Mamma Mia!

[Mikaela]

Oh yes! I HAVE to see it again too. It was such a boost of positive energy. And Meryl Streep is a goddess.  Seriously.

And the locations... I must admit every time I've seen the trailer I've grinned a bit at the place that mail box is placed - it has to be the most scenic location for such a mundane item in the whole vide world. 

It's great to see the film is doing such good box office. It's been the big summer hit here in Norway, of course - but in the US it's been chugging along strongly and surely and it's made 88 million dollars domestic so far - certain to go beyond 100, I would say.

I saw it yesterday and I really enjoyed it! The scenery was gorgeous and Meryl Streep was wonderful as always. I was really surprised by Amanda Seyfried (Sophie). The only other role I've seen her in is the dumb one in Mean Girls, but I thought she was great in this!

There was a woman two rows in front of me who was just having a great time. She was dancing in her seat during most of the songs, and I saw her mouthing the words a lot also. It was almost as entertaining as the movie!

Tell you what, Norwegians are going totally bananas for Mamma Mia. After nine weeks in theatres, it's still in the top spot. It's by far the most popular film of the year, - it has sold more than twice as many tickets as The Dark Knight, and is just leaving TDK more in the dust for every day that passes. The decline in MM ticket sales from week to week is surprisingly minimal. People are going back and watching it again. And again. And now several cities have introduced sing-along showings as well, which has proved very popular.

I've seen it twice now but I feel the urge to see it again. A sing-along opportunity would be great!

I STILL haven't seen it! Nobody wants to go see it with me.

Can you believe that?

Just go!  Want to spend your whole life waiting for someone else so you can enjoy yourself?

[Kelda]

Yeah!! Go yourself!!

I saw an ad today for Mamma Mia which was saying singalong at selected versions - I would totally go to that!

Well, if the movie is ANYTHING like the original stage version of Mamma Mia, it wouldn't be any fun at all unless I went with somebody else, or better yet with a whole group of people. I saw the stage musical more than a dozen times including once at the Winter Garden Theater in New York back in 2002 and I always went with a group of friends. It's more fun that way.

Anyway, I don't think it's playing at the theaters here in Indianapolis anymore. I'll check the paper tomorrow. I can always buy it on DVD once it goes on sale.

I know what you mean.  When "Grease" was re-released, I didn't go alone.  It was more fun to be with a group and sing and dance with them.

[Kelda]

Have you gone yet David?

[CellarDweller]

sounds like you had a great time!
