OK, here is my man card.
Right up front, have to come clean.
Coming of age in the 70s, I really liked
ABBA. I still do.
Have seen Mama Mia on Broadway or Vegas or
other venues about 7 times.
Makes me feel good.
The first movie was OK, except they should
have dubbed 007’s singing and Meryl Streep was
too old.
They should have had the Ab Fab women play
two of the three main players.
But overall they did a good job replicating
the play.
New movie... meh. My wife liked it. It
attempted to tell the back story.
Glad MoviePass is still in business.
Some songs I have never heard, not sure if
they were new creations or just ABBA stuff
that was not that well known.
The addition of Cher seemed silly and
really did nothing for the story.
The actress (Lily James) playing the young
Meryl Streep is fantastic.
I thought she was the cell phone commercial
girl, looks similar.
I don’t recognize any of her IMDB
filmography entries.
