"Mamma Mia!"

Pierce Brosnan sings! Meryl Streep dances! Can't you hear ABBA's "SOS"?

    Here we go again…

    I couldn't agree more with this review — except Brosnan gets a little more slack than he deserves. Yes, he's become a better actor since Bond, but not necessarily a more discerning one. He certainly could've done better than this.

    I don't know what I like more about Stephenie's reviews, that they're honest and actually get to the heart of the matter or that the comments go on for so long about how much she obviously hates films. Someone who hates film wouldn't be so passionately moved when presented with a crappy film, surely. What I see is outrage that yet another filmic insult is being shoved onto the public, which would suggest a caring about films which people who line up to see Mamma Mia — or defend it — might not appreciate.
