Musical movie

A definite blast from the past when it comes to music, this movie was wonderful. Mamma Mia!
Whether you went to the theaters, purchased the movie, or other, it was definitely one to see. I believe the music was a perfect blend into the story, and matched each situation with harmony. None of the characters was too outrageous, and some curve balls were even thrown. Because of the music, this movie definitely contained vivid characters.
You start with this young female who doesn't know herself because she's never known any father. Then you go into meeting these men, 3, of which one is her biological father. You find out she's getting married, and it goes on from there. Her mother confronts these men only to be heart broken again until she confronts the past head on.
While the story was a great romantic comedy, the musical performances were quite well done. Each actor/actress seemed to rise to the occasion. There were a couple of gritty spots with voices, but overall they matched rather well. The tension of marriage, not knowing yourself, the past, the future, and friends and family kept this movie going throughout with plenty to tell and show. There were a couple of goofy dances thrown in, but laughs are always needed when something deep draws you in too far.
I'm a sucker for a good romantic comedy as well as music. Add a few sexy hunks, and I give this a 10/10.
Another great movie for girls, gay men, and couples. Though, I'm sure plenty of straight men would rather skip this one. If you like Abba and don't mind remixes, this is one for you.
