the rest of the cast!
What's not so great: Everything else. No one can sing. Meryl Streep was WRONGLY casted. Producers fell asleep on the job.
