Here we go again ...

Mamma Mia! Does the mention of anything Abba-ish ship yous cringing to a corner? Or are yous already joining in and dancing on the tabletops? Maybe another few drinks . . .

In short, if you are not allergic to Abba, book your tickets at present. If you lot are, why would yous be reading this? At a compression, it is worth seeing for Meryl Streep alone, who not only throws herself headlong into every refrain with unashamed gusto, but adds a touch of class and nuance to what otherwise could be a one-dimensional adaptation. Streep vacillates engagingly between playing herself and not taking herself too seriously. Pierce Brosnan simply most keeps up, and manages more expressions than he ever did as James Bond. Colin Firth and Julie Waters trail backside somewhat. Yet Mama Mia! is a roller coaster of emotion, careering colourfully from the blue waters of the Adriatic, bursting 'like Aphrodite'due south Fountain' into the lives of Donna (Meryl) , her lovers and friends, and her presently-to-be-midweek girl. Information technology is the party spirit that says kick your shoes off and sing silly cheesy songs. Altogether at present.

And yeah – there'due south a story. Donna's daughter Sophie is getting married. To the buff-looking Sky. Only – where's her dad? She'due south never met him. A sneak-peek at Mom'due south diary shows Mom had 3 lovers before Sophie was born and Sophie secretly invites all of them. This is a film of threesomes. Iii past lovers (Sam, Bill and Harry). Three close friends (Donna and 2 best pals). And, not to be outdone, Sophie meets up with two other young girls at the showtime of the film.

The breakneck footstep nevertheless allows for brilliantly put together shots. Like Streep doing a 'Titanic' with drapes blowing in the wind. Or a pier-load of young hunky stag dark crew doing a dance in trunks and deep-dive flippers. Moonlit boats and beaches to "I Have a Dream." Filmed on location, the views won't disappoint. And like a favourite song whose ending we know, the drama is in the details and execution.

As with many adapted-from-phase musicals, two immature leads are played past talented singers, and the older parts past serious actors can sing well plenty. Streep manages extremely well. Her functioning is so professional and assured it leaves others standing. Fortunately, it is perhaps like shooting fish in a barrel to paper over any cracks in musical comedy. Sweeney Todd relied heavily on Depp's charisma and stunning cinematography. Beyond the Universe, also heavily on the songs. Mamma Mia!, on the other mitt, simply tailors everything to its joyous headlong rush. The songs fit naturally to the action. Streep fifty-fifty manages to sing them with her tongue firmly in cheek. She confesses to having been a "stupid reckless fiddling slut" but then says she "grew up". (To which her pals chinkle in, "Well grow dorsum down again!") The film is not without faults. There is a notable lack of chemistry between the people that throw themselves rapturously against each others' faces. Even Streep looks less than convincing in a brief lips-mash. And the men are a fleck cracked in the singing department (Hugh Grant might even have been a preferable casting option). And some of the fourth dimension-line is wobbly. For example, strange as it may seem, music from more twenty years agone does not all come from the same era. And then reminiscing about blossom power (early sixties) in the same breath as a Johnny Rotten t-shirt (Sex Pistols, mid-late seventies) is either anachronistic or wishful thinking.

Sadly, I am of a generation that can recollect Abba-mania. The records would shoot to number 1. Notwithstanding even then few people would admit to buying them. I used to manage a night guild, and Abba was groovy music to ask a girl up to dance. My entire conversation-up repertoire at that time consisted of, "Would you lot like to trip the light fantastic toe?" and "Do you want to come up back for a java?" But girls would be so happy dancing to Mamma Mia they'd say yes anyhow. I'd fall in love with a new girl each week. Ah, those were the days! Now at that place's a new generation of Abba fans who have no demand to 'come out of a cupboard'. Abba is retro-chique. Even Madonna segued an Abba riff into i of her songs. From karaoke to hen nights. From '70s' nights to gay trip the light fantastic-floors. Apparel up. Camp it up. Sing it upward. Get sassy and cheesy. Or, if y'all're erstwhile enough to recall, fly dorsum in time to wonderful memories.

Mamma Mia!, whatsoever detractors might say, has been one of the well-nigh successful stage shows of recent times. Supported by the same director and original band members, the motion picture may well reach the similar fan bases. Or merely the party spirit in all of united states of america.
