"Let's not get married yet! Let's get off this island and see the world!"
....You can't do that if you're married?
Have you forgotten that marriage instantly chains man to work and woman to kitchen?
Ahh stereotypes
Yeah, I mean don’t people generally follow a wedding with a honeymoon?
@Connor Dean Your guess is as good as mine.
Lady Marmalade I guess not? Being married doesn't let you see the world? I don't know, I've never even BEEN in a relationship before, so how in the blue hell would I know, dude?
Justin Cicconi Do they?
The whole thing about who the girl's father is could've simply be solved with a DNA test.
*Minor edit:* How and why the hell am I getting so many replies?!
but these people are so stupid to figure that out. XD
They mention that at the end but decide not to because they'd rather just be close and a part of each others lives so they don't need to find out
mistressofthewicket this is just the stupidest thing I have ever heard in a movie!
Yea but ABBA didn't have a song about a DNA test.
ABBA didn't have a song about anything in this abomination.
"This movie has more endings than return of the king" is the best line I've heard in a long time.
You mean it has more endings then transformers age of extinction
@@briebales6357 I think ROTK fits better, and I love that film.
Except ROTK's endings are beautiful
Its true...the ending credits have 3 songs...I wish I was kidding...this movie slogs at a snail's pace of torture...
I really liked "Movie, you´re over, shut the fuck up".
The best thing to come out of this movie was the story Dominic Cooper told in an interview about Pierce Brosnan. During the filming of Mama Mia some scenes were shot at the same studio where Casino Royale was being filmed. After shooting the Waterloo dance scene (you know the one with the spangly jumpsuits) Dominic and Pierce were eating lunch out on the backlot when Daniel Craig walks by in his James Bond tuxedo. Pierce (the previous Bond) looks to Dominic and goes “Look at that cocky little shit!” “Don’t get old kid.”
I haven’t heard this story before! That’s greatness!
That is… so great it’s worth this 💩 movie.
Lmao cool the only thing u liked about this movie was the men. Sounds pretty gay
"Movie! You're over! STFU!" Killed me
Dude. You're on the internet. Grow a pair and type it out fully, it's not hard all you have to do is type shut the fuck up.
I just scrolled down to comment those EXACT words - which again, killed me when I saw your comment XD

"More intelligent films are coming out"
Yes. Like Mama Mia 2.
Babyyoshi309 implies there's good movies coming out (I called them feminine films not be confused with StupidJuckieWaste) but for every good movie, there's sadly bad ones that come out too.
Ps I loved Fried Green Tomatos, Sydney white, the help, and sleepover.
Babyyoshi309 Here We go again
F*CK ME!!
Babyyoshi309 The worst part isn't that it's a follow up, but it's also a prequel. Because THOSE always go over so well, don't they?
Babyyoshi309 what? Are you serious?
Fun fact: in the stage version, Donna running into all three exes at the same time is actually played as a joke. She's usually fixing a door or window with a power drill when the men appear and the music starts, and she does a tentative "Harry?...Bill...?" Before Sam (the one who really broke her heart) speaks up, and she just points the power drill at him and yells "YOU!" before starting the song. There's a lot more time for dialogue/character development too so everything feels a little less random, even though a lot of songs are forced in just b/c they're fan favorites.
What I'm getting from this and other comments is that the stage musical has better writing, character development, and pacing than this adaptation.
I watched the musical yesterday for the first time. I agree: It’s better then the movie.
24:40. "Poor Skarsgard, who came out of Thor 2 with more dignity, and i think he was running around half naked through that one!"

Based Will "And I'm Javert. Do not forget my name. DOT DOT DOT!"

The live singing gimmick killed the movie.
The man at the piano during "Dancing Queen" was Benny Andersson, one of the founders of ABBA together with Björn Ulveus... Just so you know why he was there...
Doesnt matter. Why the heck is there a random man on a boat with a piano?! In terms of story or otherwise it makes zero sense. We know about as much about him as the main leads: nothing
Unless you understand the song and the musical the film was based on, it will not make any sense. This is a musical movie based on ONE ABBA song. And yes, Benny was there because it was "eye candy" for ABBA fans. The film was made for those who loved the musical and ABBA music, not as a "general movie" and consider the fact that it net approx 100MUSD so made pretty well. Also consider that it won 15 Awards and was nominated to another 26 so it can't be all that bad.

