I’m sitting here listening to the soundtrack to Mamma Mia and thinking
about why I love the movie so much. Yes, I could say it’s nowhere near as
stunning as the Broadway production, and many of the casting choices had more to
do with box office draw than singing ability. (I never thought an Irish boy
could sing as badly as Pierce Brosnan – and I love Pierce!) And some of the
scenes are more than a little silly. But you know what? I like it anyway. Heck,
I love it. It’s a wonderful story of young love, while celebrating and
acknowledging the gains/losses of getting older (and no, not talking about
pounds – lol). It recaptures the excitement of having a wedding, and the setting
is drop dead gorgeous. Throw in music and dancing and, my gosh, you have the
ultimate feel-good chick flick.

I love the soundtrack too, but I'm way to harsh on the movie. It just didn't compare to the stage.... not even close.

I love it, yes, it's too corny in parts, the acting isn't always great but it always makes me feel really good. It's in my ultimate list of feel-good movies!
