Mamma Mia

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2964/mammamia3kg7.jpgEntertaining and filled with lots of great Abba songs, this film is very much the stage musical put on celluloid.  The Greek island setting is almost as false for its excessive beauty as stage scenery, the characters are pretty one dimensional and it is left to Meryl Streep http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/439/mammamia1av0.jpgwith her undoubted talent and the ever humorous Julie Walters to breathe a bit of spontaneity into the show.  It could have been a really creative and goose bump generating film as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was.  It ends up a noble and technically very exact musical and is also entertaining but is very much, as I said, a musical with all that implies.http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9058/mammamia2df5.jpg