I love ABBA and this movie was so stupid and so awkward with the use of their songs, and with humour in general. It sucks as a movie, not even considering ABBA.
They have amazing actors here(Streep, Brosnan, Firth, Skarsgard) and they give them the most unfunny, awkward and inappropriate dialogue they could think of. It is like the script was written by an attention hungry 12 year old girl.
I'm an Abba fan too and I hated this movie. Apart from the fact that it's not funny or interesting, the songs are sung by actors who can't actually sing. Pierce Brosnan, really?
@@michaelleacy I think it's cute that he can't sing. Most people can't. I can. Learned music in school.
The bug eyed girl, on the other hand...Auto-tune. Ick.

Personally, I don't think it's just Chick Flicks, but also any type of kids show marketed to girls, I feel like whenever someone tries to stand up for girls shows or movies, they get mocked as being a whining douche bag who won't let the fuck go,
for example, I used to be part of form site for the Annotated Videos (they're commentaries of various TV Shows and cartoons by using UA-cam's Annotation System, hell even when UA-cam got rid of it, they made their own program and shared it with others to make their own annotated videos, they're really good, check them out they've done commentaries on the Super Mario Cartoons, Sonic Underground, Captain N, the Donkey Kong Country cartoons, even the Dr. Rabbit cartoons ua-cam.com/channels/p_JnQg6SPItgtaqZEncP-w.htmlplaylists ) and one of their sections is a place where they'd suggest what series to do next, well I suggest a girly cartoon called "Bitsy Bears" to them ( ua-cam.com/video/Ar1nObdotMo/v-deo.html ) cause it was so girly and cutsey with little no plot whatsoever compared to all the other shows around that time that it practically feels like it's a complete parody of a girly kids show, I mean I'm not a girl but that would probably insulting, so I just suggested it and they just brushed it off like they didn't want to try, so I kept suggesting it over and over again, till they got fed up with me and banned, then when I tried to explain why I kept suggesting it, it just pissed them off, and they decided to make an april fools day joke of one of their characters beating the crap out of my users icon in the style of those PS2 Mortal Kombat games, now everytime someone mentions Bitsy Bears they automatically think it's me begging them to do it, when I just want them to understand why I suggested it so much in the first place, and make sure they understand that I wasn't trying to act like a dumbass,
so let me tell you something, when it comes to standing up for your rights when it comes to this kind of stuff, it can make people think your acting like a douche, and that those said people don't get the whole story
This got made instead of Put That Thing Back Where It Came From, or so Help Me: The Musical?!!
😆
sadly yes.
Unfortunately... A moment of silence for the wasted potential.

@@dynomar11 Thanks XD
I don't get it, it's a movie from a Swedish band, takes place in Greece, and they call it mama mia? I fail to see the connection.
Noah Hessinger Believe me, I'm from Sweden. Be happy this movie doesn't is recorded in Sweden. It's all grey 3/4 seasons.
Don't forget the all American and English cast
Noah Hessinger They're all in the EU.
yea it would of made since if it took place in Italy because the title. Im not being racist but which country do you think when you hear mama mia?
I'm pretty sure I once heard a Sicilian/Italian youtuber say"Mamma Mia"is a shared phrase between Italians and Greeks. Also, ALL HAIL NOVA ROMA AKA BYZANTIUM.
"No one's going to watch a review of Mamma Mia!" The video has 153,485 views
and the original one on the Leagues of Super Critics channel had over 1 million
That is just the reupload
...101,000 views later...
... 200,000 views later...
except me.
It kinda makes me think of Adam Sandler movies... the movie was an excuse to go on vacation.
So...they made a cheep ass movie shouting "cut" every few minutes while swinging from a hammock.
Wait, isn't that supposed to be directed to someone else?
I have a story about this movie.
One year, I went to visit my Aunt in Pennsylvania.
There wasn't any cable in the upstairs bedrooms, where we were staying. And, naturally, without any TV to watch, if I wasn't doing something outside, I'd be spending all of my time playing video games.
My grandmother, who came with me, however, isn't much of a gamer (big surprise) and would rather watch a movie that my aunt had on DVD.
This was one of the movies she watched the most times.
I have seen this film at least 15 times.
Do you need therapy?
You have my sympathies.
Oh NO!
I can still imagine Mario saying the title of this movie in a pissed off mood.
As long as he doesn't sing... o_O
...but a Mama Mia movie with Mario characters already sounds more interesting now that I think about it!
He can be allowed to sing as long as he's Captain Lou Albano
"Mamma-fuckin'-a-mia Peach, what-a the hell did you take-a me to see? Next time, I'mma letting Bowser-a take you."
But...peach is in another castle.
Nah he'd throw away this piece of shit movie the moment he sees it
Real Talk: I would absolutely watch Nicholas Cage in a chick-flick musical comedy
misterwishart *Nicolas
Yes
Would Cage be the woman?
As long as Nicolas is the *Main Character*
Well, it's not a musical, but Moonstruck is really great. And he's the love interest in that. He and Cher are the two main characters. It contains the line "I LOST MY HAND! I LOST MY BRIDE! JOHNNY HAS HIS HAND! JOHNNY HAS HIS BRIDE!"

