I (also part of the not-a-man 13%) hadn't watched the Little Women video yet because I had such a profound experience watching that movie that I was afraid to look at basically any commentary. Now I think I'll make this the exception to that rule!
I’m a guy and I’m throughly enjoying these videos, as I am a fan of theatre and film and I personally believe that film is made for all people though there is that boundary, so hey count me into that 13% haha
I spent 23 minutes being really worried you weren't gonna mention Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård doing the Titanic pose, because that was just life changing
Please nobody make a gif of him saying "that's a-cinema" but instead please everyone gif him saying "Please someone make a gif of me saying 'that's a-cinema'"
No there has to be a gif of him saying "that's a-cinema" INSIDE a gif of him saying "please someone make a gif of me saying 'that's a-cinema'?" I would, but no talent.
I think the reason I find the movie so enjoyable is because it just seems like every single person on screen is having an absolute blast. It makes me want to get up and join the singing and dancing myself. All the imperfect singing and dancing makes it feel so accessible. It's such a giddy, joy-inducing experience.
In the first movie apparently the cast was allowed to drink champagne in between shots and I would bet good money they kept that tradition going with this one
I barely finished the first ep bcs it turned into an Office reunion interview which took me out bcs I never properly watched The Office before then (I have since only watched the first season).
I shut a few of the episodes off halfway because they just did not seem genuine. more of a "Look what I can do!" circle jerk. I try not to shit on people who do good things, even for bad reason (like the people who film themselves donating to homeless people for the instagram views) but did they ever actually do anything other than make a handfull of peoples days?
I loathe Krasinski's show after the fact, because he's a clueless sellout. I'm suspicious because he quit right when coronavirus started to really highlight the systemic failures of the USA in the 21st Century. You know, the little things.
I honestly don't give 2 shits about Mctiernan but I was SO here for Greta Gerwig and Abba. And screw the dude audiences who brush this stuff to the side. I hope makes a video about Richard Curtis movies next.
@@tatehildyard5332, I also enjoyed his video on Little Women, as well as this one. Both were great fun to watch. As for a video I'd like him to make, maybe one on Rowan Aktinson movies/TV shows? I'm very curious as to his thoughts on Bean, Blackadder and Johnny English.
I was never interested in Little Women before, but Patrick (H) Willems drops a video, I click - a simple man am I. And as always, I learned stuff I never would have otherwise, and was entertained while doing so.
I’ve been obsessed with that mirror transition in the One of Us scene since I saw the film. Can’t wrap my head around the fact that a Mamma Mia film has a shot so unique that the only comparison for it I can think of is from Paprika.
Honestly, there are few things so endearing as Pierce Brosnan's inability to sing. I was stone cold sober when I saw the first Mamma Mia, and I had the time of my life! It may not be a good movie, but by god it's fun. Though the sequel was, indeed, a lot better.
I mean if JK was making the show just to make it, he could have put it on many other platforms besides YT. Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, heck, even Snapchat all host video. He chose YT specifically because it can be monitized. It bothers me less with shows like Fallon, Meyers, and Colbert because even though they are filming at home and uploading portions to YT, they have always uploaded portions of their shows to YT, and their primary form of distribution is still through traditional media. With JK, it really feels like he is invading a space that truly doesn't belong to him, and using a crisis to profiteer, which is just shitty. And then he sells the concept to be distributed through traditional media anyway. Why not just pitch the show to networks to begin with? Why invade UA-cam? It's like a starbucks opening specifically to try to shut down a smaller coffee shop, and then boarding up when the small shop goes out of business. It's opportunistic, manipulative, poorly made, and I am just as mad as Pat is. He could have used his celebrity to at least promote other content creators while he was here, but no. He just comes in, gets whatever money he can, and abandons the platform as soon as it stops serving him. People make their livings here dude. I wouldn't mind a whole episode where Pat just rants against JK. I despise what he has done.
I'm a bit confused here. He starred in a primetime network sitcom that began as a remake of another primetime network sitcom and dragged on for a decade... *before* he sold out?
@@ckillgore it feels weirdly like what people talk about when they reference "cultural appropriation", to the extent that there is a culture on UA-cam. He's a more famous and influential person kind of just parachuting in and skipping past the usual long and difficult process it takes to become successful on UA-cam, because he has a network in entertainment media who will just signal boost what he's doing anyway, regardless of its real quality, and because he's gone straight to the top, he really never bothered to make any kind of connections to anyone other people on the platform, or show any kind of understanding of what they do.
