After this, after "Movin' Out" (based on the deplorable songbook of one Willliam Joel), it's not even satire to suggest that the next big thing will be a musical inspired by the oeuvre of Howard Jones
Feb 18, 2009
...certain sequences are inherently far more affecting and engaging than others.
Feb 10, 2009
More fluff like "Mamma Mia!" than "Made of Honor" would make mid-year moviegoing a happier experience.

The infectious, decades-old ABBA songs on which the film is anchored are the only thing keeping it afloat.

A sage once advised being wary of movies in which the people on screen are having more fun than the people in the audience. Mamma mia, was that good advice.

Top CriticBrosnan, Firth and Skarsgard have a great time playing the bimbos who may be Sophie's dad.

I believe that genealogy would prove "director" Phyllida Lloyd a descendant of Ed Wood himself.

An absolutely hilarious, rousing and joyous celebration that ought to have you dancing in the aisles.

Streep's 'Mamma Mia!' Is Like Taking a Tiny Vacation
Sep 16, 2008
Top CriticA chintzy valentine to the world-shaking ebullience of one's own flimsily "empowered" friendships and one's most offhanded and tarted-up whims.
