Joey W. Hill | Singing and Dancing, Angels and Mermaids…

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.

Can you believe it? I know, I am so
behind in the real world! Can't wait to
read Witch's Beauty!

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!