At least my favorite guy UA-camr! Lindsey Ellis makes like 5 videos about Transformers and it's popular. Patrick Willems makes a video about Little Women and it flops? C'mon dudes; step up. This is fragile masculinity at it's finest.
Patrick: Can you imagine a serious drama where people burst into ABBA songs? Me: .... it's like you've never heard of CHESS: THE MUSICAL

I've always underplayed the second movie because it lacks the zany, surreal, magical energy of the first one. Is too serious and almost sad. Your analysis gave me another perspective on it, made me appreciate the maturity and care with which it was made.
I felt the same way when I saw it I was expecting to see some zany craziness and instead I got character and story structure that was disciplined and was like what the hell is this?
@@nonamer29 She's great. I basically screamed in my bedroom anytime she showed up or said a sentence. I've also been alone for several days and my feelings are broken. This was the closest I've felt to love.
@@dwc1964 yes, but the magic sauce for dominating that algorythm, is having that heartwarming lady front and center. I would honestly watch a 24 hour live stream of her reading the phonebook... heck, i would probably re-watch it a couple of times.
in all seriousness though, a few check-ins with your mom talking about a few of the moments you pointed out would have probably retained my attention a little more... i know you are experimenting with fiolms outside of the action genre (your bread and butter) but beyond your technical analysis, your reviews lack excitement for the subject matter. these movies dont impact you (patrick) as personally, so you arent as prone to giving yourself over to the same level of excitement you do in your other videos... but you could probably substitute your excitement for your mothers, and we would all just swoon and think it is adorable... just food for thought... (now go! exploit your mother for our entertainment!!!)
kinda works for anything. Star Wars: here we go again Terminator: here we go again Honey I went and blew up the kids again Here, we're Borne again doesn't work for Batman Begins: Again
HOW has it taken me 18 months to find this amazing video when it expresses ONE OF MY MOST DEEPLY AND STRONGLY HELD BELIEFS?! I am a Mamma Mia 2 prosthelytizer. It's completely ridiculous, and wrecks me emotionally every time.
this episode was amazing Jake and Rachel's dance at the end was transcendent. It actually touched my heart; and put over your rant about John Krasinski it was pure Cinema
I’m a 26 year old guy who has never read Little Women who was moved by your last video enough to have a discussion with my mother (who is an English teacher) about Little Women. You made a good video Patrick, no matter what the metrics say.
God Mamma Mia Here We Go Again slapped so hard I was sobbing uncontrollably by the end of my first viewing. The day after my family decided we had to see it again, after that I went with a few friends and my family another time with a grand total of 7 times in theaters.
this is a comment to help with the algorithm. I dont really have anything important to say, your videos are just informative and entertaining and I like them.
Must a movie duology be good? Is it not enough to watch some internationally acclaimed actors go feral on a Greek island, having, as the sages say, the time of their lives? Luckily, the Mammas Mia do both.
Finally, someone vocalizing the superiority of Here We Go Again, AND substantiating those claims. Excellent work, as usual! I also appreciate how seriously you're taking Mamma Mia! :)
This movie makes me cry...EVERY SINGLE TIME. I could watch it everyday, it’s such an enigma of a movie and I find that most people that watch it regardless of if they like the first one or not, love the second movie.
8:44 - Wow, Charl is just the king (or queen, let’s not suffocate him with gender norms) of hot takes. Prior to this, I NEVER would have considered Amanda Seyfried’s character arc throughout both films to be more well put together than Robert Downey Jr.’s arc in the ENTIRE Infinity Saga, but here we are. You do you, Charl. YOU. DO. YOU.
