Trivia:
"Fernando" is one of Abba's biggest hits, yet it wouldn't fit in the movie because it is about war. So to placate the Abba fans, you can hear Donna humming a few bars of the song as she walks into the old goat house while the fathers are hiding upstairs. more
Goofs:

Fantastic movie full of joy, 11 July 2008
10/10
Author: Elise Maeland from Norway

After watching the Mamma Mia! musical in London, I was thrilled to hear about the movie coming out. Meryl Streep in a musical seemed like just one reason to watch it. Well, I must say.. It was a lot more than what I expected! The beautiful scenery, the cast and the songs. A good mix of tears, laughter and love that will make you feel like you're a part of the gang and enjoy every bit of this movie. Not one of the cast members let me down. It really is a feel-good movie and it made me want to stand up and sing a long. The ABBA songs are made for dancing and in this movie it reassured me. The singing and the dancing put smiles on people's faces, and it makes you feel happy and as if all worries are gone. I certainly smiled during the entire movie. The cast members were all wonderful singers and especially the two lead actresses Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried impressed me. A well-made movie that is worth watching more than once!
