Mamma Mia! - an excellent movie.

I loved this movie, and would recommend it to anyone!  It's full of joy, fun, a real celebation of life.  It's a musical, set on a beautiful Greek Island, where a young woman is getting married, but wants to find out which of three men is her father, so she invites all three to her wedding to try to find the answer.

It's basically a comedy, with Abba songs interspersed, but it's really well done - not corny as you might imagine (well, perhaps a bit corny, but in a good way).  Meryl Streep, who plays the mother of the young woman, is fantastic, and the cast also includes Mr Darcy (aka Colin Firth from Bridget Jones and Pride and Prejudice) who as always is very sexy and plays one of the three possible fathers.  Another is played by Pierce Brosnan (ex James Bond).

I was never a great Abba fan (not the right age), but the songs seem to fit in really well, and the dancing is great, with amazing scenery.  I especially liked 'Our last summer' sung on the boat mainly by Colin Firth; 'Mamma Mia', a great avalanche of woman dancing down the hillside and then on a wharf and of course 'The Winner Takes It All'.  A tip though: don't leave before the credits!
