So last night I went to see this movie with my good friend farrah.  I had never seen any Mama Mia anything.  I like musicals so I was excited about it but I didn't know anything about the story line or really much about the music.  All in all it wasn't quite as good as I thought it would be.  I liked it but it's not a favorite.  There were some parts of the movie that were just GREAT, and I thought to myself, "I love this movie."  Then there were several parts I just felt a bit board because it was too cheesy.  The singing was Fantastic except for Pierce Brosnan.  I do like Pierce, though he wasn't a horrible, he really wasn't a good one either.  Amanda Seyfried on the other hand, who played Sophie and is the girl on the above poster,  was amazing.  She has such a beautiful voice.  I would like to get the cd, but I won't be buying the movie.  As for how many stars I would give it, I have no idea.  Like I said it was a lot of back and fourth for me.  Knowing what I know now, I would still have seen it.

I love musicals. The downside is the music gets stuck on my head for weeks.

I really want to see this movie, and I knew it would be a "chick flick" to see with my girl friends. Maybe I'll just wait to rent it?! We'll see-it's so rare to see a movie in the theater these days!

I can agree with your list of reason why you love Oregon. I don't think I could really come up with 33, but I do love and miss tillamook ice cream!

Man, if I would have known you were thinking about this I would have warned you of the cheesiness. The play, also full of cheese, is MARVELOUS!! One of my all time favorites! It was really hard to concentrate for me whenever Pierce would sing because I was with my very musically gifted friend and he would start to laugh and then we all would. I don't think our neighboring movie goers appreciated us very much!!!

I loved the musical when I went but there were some preaty racey parts. I wasn't sure how questionable the movie would be. Glad you liked it.

I loved it, but I have been up for any cheezy girlie movie after the last 5 guys-action-marvel-movies Ryan has chosen. We saw it at the drive-in after Wall.E Another awesome movie by Disney.

I went and saw this movie with my girlfriend in Utah. I love musicals and thought it was worth seeing. I didnt know anything about Mama Mia when I went to see it either but I definitly wasnt disappointed. glad you liked it too. Oh yeah Pierce Brosnan can not sing at all but he is very handsome!
Thanks for the award ;)
