Boyfriend and I went to Cineworld last night and watched Mamma Mia - the movie. It's a nice, happy film and if you like Abba's music, then this is something for you. I haven't seen the musical and I don't think I need to now. And yes, there are some cringe-worthy moments and sometimes the transition from talking ot singing can be a bit coarse but it works as a whole and there are some definite perks about seeing it;
Colin Firth is so sexy that I'm almost unable to sit still whenever he's on the screen. Meryl Streep is looking radiant and the whole cast is funny and if you leave without smiling then you're a miserable f**k.
The only bad thing about Mamma Mia is Pierce Brosnan. Not only is he as slimier than ever but. Oh. My. God! Did they not check their singing abilities?! Cos Brosnan sure as hell can't sing. I'd be inclined to say that the man is bordering on being extremely tone-deaf.
And I'm willing to say that Firth isn't a great singer but it had substance and unlike Brosnan it wasn't totally flat. Whenever Brosnan opened his mouth I experienced a toe-curling moment. Not to mention that his American accent was appalling (boyfriend didn't even realise that Brosnan was supposed to be American) and surely they should have been able to find a middleaged American actor with a decent singing voice??
Anyway, I left the place laughing and feeling total bliss as I had heard some good music (not just the worn out Abba songs) and Colin Firth.
Did I say that I think he's fantastic?

He's no William Shatner, that's for sure
