magic of ABBA's songs from "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." to "Money,
Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me," Mamma Mia! is a celebration
of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found. |
Mamma Mia - I Was the Only Guy There!
I
went to go see Mamma Mia, and I think I was the only male in
the theater. I liked the movie; even if the audience surrounding
me was all female and generally over 30 years old (probably more
like 40). But then, I like the music of ABBA. I have always wondered
why their songs made such an impact, what makes it so special.
Whatever the reason, it will be a part of our culture for at
least as long as my existence here on earth.
Most reviews gave this film
a so-so rating, and almost without except praised the music.
Well, I enjoyed both, as did the audiences I was with. They even
stayed through the closing credit. It must be that most negative
and so-so reviews came from male reviewers, and they simply did
not connect with what they perceived as a “chic flick.”
I recommend the film. It was a great
way to spend an afternoon.
