Mamma Mia

The other big Christmas movie on the telly this year was Mamma Mia. We were probably the only people in the country who hadn't seen it yet, though it has to be said we had seen the musical in Las Vegas well before the show came to Dublin. Now, I'm not into musicals, but Mamma Mia was just brilliant, if you like ABBA that is.

I had heard pretty mixed reviews about the movie. That Meryl Streep was suprisingly good in it. That Pierce Brosnan could not sing to save his life. That it felt like being on holiday in Greece.

For me, it can never be as good as the live show, but it was a nice movie for a Christmas evening. And yes, Meryl Streep can sing, and yes, Pierce Brosnan is hopeless at it.
