RedM Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Better than I expected. As my other half wanted to see this we took advantage of Orange Wednesdays. It's a proper feel-good film. At first I thought it'd be one of those chick flicks with constant squealing and air-kisses but it gradually turned into a fairly harmless bit of brain candy with some chuckles thrown in. It's funny and singalong-tastic. Pierce Brosnan is a revelation in it but the real star of the show is the beautiful Greek scenery. 4/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Haven't seen the film but I saw the stage show of MM in Las Vegas. I wasn't expecting much but really rather enjoyed it. (Other) People did sing along and danced in the aisles, especially towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Me and my other half saw this yesterday. RedM was spot on with his review. It's very well made, and actually funny in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Iv'e seen it, would of been alright if they didn't burst into song and dance every 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I went to see the stage version in August for my sister's birthday. It was so good - I'd definitely recommend it. The added bonus was lots of very fit men in scubba diving gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of the point of musicals, Mr. 40 watt. Dare I ask, Mike. What was funny about my comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 That's kind of the point of musicals, Mr. 40 watt. And that is exactly my point, I would of liked it if it wasn't a musical as the plot was entertaining enough. Dare I ask, Mike. What was funny about my comment? I don't think he likes the Greek scenery;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Mr. 40 watt. Very good, I must remember that one. Mrs Tannhauser did tentatively suggest going to see Mama Mia but was quickly silenced by a withering look of disdain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Very good, I must remember that one. Mrs Tannhauser did tentatively suggest going to see Mama Mia but was quickly silenced by a withering look of disdain. You should watch it. I thought I was going to hate it and for the first girlie squealing ten minutes I thought I was right. Then the scenery took hold, the brain switched off and it proved to be not at all unpleasant. I can't wait to watch it again. It'll be even better with half a bottle of wine inside me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm so grumpy and arrogant that I wouldn't let myself enjoy it. I'd rather have a miserable experience so that I could say I was right all along. (I say yes to life). I do think Piers Brosnan is good, though. I thought he was amazing in The Matador.

You haven't lived until you've seen/heard Piers sing. Watch it. Let a little ray of sunshine into your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
