Late home tonight as it was movies night.
I went to see Mamma Mia with my parents, first time they have been to the cinema for about 25 years, since a rainy week long holiday in Cornwall forced them into a local cinema to dry off and warm up. My sister and brother in law came to.
The film was excellent in a very musical, tongue in cheek kind of way. It was based on a Greek comedy, complete with Greek chorus. My dad was even seen singing along. The desire to sing along, even as a non ABBA fan, was irresistable. The audiende clapped at the end of each song, and hey pretty much got a standing ovation at the end of the movie.
Great fun, go see it. Even if you dont like ABBA, just go see it NOW, and I bet you dont come out of there without a smile!
this is one of the only plays i've ever seen, which ended up being great... it's funny to think of ol' Pierce taking a stab at singing, yeeesh
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you he was an awful singer, but strangely it added to the film rather than detracted. When he started singing the whole Greek chorus had a little laugh.
ReplyDeleteI had a strange power for sure, I dont even like musicals and I am hooked!