For me, one of my absolute favorite moments of visual storytelling in this film comes in the Fernando sequence. Ruby and Fernando’s reunion has been hinted at throughout the film and when we cut from Cher’s perspective, she is looking down to Fernando Cienfuegos, who is holding a torch...because he still holds a torch for her after all these years...Then they duet a torch song about days gone by. It’s SO good. This was easily my favorite film of 2018 and this review made my heart soar. Thank you so much Patrick 💖
Mamma Willems: “ belligerent impudence “ I wish she had really said it with the force and conviction of Mad Eye Moody’s: “Constant Vigilance” In my head, she did and it was hilarious.
hah The respect Mamma Mia 1 is the best and it only got 50% and Mamma Mia here we go again gets 90% scew the 2nd one jeez no one can respect the originals anymore, how sad
"Can you imagine if they tried to make heavy dramas where everyone is constantly singing ABBA songs?" Like, if someone filmed CHESS? (technically not ABBA I know lol)
As part of the male audience I've got to say that one of the reasons I like the show is that you present movies I would have never thought of watching in a way that is compelling and enthusiastic and makes me want to watch them. I would probably never have wanted to watch the Paddingtons or Little Women or Tree of Life or even Fast 5 (which I still haven't watched but I will) if it wasn't for your interesting and passionate discussions of them. Enjoy your break and I hope to see more soon
Patrick: Who is the target audience of Mamma Mia? Me: Uh me who saw the original in theaters three times as an 11 year old and had the soundtrack on cd
YES. My wife convinced me to watch both the original and then, in theaters, the sequel. I didn't know what to expect, but I was floored by just how good the sequel was. The transitions between time periods alone were amazing. I also spent much of the run time quietly cynical about Meryl Streep not being in it - *of course* the Oscar winner didn't want to come back for their silly movie, so they wrote her out. So obvious! And then the finale happened and I understood that they had made the choice that best worked for the story they wanted to tell, and yeah, it got me. Just watching that part again when you were talking about it choked me up.
I have a very unpopular opinion on Meryl Streep in the first movie but I honestly felt she was miscast. It was probably the first and last time I disliked Meryl in a movie.
4 роки тому
@@bonesgrey I see where you're coming from. I felt she was too old to play Donna - there's rumours that Nicole Kidman wanted the role before Meryl got the rights to the play, which is also wrong because back in 2008 Nicole was too young-looking. The thing about Meryl's is even more noticeable when you pair her with the eternally teenage looking Amanda Seyfried and when we have to accept that just 25 years ago she was post-grad Lily James. But she's so funny and joyful in the first movie and so gutwrenching in the second that any argument turns invalid.
It's because ms. Streep doesn't do sequels. Have u seen her in a sequel pf her own movies before this? She only agreed to do cameo here because of her love of ABBA.
Charl watching "Mamma Mia four times" can hardly come as a surprise. Having dated both Agnetha in the sixties and Meryl in the seventies that nut probably has a serious stroll down memory lane each time he watches.
I’ve only seen your little women video and this one (two of my unironically favorite movies) and I’m just gonna assume those is what all of your content is
When I went to see this movie I actually hadn’t seen the first one (tho I knew the story/premise) but I went with my mom and sisters and we had an absolute blast. Months later, I saw the stage production of the original with my best friend and also had a blast. I think I saw both pieces as originally intended! 😂
1: Búla bos a mhamaí, nice to know I'm not the only one who falls back on cúpla focal in awkward moments! 2: Its a very small thing, but it's genuinely really nice to see Jake and Rachel improve week on week 3: Can't give you a full gritty thriller about ABBA, but Ben Wheatley's High Rise used SOS as something of an overture, and had a super intense cover by Portishead as the closing credits
This is the first video of yours I have ever seen and in fact I never even heard of you before but goddammit I will watch anything that talks about Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! , the movie that made me sob in a movie theatre because I love my mom... that was kinda rant-y and possibly incoherent, my point is good video, loved the analysis 10/10 chef's kiss
The target audience for Mamma Mia! is wine moms and future wine moms, and I have a wine mom and my sister is a future wine mom so, I've obviously seen both. Several times. And I agree wholeheartedly with your take. Though Here We Go Again beats the original just by virtue of Cher being there. Like, I didn't KNOW I needed to hear her sing Fernando, but like, I DID. I also didn't know I needed to hear her tell Sophie that holding grudges makes you fat, but I did.
One of the greatest blessings of my life was growing up with two sisters who my parents raised me to see as equals. It gave me an insight into women that a lot of guys bizarrely still struggle with after decades of adulthood, marriage and children. Our culture...grrr. So basically, that means I've seen Mamma Mias 1 & 2, multiple versions of Little Women and the Bronte epics, have heard lots about Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy AND the bathing scene in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice etc.
I like the idea that a whole bunch of guys are sitting down to watch Little Women to the confusion of their families/girlfriends/flatmates, because a guy on UA-cam did a video about it.
