I LOVE MAMA MIA!


I had a date night with my mom...yes, my mom.
We went to go see the Broadway musical turned movie "MAMA MIA", today, at Boise's Egyptian theater, downtown. It was a blast!
It seemed like most of the "Women" in there new old ABBA songs making up the musical portion of the film. People in the theater were laughing, cheering, but mostly...smiling.
I realized, as the credits came up on screen, letting us know it was (unfortunately) over, I had been smiling the entire time! I couldn't stop smiling...it was that good. In fact, I haven't seen a movie that good in a long time. It's definitely a must buy! I give it ***** stars!
I remember hearing my sisters dancing to the ABBA music as a child. My favorite song, of course, was "Dancing Queen". What a great song. It was amazing in the film as well.
I loved how all the ABBA songs fit so well into the screen play and dialogue of the film. It was like those songs were written for the story line...AMAZING!
The dancing, along with the incredible music, was also extremely moving. The hot bodies of the young male dancers were a strong match for the beautiful voices and moves of the young...and old-er female performers. And might I add, MERYL STREEP was fabulous! She is stunning in every film she does. But this hit the top for me! She is such an amazing actress. She's the kind of actress that you forget it's her playing the part because every part she plays she makes it feel so real! All of her mannerisms and movements are like music for her lines. She is truly brilliant! And this film, MAMA MIA! just topped off her acting career with a cherry!
And her two friends in the film, Julie Walters and Christine Baranski, were amazing! To say the least! Those three women truly were "DYNAMOS"! I left the film wanting to be just like them someday...like, tomorrow!
It's obvious I loved it and I totally recommend every species of the female sex to go and see this movie. You wont regret it! Even the fact that it's a musical will not have you falling asleep. I promise you'll like it. And if you don't, for some strange reason, I'll promise you at least got a good laugh out of it. Enjoy!
