Mama Mia ~ Movie

An adaptation from the already successful Broadway musical platform, Mama Mia is making its way to the wide screen. Heck, and Hollywood with their run out ideas for fresh movies, at least didn't disappoint people with this chick flick.
The story is about Sophie who's getting married the next day, invited her 3 possible father whom she discovered when she read her mom, Dona's diary. To her amazement, the all 3 guys come knocking at her house/inn in Greece. Then all the drama starts...
What I like about this movie besides now I don't need to be curious about the play and now don't feel the need to pay a big bucks to see the play, is that:
1. The ex-James Bond can sing! And his singing part is mostly at the stressful/serious moment, which is adding to our amusement.
2. ABBA's songs really stand through the time. All of their songs still very easy to the ears and along with the story line and so on, they really fit in and doesn't really seem out of the blue. I especially like the moment Dona sings 'The Winner Takes it All' when Sam tries to confront her about what happen 20 years ago. And with the settings (the fantastically beautiful sunset and the sea), made it so real and mesmerizing. You can really feel Dona's heart crying there.
3. The setting is the best. Greece is already famous for its scenery and this movie will make you really want to go there and feel it yourself.
4. The movie has very light and easy to digest humours which you can find during the singing from the background people. I like the part that Dona's singing 'Mama Mia' and she tried to open the roof-top's door but couldn't and the background person open it at ease and looking at her with the face of 'what's wrong with you?'. LoL.
5. The ending. You have to watch to know how fun the movie is. Don't quickly jump from your seat right after the movie ends. Stick around for 1 minute and you'll see what I mean...

My taken: after a long parade of fact that Hollywood has run out of creativity: making movies from Asian movies (Bangkok Dangerous and My Sassy Girl are the latest addition), series of comics (Iron Man, Batman, Hulk, etc, you name it, now they have a movie from it), Jap's horror flicks (don't need to mention the names, too many)... at least this consoles you a bit and you'll thank Hollywood to bringing the musical to your TV... soon... in about 6 months? hehehe... Off course, people will argue the musical is better, but hey, at least this one is affordable and is making everybody happy, I'm happy at least and it's definitely lightened up my Monday ;)...