Got the movie downloaded, don't want to spoil it by watching thick thwillims no doubt insightful video beforehand. Looking forward to Little Women cos 1) Lady Bird was awesome and 2) my crush on Emma Watson just won't quit.
i saw this video on my recommended and absolutely enjoyed it!! the two artists who covered the abba songs were amazing. i’m glad to help patrick’s 13% female audience number go up :)
I really liked Mamma Mia when I first saw it, and I don't think I was drunk watching it, considering I was a minor at the time, but there's no way to know for sure also Sophie's grandmother was "dead" because Donna hated her mom
Just can't believe this guy convinced me to watch a duology I've always been on the fence about. Goddammit what fun madness I've been missing all these years😂
Such a great video, I havent seen either Mamma Mia but have a great sense of nostalgia tied to them from watching the trailers a lot when the first one came out. It was just colorful and fun seeming. But this makes me want to see them both, especially the second one. I like these videos of talking about movies that your demo might not have necessarily seen or given a chance, in a lot of ways its more worth it than the usual fare (and this is coming from someone who eats up the usual fare) but I definitely appreciate these kinds of videos
I agree: "The Road Warrior" (a.k.a. "Mad Max 2") is the best sequel. (Worst well-made sequel: Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tetsuo II: Body Hammer.") And I still think that Patrick's "Little Women" video is terrific.
I feel like Patrick makes videos that are the highest tier that a video essayist can be, and its a pretty fucking high tier. still waiting on the obligatory video about The Dark Knight. keep it up man
i havent been able to make myself watch the blade runner sequel because the very notion of blade runner (directors cut) even having a sequel undermines the ending/message????
I resisted MamaMia for YEARS. The ONLY thing more heart touching and ADORABLE than those movies is YOUR MOM. You better quit being curt with her young man! Or I'll have to come down there and give ya a good seein'-to! She is very very precious. God bless her and yer dad and you az well. I'm Chris O'Loughlin and I approve of this message.

@@babinsk2 where! Please share!
I think the reason I find the movie so enjoyable is because it just seems like every single person on screen is having an absolute blast. It makes me want to get up and join the singing and dancing myself. All the imperfect singing and dancing makes it feel so accessible. It's such a giddy, joy-inducing experience.
In the first movie apparently the cast was allowed to drink champagne in between shots and I would bet good money they kept that tradition going with this one
The most important thing to remember about Momma Mia: Here We Go Again is that Krasinki's show wasn't even engaging or well structured.
I barely finished the first ep bcs it turned into an Office reunion interview which took me out bcs I never properly watched The Office before then (I have since only watched the first season).

I try not to shit on people who do good things, even for bad reason (like the people who film themselves donating to homeless people for the instagram views) but did they ever actually do anything other than make a handfull of peoples days?
@@PytD Agreed and piggy backing of your point, Mamma Mia: Here we go again, was pretty good.

"Can you imagine if they tried to make heavy dramas where everyone is constantly singing ABBA songs?"
Like, if someone filmed CHESS? (technically not ABBA I know lol)
JSJDJFKFKJFN
I came here just to see if anyone had already commented about Chess! Nice
I really really really want Patrick to watch Chess. It's not Cats, but not far off...
I was literally seconds from mentioning chess! Thank you
Chess is severely under appreciated but it’s one of my favorite musicals so it’s nice to see people talking about it!
As part of the male audience I've got to say that one of the reasons I like the show is that you present movies I would have never thought of watching in a way that is compelling and enthusiastic and makes me want to watch them. I would probably never have wanted to watch the Paddingtons or Little Women or Tree of Life or even Fast 5 (which I still haven't watched but I will) if it wasn't for your interesting and passionate discussions of them. Enjoy your break and I hope to see more soon
Protesters: "ACAB!"
Patrick: "The best I can do is ABBA"
All Bastards Best Art?
The people demand an isolated video of the Dancing Queen dance
Me and a few friends went to see this opening day first showing as a joke and came out thinking "that was actually pretty good'
This is genius. The joyous dance being shrunk and silenced while Patrick pours out his petty frustrations is transcendent.
Patrick is bringing us the quarantine content we need
Patrick: Who is the target audience of Mamma Mia?
Me: Uh me who saw the original in theaters three times as an 11 year old and had the soundtrack on cd
Don’t know why I clicked on this. Haven’t seen either of the Mama Mias
you should! it's a spectacle. Not to be taken seriously and just to have fun.
