I had a lovely evening at the movies yesterday with a friend. We saw Mamma Mia! The Movie, the musical turned in to a movie. The film was actually really good. It was really reallly funny, sometimes a bit corny, but I love corny... Sometimes I wish life would be like a musical, start a song when you want to tell something.
And Meryl Streep was actually really a good singer and she was very funny as well. And it was nice to see an American actress look (close, anyway) like her own age. Some scene's in the movie are hilarious, like Chrsitine Baranski's take on "Does Your Mother Know?" Or when cast, in the end sings "Waterloo", in full 70s outfit. Oh. My. And Julie Waters has some really funny scene's with Stellan Skarsgård. And my personal favorite, Colin Firth, is always a joy to watch. And he sings, with Pierce Brosnan, "Our Last Summer" very good.
It's a great movie celebrating the middle age woman! And how often do we see that?
And even though I have been an ABBA fan since 1973 (Ring Ring) I hadn't seen the musical, so it was really nice to see the movie. Not a "deep" movie, just pure entertainment.
