Mamma Mia! (DVD) Reviews

I absolutely loved this film when it came out last year, so much so, I went to see the normal one at the cinema and the sing-a-long one (take note: don't sit next to tone deaf auntie next time). A beautifully delivered film is not what you get. Cheese on toast would be a more appropriate description but it is such a feel good film you ...  Read the complete review

I watched this on my birthday, was having a chill out evening at home with tasty dinner and a glass of wine and fancied something fun and frivolous. This certainly hit the button. I am a big fan of musicals and I also love Abba so I knew from the start this was going to be my kind of film. It is set on a gorgeous Greek ...  Read the complete review

Last Christmas, my mum asked for Mamma Mia! on DVD because my dad wouldn't let her rent it. Come Christmas day and after eating copiously and drinking similarly we sat down (dad excluded) to watch (mercifully not the sing-a-long version). I was apprehensive. I'm not good with musicals and I'm definitely not good with Abba. Begrudgingly ...  Read the complete review

Produced by Universal Pictures and released in 2008 it has already become the highest-grossing film of all time beating classics liek Titanic to the post. It has a star studded cast with Meryl Streep in the leading role alongside: Colin ...  Read the complete review

If you're looking for a feel good film, this is the answer. With an all star cast including Pierce Brosnan, Meryl Streep, Julie Walters and Colin Firth, this film will make you laugh, occasionally cry (or maybe that's just me) and finish feeling bouyant and happy. Having seen the stage show at the West End for my 18th Birthday, and ...  Read the complete review

Mamma Mia is such a feel good, fun film - I have watched it quite a few times since I bought the DVD and would highly recommend it for a girly night in (and a guys night in too maybe). I have seen the West End musical and wasn't a huge fan I have to say - I found it slow and a little boring. But this film is the complete opposite for me - the ...  Read the complete review

Mamma Mia is a movie which was adapted on the Musical with the same name, which in turns is based on Abba's songs. The plot is relatively simple. Sophie is 20 years old, she is still at home, living with her mum somewhere in the Mediterranean sea on a Greek island. Sophie plans to marry Sky, but she does not know who her father is. She ...  Read the complete review

I hate that I am admitting to not hating this film!!! I thought this was going to be far too cheesy and would make me cringe over and over again. In fact it was my boyfriend who forced me to watch it thinking it would be fun, and I found myslef singing along (cringe). I loved the fact that they did not dub the singing voices of the actors because ...  Read the complete review

There have been loads of different opinions on this film. But personally i think it ia absolutely fabulous. I saw it at the cinema and also have it on DVD. It is hardly ever out of my DVD player. It is quite cheesy but i you need a good cheesy film now and again. It has a really good story line, brilliant actors and brilliant ...  Read the complete review

What a brilliant DVD this is. I first saw the film at the cinema and enjoyed it so much that I had to have to DVD. When the DVD arrived I was delighted to discover that it had a sing a long version included. It puts the song lyrics along the bottom and highlights as you sing. This makes for fantastic family entertainment. I have ...  Read the complete review

I lent this off a friend after I'd been told how good it was. I didn't fancy buying it as it seemed to cheesy for me. But, WOW was I wrong. PLOT Directed by Phyllida Lloyd Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) reads her mother's diary and finds out she could have three possible father's. She decides to invite all three to her wedding to ...  Read the complete review

I'm not the greatest of Musical lovers, nor the greatest of Abba fans, but having been coerced by my girlfriend to watch this, I have to say it was a bit of fun. This stage to film adaptation is great to watch. It is a family film that is based on the story of a girl with no father, and the possibility that all three of the men could be ...  Read the complete review

You might quite rationally expect a film made out of songs by one band from the 1970's to be a little bitty and rather silly. Of course, that's exactly what Mamma Mia is, but despite this, it really is good fun. Abba songs are so uplifting Mamma Mia can't help but be a cheery and giggly way to spend a couple of hours. As well as this, it's very ...  Read the complete review

MAMMA MIA ! It is such a amazing film with a fantastic story line and the singing makes you want to get up and dance! Altough the singing is no were near as good as abba but they have great voices and this is a great summer film. I got this from amazon a few months ago and i was so pleased when it arrived i could not wait to put it in ...  Read the complete review

Ok, a very girly cheesy film - but what a joy to watch! All actors/actresses played a fantastic part i could not fault them. The music was great, the dancing was great. Just the type of film we needed - cheesy but not cringy! I felt that the whole team worked together as a family it was great to see so many famous ...  Read the complete review

I decided that I had to go and see this, being an Abba fan. I was slightly concerned with the mixed reviews that the film was receiving in the press, but decided these were from people who just didn't like Abba and went anyway. I didn't regret this at all, and loved it, even going back to see it a second time and then buying the DVD straight away ...  Read the complete review

If you love ABBA then this is the perfect film for you. It's such a feel good, sing-along and fun loving film that will leave you in high spirits afterwards. The film has such a great vibe and energy about it you can't help but feel excited and enthusiastic. You find your self laughing, singing and dancing all the way through and enjoying every ...  Read the complete review

As a fan of ABBA, I was both excited and cautious when I heard that the musical as being adapted for the silver screen - especially when I heard that it starred Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Amanda Siegfried (you might have seen her as Karen in Mean Girls), considering that their vocals don't exactly headline their acting ...  Read the complete review

I read with interest some of the reviews on here relating to Movies but somehow feel a bit left out. Why? Well I have Sky Movies etc but due to a busy (and often noisy) house I never actually feel in the mood to watch a long film. I never ever seem to be able to 'settle in' to one if you know what I mean. Well tonight was different. My ...  Read the complete review

Perhaps the most feel good movie ever! This is not one for a cynical person (unless you are trying to lighten them up!) If you like your movies happy and fun and with great songs then you will love this film! It is corny, cheesy unadulterated pop with a capital P. Also of course if you are an Abba fan this is a great film. It is ...  Read the complete review
