Mamma Mia! (2008)

I will start this by saying I did not see this out of necessity or choice. I mean, it's a musical, and it's not Once. Either way, not good.

The movie follows Donna (Streep) get ready for her daughter Sophie's (Amanda Seyfried) wedding. Unbeknownst to Donna, Sophie has read her old diary and found out there are three gentlemen suitors who could have been her mother. So she invites the three (Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård) to attend the wedding under the guise that Donna invited them. Oh yeah, they break into song on occasion. Donna eventually finds the gents and doesn't know how they showed up. Hijinx do ensue, don't you worry.

This movie was predictable, boring and, you got it, musical. These are the conventional type of musicals that really haven't been good since the 60s and 70s. You want to know what made this movie worse? It was all ABBA songs, and they didn't even sing "Fernando."
