    hm

    From this review, the movie sounds a lot like the musical. A bit forced, a little stiff, a little too much fun. It works live, or at least it was cute enough and drenched with enough ABBA music to work, but it seems not to have translated well into film. I wish I could say I was surprised. It's a pity Streep had to do this to herself. Oh well!
