I Like It I Don't Like It
hey kids! i seriously cannot pass up any movie musicals - even if i think it might be awful - that's why i took myself to an early morning showing of mamma mia! over at arclight cinemas (i made sure to pick a seat in the back) and i must say it's not the best flick ever but it was pretty enjoyable overall - i especially loved meryl streep (without her the movie would blow) who isn't the best singer around but she's a complete joy to watch up on the silver screen! (the only truly painful moment was when ms. streep sings 'the winner takes it all' which seemed to last forever...) i also really liked christine baranski & julie waters who played ms. streep's friends from the past - the guys were ok as well but i think pierce brosnan shouldn't be allowed to sing anymore - he's charming and all that jazz but vocally - not so great! in the end i'd say if you wanted to see this movie you should totally go but i wouldn't talk anyone into seeing it and although i enjoyed myself i doubt you'll catch me anytime soon watching the stage version of the musical - one time around with mamma mia! was enough! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

  • Meryl Streep is a legend in our time. She has amazing talent all across the board....and can she sing???? She certainly can and she belts it out. Is there anything she can't do? This is the most "feel good" movie I can ever remember seeing. I saw it once already and will definitely see it again as soon as I can. I saw the play and wondered how they could make a movie adaptation and get away with it. But, anyone that doesn't think this is the a wonderful movie has to have a heart of steel. This movie made me laugh out loud and cry. I wasn't prepared at all for the crying part so next time I will be sure to bring plenty of Kleenex. A++++++. Meryl has done it again.
