Just when you think finally expelled the infernally view Fang songs of ABBA your head, here is “Mamma Mia!” The Movie “for the new installation again.
Based on the success in musicals, which ten years ago in London and has apparently never stopped running, “Mamma Mia!” The Movie “is a very big galumphing hoot. It is a classic example of this kind of film in which the casting seems a much better time for the public. And yet there is flabbergasting causes you to look. How often do you to see Meryl Streep little crazy themselves? She is so good that they actress, it is a madness part of his work. It appears on the joke, it’s easy to rise much more. Now if I only clear what the joke is .
Streep plays Donna, a U.S. superannuated hippies, the past 20 years or led to a hotel connected distance on a Greek island. His daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is to marry, and without the knowledge of his mother, has mailed calls on the three men in the past by Donna, which they suspected of his father. When the men come to the island, because no had no contact with Donna decades, which quickly dealt with the flies. Sophie believe to know that her real father, his life will eventually fall. The problem is, Donna do not even quite sure. (Since the film happened in 1999, probably due to the DNA analysis was not an option, or even the whole shebang could lead to an episode of “Dr. Phil.)
The three possible fathers, are so stupid, a businessman Sam (Pierce Brosnan), the gadabout Bill (Stellan Skarsgård), banker and Harry (Colin Firth). At one time or another are all convinced that Sophie was born.
The men are the colleagues of Donna best friends visit Rosie (Julie Walters), an eternal wisecracker, divorced, series and Tanya (Christine Baranski). The three women were once a member of a group of pop as “Donna and the dynamo,” and they have even further than Rocker. In a madcap scene in particular, the band together and lead, which, as in the entire female population of the island into a zündenden Protocol “Dancing Queen”. “Mamma Mia” is the Loopy as a Bollywood musical comedy.
It was not a woman-centric film, because “Sex and the City.” (The pipes per minute ratio is approximately the same.) Director Phyllida Lloyd, Catherine Johnson, scriptwriter and co-producer Judy Craymer are all former fighters of the “Mamma Mia” show and they know how the figures despite the fact that the Most members of the distribution is not the tips and appear to be in possession of two or even three left foot.
For fans of these things, I would like to point out that this film is very thin in society “Paint Your Wagon” - the Star Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin tonelessly warbling - or “Long Last Love”, which is approximately at the Hollywood Genre soured for years. No, see “Mamma Mia!” The Movie “, as it stifled the hearts and flowers. Streep definitely his former college try, even Baranski and Walters, which are experienced singers / dancers. How good it is, they are all looking to the end, as well as extravagant, that all Lovers in the world. But poor Pierce Brosnan. Sport is that he is doing his best to a song and dance man, but that is not in him. It is touching terrible.
The same might say, quite the film. The sensual, water landscape Greek atmosphere sun melted his appearance, even if the ABBA songs will be sustained. Is it a “Dancing Queen” I hear you sing?