I believe it should be pluralized as Mammas Mia. It isn't, but it should be.
"And then there's Dancing Queen, obviously the best ABBA song"
Lay All Your Love on Me though.
Also Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight)
YES. My wife convinced me to watch both the original and then, in theaters, the sequel. I didn't know what to expect, but I was floored by just how good the sequel was. The transitions between time periods alone were amazing.
I also spent much of the run time quietly cynical about Meryl Streep not being in it - *of course* the Oscar winner didn't want to come back for their silly movie, so they wrote her out. So obvious! And then the finale happened and I understood that they had made the choice that best worked for the story they wanted to tell, and yeah, it got me. Just watching that part again when you were talking about it choked me up.
I have a very unpopular opinion on Meryl Streep in the first movie but I honestly felt she was miscast. It was probably the first and last time I disliked Meryl in a movie.
@@bonesgrey I see where you're coming from. I felt she was too old to play Donna - there's rumours that Nicole Kidman wanted the role before Meryl got the rights to the play, which is also wrong because back in 2008 Nicole was too young-looking. The thing about Meryl's is even more noticeable when you pair her with the eternally teenage looking Amanda Seyfried and when we have to accept that just 25 years ago she was post-grad Lily James. But she's so funny and joyful in the first movie and so gutwrenching in the second that any argument turns invalid.
It's because ms. Streep doesn't do sequels. Have u seen her in a sequel pf her own movies before this? She only agreed to do cameo here because of her love of ABBA.
Charl watching "Mamma Mia four times" can hardly come as a surprise. Having dated both Agnetha in the sixties and Meryl in the seventies that nut probably has a serious stroll down memory lane each time he watches.
I’ve only seen your little women video and this one (two of my unironically favorite movies) and I’m just gonna assume those is what all of your content is
"Can you imagine if they made a heavy drama with ABBA music?"
Toni Colette: [crying uncontrollably]
Oh my God what movie are you talking about
@@star88wars The scariest movie ever made....
"Muriel's Wedding".
😂😂😂
I just wish in the Hereditary dinner scene, the son had responded, 'Mama Mia, here we go again'
I was a big fan of this one, and the Little Women one. Even if they're not big hits, they're big hits in my heart.
When I went to see this movie I actually hadn’t seen the first one (tho I knew the story/premise) but I went with my mom and sisters and we had an absolute blast. Months later, I saw the stage production of the original with my best friend and also had a blast. I think I saw both pieces as originally intended! 😂
Was Charl wearing a bullet proof vest?? I think he's one of those undercover cops everyone's talking about!
I dodn´t notice at first but when you pointed it out it makes sense!
23:17 Woah there bud, "Lay All Your Love On Me" begs to differ
1: Búla bos a mhamaí, nice to know I'm not the only one who falls back on cúpla focal in awkward moments!
2: Its a very small thing, but it's genuinely really nice to see Jake and Rachel improve week on week
3: Can't give you a full gritty thriller about ABBA, but Ben Wheatley's High Rise used SOS as something of an overture, and had a super intense cover by Portishead as the closing credits
This is the first video of yours I have ever seen and in fact I never even heard of you before but goddammit I will watch anything that talks about Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! , the movie that made me sob in a movie theatre because I love my mom... that was kinda rant-y and possibly incoherent, my point is good video, loved the analysis 10/10 chef's kiss
The target audience for Mamma Mia! is wine moms and future wine moms, and I have a wine mom and my sister is a future wine mom so, I've obviously seen both. Several times. And I agree wholeheartedly with your take.
Though Here We Go Again beats the original just by virtue of Cher being there. Like, I didn't KNOW I needed to hear her sing Fernando, but like, I DID. I also didn't know I needed to hear her tell Sophie that holding grudges makes you fat, but I did.
One of the greatest blessings of my life was growing up with two sisters who my parents raised me to see as equals. It gave me an insight into women that a lot of guys bizarrely still struggle with after decades of adulthood, marriage and children. Our culture...grrr.
So basically, that means I've seen Mamma Mias 1 & 2, multiple versions of Little Women and the Bronte epics, have heard lots about Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy AND the bathing scene in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice etc.
“You know Sophie, being a grudge holder makes you fat.”, oddly wise words to live by.
I'm super onboard for the new content focus and Patrick's slow slide into madness!
