About Mamma Mia
Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan star in the tale of a young bride who schemes to discover the identity of her father by inviting three of her mother's former suitors to attend the wedding.
Critics' Reviews
"If Mamma Mia! didn't have the delectableness of ABBA's music — those percolating disco-pop arias of romance Bubble Wrapped in melancholy — we could toss it onto the trash heap of Hollywood musical follies, right up there with 'Xanadu' and 'Paint Your Wagon.'"—EW.com1
"If received in the spirit in which it is offered (and a few spirits may help), then Mamma Mia! is sure to leave you smiling. It lacks finesse, subtlety and sophistication of any kind, but then that shouldn't trouble anybody who loves ABBA."—Channel 4 Film2
