Mamma Mia


Mamma Mia, the movie that based on the blockbuster stage musical of the same name. It was shot in the beautiful small Greek islands of Skopelos and Skiathos among others, the island's picturesque scenery is a must-see and in addition to an already fun romantic musical. The scenery does makes you want to list down the Greek islands as your next choice for a holiday.

The real surprise here is Meryl Streep! She sings, she dances, she jumps around in cute blue costumes while her golden hair dancing together, making you think that where the hell did she get the energy from?? You will never expect this from her if you were to remember those serious character she have mostly acted, and not to mention her in Devils wears Prada.Another cast to mention is Christine Baranski as Tanya in the movie… She is a marvelous actress which acted in another musical movie Chicago. Make sure to catch her in the flirty and mischievous part in the song of “Does your mother know”.

The whole show is based on ABBA songs, mentioning it is a must. The fun musical started off with "Honey, Honey", then “Money, Money, Money”, “Mamma Mia” and not to miss the song; "Dancing Queen". (Well … Dancing Queen is already on my ringtone :)

The only bother of this show would be Pierce Brosnan's voice talent. I could see that he tried his very best for it but hmmm…. And I think the expression when singing those sentimental songs, esp to Meryl Streep is a bit off and not convincing. Nevertheless, I am glad she chosen him ...

Make sure to catch this movie that will take away your blues for sure.
