    Just like the musical

    Which Stephanie obviously didn't see. However, when I was dragged by a friend to see the musical (ABBA never moved me musically), I actually liked the storyline, despite its implausability.

    It IS a musical and a comedy, and I have yet to see a musical comedy that is truly realistic.

    In short, all the complaints she has made about the movie apply also to the stage version, so what's the point?