You do not want to follow in the footsteps of Fred.
We talking about the movie or Critic himself?
This movie makes you WISH that you're deaf.
To quite Diva from Musical Hell: Watching Mama Mia is like watching a party you weren't invited to
And just like the party you weren’t invited to, it’s filled with pretentious annoying brats, crappy music, and the more you think about what happens the more you’re glad you actually had fun doing literally anything else
Thing about the, “Dancing Queen” scene is that Donna is looking back on her life and regretting some of her choices. That’s how the song ties in: her friends are basically telling her that she should embrace her memories rather than push them aside.
And it’s suppose to be a trio with Donna, Rosie, and Tayna. Not a big number
@@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155Exactly. The only time that song is a big number is when it’s part of the post bow show, which is basically just the cast jamming out and having a blast with the audience.
You know what is funny ??
This is one of the few films actually allowed to be filmed in Greece (In the Island of Skopelos)
Our government is really strict to which productions are allowed to film in Greek landscape locations and in Greece in general with only 1-2 movies every couple of years getting a green pass
And this was the one back then
That’s the only funny thing about the film.
What your saying that this was actually filmed in Greece but they had none in there movie THAT'S BULLSHIT
TheOtherGuy021 Greece is desperate for money now.
same thing in egypt and china!
I lived there for 10 years. This movie bears little resemblance to anything I ever saw or experienced other than that there are islands and water.
Laughed so hard when Pierce Brosnan started singing, had to cover my mouth with a pillow.

God! Brosnan singing chops is so bad it makes Russell Crowe's singing in Les Miserables sounds like an Opera

"This is the worst thing to happen to Greece since Alexander the Great died" Dude...😂
No love for Leonidas?
...or Achilles?
Believe me, a lot worse things happened to Greece after the death of Alexander the Great
IDK about that this movie is pretty awful.
"This is the worst thing to happen to Greece since [OTTOMAN EMPIRE CONQUERS GREECE]" Would be better ? ^^
Its great when this makes "The Room" more of a treasure than it already is
Agreed.
I swear to god this movie disgusts me more than The Room. It's even hard for me to watch the review
Why couldn't they have gotten married AND travelled the world?

Going off Bill Murray's advice they should have vacationed before they were even engaged. Murray's advice is basically: when your home you have distractions like work, family, friends. When your traveling with a significant other you two are all you have, your gonna spending all your time together. So it's when you come back is when your gonna best know "do I want to spend the rest of my life with this person?" there, I just gave you some advice you're never gonna be able to afford.

Cuz what people do in the olden days.

No they didn't self censor in those days Ann Frank's diary is full of her talking about her periods and sexual thoughts. Or hell read Queen Victoria s dairy she gose into pronagrathic detail of her having sex with Prince Albert.
It's just terrible writing or the script writer wanting to keep it clean as I guess they figure even something like "we made love" or "I had a night of passion with him" would be way to racy for mums watching.
“You invited these guys and didn’t tell me?”
“I thought you would stop me!”
How the hell was he supposed to do that if he didn’t know?!?
You misunderstand. She didn't tell him because Sophie thought Skye would have stopped her IF HE HAD KNOWN BECAUSE SHE TOLD HIM, so she kept silent.
lol how did this get so many likes...what she said makes sense - she was worried if she had told him, he would have tried to stop her...
Pierce Brosnan makes Russel Crowe look better in comparison

To his credit, I could tell what the plot was in the Hocus Pocus review even though I haven’t seen it. The Wall review is just a bunch of white noise and should not be mentioned
I think that the purpose of the Wall review is just to create many parodies of songs from Pink Flow.

