The storyline of Mamma Mia is simple: A daughter who is all set to marry feels she missing is a very important person in her life — a father who will give her away on her big day.
So, she sends an invite to three of her mother’s ex-partners with the hope of finding her real father. Guess, what, all the three turn up and that’s when things begin to go awry. Will she get to know her true father? How will her mother reacts when she meets her former beaus-of the ABBA era? Will she get her Greek fat wedding? All these questions will be answered in Mamma Mia.
A big cast in the form of Meryl Strep as Amanda Seyfried’s mother, is supported Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.
The screenplay truly fictionalises the story and sets an aura of a desirable fantasy world.
As far as the musical part of this film is concerned you just can’t prevent your feet from tapping or hum along with Swedish band ABBA’s evergreen songs like Mamma Mia, Money Money, Supper Duper, I Have a Dream, etc., which are well choreographed. Though some times, the film lacks the punch of the stage musical, you can’t just let down the infectious songs of ABBA.
As the film also celebrates mother-daughter relationship and friendship it would be wise to take along your friends, to truly enjoy the movie.
