Mamma Mia

I went to this movie last Thursday night with 7 women. We went to the new CineMagic theatre by the Burnsville mall. I was invited by my Mother in-law so it was not my movie choice. Keep in mind that I do love ABBA and have ABBA Gold on my ipod but I'm not too sure about movies that are musicals. I loved it! I alternated between laughing at the somewhat ridiculous scenes and crying (tears coming out of my eyes) but more out of amazement at how well the actors did with the songs. Meryl Streep is great and it doesn't hurt that Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth are in it. Christine Baranski was my favorite though - (she played Cybill Shepherd's often drunk friend MaryAnn on Cybill). It's amazing the range of talents some of these actors have. Now I wish I would have seen the play out in Manhattan last summer.
