Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Mamma Mia! (2008)

I had the feeling, while watching, that I'd accidentally gotten the practice footage -- a first run-through. Everything seemed so sloppy and unprofessional and it just wasn't any good.

The music is, of course, wonderful and I could easily understand how this would be a hoot on the live stage, but on the flat screen with the earnest non-singing non-dancing cast it was a mess. Everyone seemed to be having a grand ol' time on screen, but I was just left asking myself how the heck this thing made so much money.
