Based on the juke-box musical bombarded with classic songs by ABBA, set in a fictional Greek island, 20 year-old Sophie is engaged & soon to be married to fiancée Sky, but doesn't know who her father is, who she wants to walk down the aisle with. She soon discovers she has 3 potential fathers, Sam, Bill & Harry, after finding her mother's diary while she was pregnant with her. When she finally meets her potential fathers, after secretly inviting them to her wedding, Sophie & her mother, Donna's worlds are turned upside-down, since Donna's been a single mother for 20 years while owning a hotel with little money & being a former member of group Donna & the Dynamos with friends Tanya & Rosie, who arrive in Kalokairi for the wedding.
The film is just amazing, with classic ABBA songs which will make you & your family sing along, with songs including Dancing Queen, Lay All Your Love On Me (which is a personal favourite of mine), Waterloo & Money, Money, Money. The actors were also just as exquisite, with Meryl Streep definitely being a knock-our in The Winner Takes It All & Amanda Seyfried sounds so pretty during I Have A Dream. However, I personally think to myself why the hell Pierce Brosnan was cast because he cannot sing at all & his voice was just awful, especially during I Do I Do I Do. Julie Walters & Christine Baanski are hilarious as Rosie & Tanya, especially during their first scene on the boat to the island & singing Super Trouper at Sophie's hen do, as well as Rosie singing a hilarious rendition of Take A Chance On Me to Bill.
Overall, this musical film will make you laugh & smile throughout, as well as singing along to ABBA classics & is definitely one for all the family.
