"Mamma Mia!"

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

    Glad to see it

    Well, I'm glad to see that Stephanie appreciated Pierce Brosnan's performance to some degree...if not his singing. He is one of the major reasons I've been wanting to see this movie for some time. (Streep, the chance to see them together, and the music of ABBA, which I find infectious, are the others.) I've seen a number of clips from the movie as it's been promoted on various programs, and though I'm well aware that short clips can give a very misleading impression of the overall tone and effect of a movie, I have to say that I found my foot tapping and I was left with quite a positive feeling. I plan to see the movie this weekend, and I rather suspect I will enjoy it a good deal...no matter what Stephanie says.