For those who haven't watched the episode of Little Women, you missed a good one.
But I haven’t seen the movie yet and I don’t want spoilerrrrrrrrrs
@@brynsussex2967 been there: highly recommend watching the video after Little Women.
I like the idea that a whole bunch of guys are sitting down to watch Little Women to the confusion of their families/girlfriends/flatmates, because a guy on UA-cam did a video about it.
Got the movie downloaded, don't want to spoil it by watching thick thwillims no doubt insightful video beforehand. Looking forward to Little Women cos 1) Lady Bird was awesome and 2) my crush on Emma Watson just won't quit.
patrick is literally just making videos to cater to me at this point. thank you patrick.
_The Godfather Part II_ is the _Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again_ of _The Godfather_ trilogy.
Change my mind.
i saw this video on my recommended and absolutely enjoyed it!! the two artists who covered the abba songs were amazing. i’m glad to help patrick’s 13% female audience number go up :)
Irish speakers are definitely watching hahaha caught me so off guard!!
"Jake needs to eat!" Awww. Made my heart happy.
Me as a part of Patrick’s 0% nonbinary audience, I guess: this is a good start.
That’s the last thing I’d ever thought I would hear about a follow up to Mama Mia .
I really liked Mamma Mia when I first saw it, and I don't think I was drunk watching it, considering I was a minor at the time, but there's no way to know for sure
also Sophie's grandmother was "dead" because Donna hated her mom
16:05 - Muriel's Wedding. Kind of.
From the 13% I say thank you. Love your new direction for the show.
Also, suck it, Krasinski!
Videos like this one and Little Women are why I’m a nebula subscriber. Please never change!
Yo haven’t seen any of the lil Women or Mama Miss but still found these last two vids interesting, keep up the great work!
Okay, the cut to Charl was genuinely hilarious.
I'm an Irish speaker agus míle buíochas don Ghaeilge!
As a long time subscriber who watched both mamma Mia films in theaters multiple times, I'm so glad this is the new Patrick (h) Willems
Is Gealgoir me, tá cupla focal agam. You're wrong Pat, there's at least one Irish speaker watching!
Just can't believe this guy convinced me to watch a duology I've always been on the fence about. Goddammit what fun madness I've been missing all these years😂
Feels like this Krasinski feud started as a joke and then gradually became quite real
Such a great video, I havent seen either Mamma Mia but have a great sense of nostalgia tied to them from watching the trailers a lot when the first one came out. It was just colorful and fun seeming. But this makes me want to see them both, especially the second one. I like these videos of talking about movies that your demo might not have necessarily seen or given a chance, in a lot of ways its more worth it than the usual fare (and this is coming from someone who eats up the usual fare) but I definitely appreciate these kinds of videos
I agree: "The Road Warrior" (a.k.a. "Mad Max 2") is the best sequel. (Worst well-made sequel: Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tetsuo II: Body Hammer.")
And I still think that Patrick's "Little Women" video is terrific.
The Little Women video slapped, I love that movie and I’m so glad you talked about it!
As someone who passed the Leaving Cert I understood your mam PERFECTLY! Gaeilge abú!
Maith thú!
I love the bloopers lol, and I love your mum randomly speaking Irish
Came for the Mamma Mia content, stayed for the CIA Jim dragging.
I feel like Patrick makes videos that are the highest tier that a video essayist can be, and its a pretty fucking high tier. still waiting on the obligatory video about The Dark Knight. keep it up man
Batman Begins: Here We Go Again
The dancing near the end is perfect!
Blade runner 2049: am I joke to you?
i havent been able to make myself watch the blade runner sequel because the very notion of blade runner (directors cut) even having a sequel undermines the ending/message????
@@elfstarlight I think they actually refrain from mucking with that mystery for what it's worth
I resisted MamaMia for YEARS. The ONLY thing more heart touching and ADORABLE than those movies is YOUR MOM. You better quit being curt with her young man! Or I'll have to come down there and give ya a good seein'-to! She is very very precious. God bless her and yer dad and you az well. I'm Chris O'Loughlin and I approve of this message.
please roast the greatest showmen I need it as a theatre kid that had friends that played the soundtrack a whole bunch for some???? reason???
I love it when Patrick's Mam is on the show. Since I don't get to see my Mam very often, it's nice to see "A" Patrick's Mam.
