2.5 out of 5 Stars
This is one of those films that goes so far beyond the trappings of 'bad', 'cringe inducing', and 'embarrassing', that it actually had moments of being pants-peeingly funny. I think the fact that I saw it on an airplane and had drunk a vodka cranberry made the musical numbers all the more humorous. The entire movie is one big exclamation mark (Mamma Mia! Greece! Meryl Streep! Who's the Daddy!) -- it is Hollywood's very own version of Bollywood (though not as well done). The plot is simple, the songs are Abba!, the cast is packed with talent who oddly enough take their roles very seriously. It's worth watching on DVD with some friends and some fruity cocktails.
