Mamma Mia!: Review By Diaigma

If you're in the mood for a high-octane musical with menopausal jokes, familiar actors and gorgeous Mediterranean scenery, this is the film for you!

It was an enjoyable film. Not bad at all. Impressive at best is the casting selection. Watching Pierce Brosnan sing reminded me of "Darby O-gill and the Little People" when Sean Connery sang. Since they were both Bonds at one point in time, I can see the connection.

The Good:

On-Location Filming. In a world of green and blue screen magic, it's refreshing to see a film that was made on location.

Casting. Not that it was difficult for any involved to act like their at a frat party, it was still fun to watch. If anything, it was believable. Who hasn't watched their parents act like kids around old friends?

Visuals. Makes me want to take a vacation. I envy all'yall!

The Bad:

Slow Motion. What's with the random slow-motion scenes? This is a fast-paced, dance-number-rich, musical extravaganza. Save the slow motion for blowing things up, war scenes, and car chases, not for jumping on beds and prancing through archways. What a distraction to the energy that is supposed to be represented.

While not a first choice for many, I would still recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the high-profile cast.

If you change your mind, I'll be first in line!