I heard that phrase on a Harbo Wholmes video.
Why didn't they get married? The last time I checked, you can be married and still travel the world. Am I missing some weird chick flick logic?
something about how he didn't actually want to be married but she did blah blah
It’s about “testing the waters” while travelling. If they’re married, it’s breaking their vows. If they aren’t, it’s “not like their married” so it’s doesn’t count the same.
They get married in mamma mia 2 lol
That... actually makes sense. If only they gave that context in the film.
It's unintentionally implying that she only wants to get married because of her daddy issues.
As a kid I loved James bond and I mistook it for a bond flick.
;-;
Well Colin Firth went on to do the Kingsman movies, which are fantastic love letters to the Bond movies.
That'll be good medicine from this toxic crap!
IMO it's a 007 vacation flick. Because I'm fairly certain Bond stops the next villain with a song.
How and why ?
Perfect timing and use of that Truman show clip. One of my favorite jokes you've ever made, cracks me up every time.

Several years ago, when I still lived at home, my mother and a few of her friends were watching this movie. I was able to tolerate it for, maybe, ten minutes before I had to leave.

18:06 - That had to have been the most forced scene I've ever seen in my god damn life.
This whole movie was forced to be made
I think the best summary of Mamma Mia is that it's what happens when you stage and frame a movie as a stage musical; lavish, extravagent choreographed dance numbers, sudden songs, etc etc.
14:48-15:08 I almost died from laughter! You perfectly spoofed that already over the top ridiculous scene into the next universe with only two sentences and one sound effect, thank you so much!
The Mario jumping noise was ingenious.
For reals! I coughed on my own spit, it was so damn funny... I was not expecting the sound effects. Brilliant!
Guuys, I could be wrong, but I think we look f***ing ridiculous.

I sincerely hope Brosnan went to his house and offered him his sincerest apologies for absolutely butchering 'SOS'. Even for the people who liked the movie, even they hated Brosnan when he had to sing.

Truly a timeless classic :)
Same here. The only part I didn’t like was the whole backdrop of the meat of the movie being a storybook being read to someone. That made the movie seem even faker than it actually is. It’s a nitpick mostly, but a big enough one to keep it out of my top 5.
You love Princess Bride too? INCONCEIVABLE!!
I'm suprised it's called Mamma Mia!, which is italian, yet is set in Greece.
And the "Greek" people don't have Greek accents

That’s pretty much me with a lot of nostalgia critic reviews
The major problem with this movie, is that there isn't conflict or something that make you attach to the characters, so becomes really boring. It's just one and half hour of rich people having fun.

I'm a huge musical theater geek. I literally fall in love with any musical, stage or film, that I come across no matter how bad I know it is. Even jukebox musicals have a soft spot in my heart. However, in all my years of theater, Mama Mia is the one that I hate the most and refuse to ever even audition for whenever a community theater near me does it.

+Nate please note the difference, it's a "chic flic" not a "chick flick"
Comedy IS based on tragedy
And I could not stop laughing at you reviewing this
Lazy Chick Flick Check #6 I usually use my hairbrush. But only if I'm in a really dramatic mood or I feel like I'm singing a dramatic song. I make sure to add really exaggerated, dramatic movements too.
High School Musical has less singing than this movie! And they have
“MUSICAL” in the damn title!!
And yet the songs in High School Musical still reveals more about the characters than any song in this film
You dont use songs to reveal stuff about the characters, you do know that right
@@krm1930 that’s not the only purpose of songs in musicals, but in a musical usually at least one of the songs do need to reveal something about the characters
I think I know the bigges tproblem with the comedy in this movie. NC referred to it, but he didn't say it directly. The filmmakers assume that being a strong woman means that nothing bothers them and they're able to handle any sort of misfortune, when in reality that doesn't make them strong with them it just makes them seem less human. What makes it even worse is tha tthis movie was written by two women.
I agree. Wouldn't a real strong woman be someone who suffers misfortune, is clearly shown to be hurt, but fights through it despite that because they're determined to achieve the goal of their character? But if you make it look like women don't suffer, then you not only make a terribly unrealistic character like you said, you're making women look like idiots who giggle all the time and haven't a thought in their head.
Watch the first two Alien and Terminator movies if you really want to see a badass and compelling female hero in the forms of Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor!
That is sad when a movie was written by women for women and it ends being the biggest insult to everybody
Hell yes
Tex-Mex 96 Millions of Women love this film........
Hold on... 3 people just get a random invitation to some wedding from *a person who they've never met?* Sorry movie, I call *_BULLSHIT._*

