    oh and by the way ...

    i DO like "fun" movies and "lighten up, everyone" movies. This summer I saw and enjoyed get smart, ironman, indy jones, and sex/city. Mamma Mia just looks noisy and contrived, and like it's trying to cash in on the latest incarnation of 'sisterhood is powerful' (that is, women's fun fun fun friendships) -- tho i do want to know where the title comes from, since it's an italian stereotype saying, and they're in greece -?
