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

    @deering

    We'll have to agree to disagree on this. I think it's a lot more realistic for people on a sun-drenched Greek island to spontaneously burst into song (Mamma Mia!), than it is for women locked up in prison awaiting their murder trials (Chicago).

    You are judging Mamma Mia! based on a 90 second trailer, whereas I've seen the entire movie, and I didn't perceive it as musical buzzkill at all. Yes, it's camp and unrealistic, and probably not Oscar material, but it's the most enjoyable film I've seen in years, which in my opinion very much makes it "fun_and_good".