"But this is not the movie to showcase any of their abilities" the same I can say about Gnomeo and Juliet and Elton John
”Just a man on a boat..” happens to be mr Benny Andersson one of the ABBA members.. 🤨
It's funny.... I watched Mamma Mia on Tv And I become an ABBA fan... But after becoming a fan... I hated the movie :P
I think we can all agree, you got the best of all possible outcomes from watching the movie.
Well that's the best poly twist ever.
sycker1 WHATTHE FUCK DOES ABBA MEAN????????????
Is the first name of each member Anni, Benni, Bjorn and Agnetha :3
You are a fine human being
24:32 Catholic marriage? The heck are they doing in Greece?
Jedi iron man greeks are orthodox, i don't know why they put a catholic priest there. Maybe because they were catholic? honestly, i don't know.
If they wanted a Catholic Greece, then they should have went to Italy....
Giannhs Polygamatos true for more populated places, but i don't know about that specific island.
Do you seriously think that all Greek people are Orthodox Christians and there is not even a single Catholic there? I did not know you have to go to Italy to get Catholic marriage. You can get it anywhere where there is any Catholic church and priest .
Witold Mosakowski that isn't the weird thing about it. The weird thing is that there is a catholic church in a small island where propably the big majority of people are orthodox.
You wanna know what makes this movie even more pointless? This whole thing about figuring out who the father is could’ve been resolved with a DNA test. If they just got a DNA test, like anyone with common sense would do, this whole snooze fest could’ve been avoided.
Literally just thought that. It would of saved 90 minutes of footage being shot.
I’ve been saying for YEARS that Mamma Mia would have been more entertaining if they all just went onto Maury or Jerry Springer instead.
oh nice, a mamma mia ad on a mamma mia review, christ
When THIS film gets a sequel, but Dredd doesn't.
Bryan Egelhoff's Animation Tech Nation I know. Sad isn't it?
It does
WHY!?!
Cause Dredd is a bad movie
@The Eyes Of A True Demon Dredd didnt make any money, that's why their isnt a sequel
Little did she know one of those men were related to Pennywise...
Is stellan skarsgård related to bill skarsgård?
Ravenclaw BNed he's his big brother
No Suga Kookie, he’s his father
WA HA WA HA WA HA
Come to think of it they should've cast Pennywise himself in this movie. Tim Curry has a great singing voice and he's done enough embarassing stuff over the years that this would hardly destroy his career.
@@justarandomaccount7207 wouldn't he be Alexander skarsgard's father too you know the guy who played Tarzan because bill is his brother
I've seen this movie 20 times. It's good after five times. After nine it gets bad again. 14 good. 16 bad. 19 good. That's how far I've gotten in my experiment. I can now quote the entire movie from memory. God help me.
🙏🏽Carefully... he’s a hero🙏🏽
"I don't care which one is my dad. Let's not get married because we should see the world... And. we. couldn't. get. married. and. see. the. world... becaaauuuussse........"
Hmm. That's so friggin' stupid.
They're right.
Getting married IS stupid
Even if they don't want to get married, they should've done at least to show some respect to everyone that came to see it and spent so much money in it

