MAMMA MIA

I can still recall ok ok it's not a NEW MOVIE, but I was on my way to NYC some weeks ago and feeling very tired and this movie was on the list of movies showing during the flight on those small TV sets they have now on intercontinental flights so I watched again:

"MAMMA MIA"

Big production, nice style, good actors, amazing Meryl Streep dancing like a young girl, very good acting, they really seems to be having real fun while shooting this movie and this complicity transparent to the screen.



Some minor errors specially in continuity and synchronicity sometimes but not enough to cause any trouble to the movie.

The idea is quite simple and already made millions of fans on the musical presentations, using well known musics and create a plot where those musics fit in without any trouble. Sounds easy.

The story: The girl who's getting married and plan to stay taking care of her mothers small hotel on a paradisaical Greek island. She wants to know who her father is and finds three possible men in her moms diary, she decides to invite them for the wedding without telling anyone and thats where all the quiproco starts. But since this is a musical it all ends more than well.

It all takes place on this amazing greek island (which is been trying to surf on the movie's success to increase its tourism there with their website: http://www.mamma-mia-island.com/)

You really have a good relaxing time watching this musical, it's well edited, the frames are good, they could have used a little less the color correction and the scratch software and maybe have a third and final part which could have been a little less longer with the Meryl Streep solo of "The winner takes it all"

A part from that the musical is very successful. You feel like getting on a plane and going to the greek islands, it's summer time all over again. That's the magic of this musical. A little easy film that is up to it's pretentious: make us relax.

Final words: A good pass-time. worth watching.
