I’m a guy. I like musicals. I really enjoyed Mama-Mia in parts but hated the movie.
And yeah, it was DEFINITELY the story line. It was THE reason I hated it.
Wow. A guy who likes musicals. Good on you.
I hate musicals as much as I hate egg custard, so I will never see it.
What is the story line which was the reason you disliked it.
Mama Mia sucks. Saw it a few years back, when I was dragged into going. It just plain sucks.
My husband and I just saw the DVD this week. I thoroughly BARFED at the story! Truly awful!
Every cliched politically correct ( and boringly trite) belief possible was given more than its overly tired due.
1) Brave, plucky, independent, and creative single mom does excellent job raising a perfectly wonderful daughter.
2) Dad's aren't really needed or wanted after all.
3) Older white woman has the hots for a young teen black boy.
4) Gay kiss between two of the possible dads at the end of the movie.
5) Daughter and fiance decide at the last minute to cancel the wedding ( while at the altar) and travel the world as live-together honeys. ( Marriage is completely unnecessary, you see. )
6) Simple, sincere,pure hearted, and honest peasants abound dancing in the streets living the simple life.
8) Older female friend aggressively chases one of the suspect dads.
9) Friendship between female friends is far, far, more true and lasting than any relationship with a man.
10) Sleeping around slutiness as a hippie is glorified as quaint. That a daughter is the consequence of this sluttiness is just an unfortunate “accident”.
11) Prudish grandparents rejected the slutty mom and her bastard daughter. ( In the author's eyes, the grandparents were probably hateful Christians.)
9) Oh! And..Let's not forget a tribute to the Greek godess, Aphrodite at the very end of the movie.