Only one thing in this movie made me laugh, at 9:38 when you see the three dads in the outfits they were wearing when they were younger. Just seeing Colin Firth looking like a badass biker, and Pierce Brosnan as a hippie, FLOORED me!
In defense of Mamma Mia: the stage show is better. I haven’t seen the movie in a bit, but a local theatre did an amazing production. Part of the reason is it was a cast of like 12, it was much more intimate. “Dancing Queen” is just Tanya and Rosie trying to cheer up Donna. There are moments that are cut from the movie that make the story and songs connect more. Donna has a moment of panic that leads her into singing “Mamma Mia”. The guy in “Does Your Mother Know” has been bugging Tanya RELENTLESSLY up to that point.Rosie and Bill have been hinting at being attracted to each other and that why they sing “Take a Chance on Me” (also it’s much better when they play up the cheesiness of that kind of moment AND the song takes place BEFORE the wedding). And so many other parts that are just charming and sad that they cut for the movie.
(Disclaimer: I'm not expecting ANYONE to read this, I just needed to get it out of my head so I can enjoy the review. Even when I disagree with Nostalgia Critic's assessment, I really enjoy him, so me "externally processing" my thoughts helps me enjoy him more. That being said, I would love to engage with any other fellow musical fanatics!)
If Mamma Mia had been critiqued as a musical rather than a Chick Flick, it would have been a masterpiece.
It behaved just as a musical should:
Fun, memorable, and engaging characters.
You could describe the 8 main characters really well without having to once resort to what they looked like. You can easily remember their quirks, quotes, songs…)
Songs as a PROP & STORYTELLING devise.
Depending on the musical style, characters will stop the story to sing a song (Copacabana, Singin’ in the Rain) or continue the story through song (Les Mis, Seussical, Wicked). The first way, songs are PROPS. The second way, songs are used for STORYTELLING. Mamma Mia! does both (as does Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray, Beauty and the Beast…)
Believable and touching relationships
Donna and her life-long friends, the Mother-Daughter relationship, and frankly, I think Donna’s reaction to falling on her 3 Ex’s was pretty spot on to how many of us would react: Cool, calm, and making light of it in their presence, then bawling in the bathroom 2 minutes later as girl friends (fail to) cheer you up…)
***King Kahuna of why it’s a great MUSICAL movie:***
Encourages music from the audience
A musical should present itself in a way that makes the audience WANT to sing and dance along, and regardless of complexity, think that they could. Mamma Mia! did just that. You have to work hard not to sing along, you grin at how much fun it looks, you wish you could jump in the screen and dance along- the moves ARE simple enough! A musical that ends with you NOT humming or tapping your toes is a failure. Mamma Mia! left you dancing.
I don’t really regard it as a chick flick, because to be a CF in my mind, the core of the story needs to be a romantic relationship primarily through the girl’s perspective (“You’ve Got Mail,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “27 Dresses”). Now, to be fair, Mamma Mia! does have several romantic relationships, and ultimately ends in a wedding, but the core focus of the movie ISN’T romance: It’s the relationship between Sophie and her mother, and again that’s done really well.
Complaints that the characters are foolish and insulting to women's intelligence... Mmmm again, it's a musical first and many traditional musical characters and relationships are not typically what one would see as the greatest...
* Tracy (Hairspray), G(a)linda (Wicked), and Lola (Copacabana) are airheads and we love them...
* Bloom (Producers) Raul and the Phantom (Phantom) Simba (Lion King) and other famous male characters are stupid, lazy, bland, and yet they're classics...
* Virtually every romance ever placed on the stage is developed within a song and dance, and they get married pretty quickly...
* 20-year-old Sophie (who would have sent the invites when she was 19 YEARS OLD) comes off as pretty par for the course as a musical character AND as a 19/20-yr-old. Especially if you've ever been a bride(smaid) for a wedding, you know things get pretty crazy and immature anyway. Having been a bridesmaid 8 times so far and seen worse emotional breakdowns without the advantage of catchy musical numbers, the reckless behavior of the characters didn't really bother me. Really, it was fun to see how out of control things could get. As for her not getting married at the end, yes I think that's stupid and I blame the original stage play for that one.
My entire family grew up on the stage and I’m not sure who loved it more when we saw it in theaters- my dad, mom, two brothers, sister, or myself. It was everything we could do to not sing along in the aisle. We had an absolute blast and bought it the moment it came out on DVD and saw it AGAIN as a family, just so we could sing without worrying about other viewers.
To me, Mamma Mia! is one of the ultimate “fun musical” movies.
When you need 300+ words for your essay:
Totally agree with you
Really well written, with a great breakdown and respect to both NC's point of view and a fan's point of view. And I completely agree with you!
Agreed, I love this movie no matter what hahaha!
I didn’t know UA-cam commenters could be so detailed in the comments..
The elder guy playing the piano on the pier, is actually former ABBA member Benny Anderson, watching his music getting ripped to pieces... On behalf of Hollywood, i am really sorry ABBA.
Boy did this movie annoyed me. All i heard was squealing, giggling, and bad song sequences.
Ive watched cannibal holocaust without a problem. Im also a brony but i dont think I could sit through mamma mia.
you said it Abel. I remember renting this movie back the day and watched it with my big sis but.. all I can ever remember about this movie is the mom rolling on the roof (why though??) like a fool while singing mamma mia.. --;
God Damn this movie is terrible. Why is it a thing? More importantly how does it have fans ??????
And... there's a sequel..
Who asked for this ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
It's not a movie, it's a fantastic set of music videos stitched together.
I plug in Darunde Sandstorm over it and becomes almost bearable. (Not really)
Try some heavy metal
It just makes it easier to digest
(Not really)
I think the "guy kissing another guy" bit from the "Sex and the City" movie if executed wrong could've made the main characters come off as homophobic, and that's probably why they didn't go for it. It speaks more on the incompetence of the writers.
