Movie: Mamma Mia

[amedia]

The Greek-island scenery was magnificent.

Meryl Streep can do anything.

Christine Baranski is even more awesome than I already realized.

I'm ashamed that I did not recognize Molly Weasley Julie Walters.

Pierce Brosnan's singing is bearable as long as the chorus is drowning him out.

For a movie made up of ABBA's hits, I was surprised how few of the songs I recognized. (And I listened to the radio a LOT in the 70's.)

TODS' observation: "This is a chick flick. I mean, the estrogen is washing around our ankles."

One of the songs I recognized wasn't listed in the credits. I'm pretty sure the "wedding march" was a riff on "Knowing Me, Knowing You," which was a break-up song - perhaps intended to foreshadow the outcome of the wedding?

Anyway, it was fun and frothy, and I really, really liked the scenery.
