Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

TonightTurnYourWeaponsToSnow Honestly...... I have no words to describe this movie. The colonization that reeked from the screen was just too much too handle. What even were those aunts? Extra and so annoying... The three old men? Cringeworthy. The plot? Just a basic story of a typical Caucasian family vacation. Nothing special at all. Just a bunch of annoying white people and their annoying white problems. The only interesting character was Sophie.Tea time? Yes, is now officially over!1/10 DO NOT watch.

ShelbyTMItchell As it is about in the caring about the characters as well as that of getting involved with the music of ABBA if you are a huge fan of that music.Meryl Streep what can't she not do. As really no wonder they call her the world's greatest actress. And really she and then newcomer Amanda Seyfried as her daughter Sophie about to wed to Dominic Cooper and in the trying to find the real fathers. Narrowing it down to Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, and Colin Firth. But they love both just the sameChristina Barnaski and Julie Walters stars as Streep's best friends from college and a band as well as the comic reliefs of the film as they steal every single scene. I thought the singing of Pierce B was OK. But really was not offended by it. As the critics and audiences were. But it is a fun film. See this before you see the second movie!

Jared_Andrews I'm not opposed to musicals, as long as they are done well, like 'La La Land.' And though I would not call myself a huge fan of ABBA, I do enjoy a handful of their songs, many of which were used in the movie. Still, this is certainly not a movie made for me. If you love musicals and ABBA and cheesy romances, you'll probably love this movie too. If your tolerance for an absurd storyline and endless decadent musical numbers is low, you should avoid this one. At first, I didn't have to try-I just liked it. Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried exude such bubbly energy and joy that it's all easy to enjoy. The plot is somewhat believable-a soon-to-be-married girl invites three strangers to her wedding, anyone of whom may be her father. She hopes to meet her father and have him walk her down the aisle. Her mother, who hasn't seen any of the men in 20 years, has no idea what her daughter has planned. One thing leads to the next, and one song leads to the next, and try as I did, I couldn't manage to keep liking the movie. The whimsy wears thin before long. Eventually, it all builds to a ridiculous bit of inconceivable nonsense. Then more reckless decisions are made and celebrated. The next sound you'll hear isn't music. It's the slap of countless palms hitting foreheads throughout the audience. Even before the troublesome ending, the movie just runs out of steam. Then it carries on for another hour. Evidently, it's difficult to construct a cohesive and compelling movie plot around a bunch of ABBA songs (no kidding!). And to anyone who isn't an ABBA superfan, the songs become exhausting. Song plugs feel forced, and actual non-song-related conversations disappear, as does any hope that the downhill slide can be stopped. What else is there to say? The beautiful island and mostly charming characters are not enough to overcome the weak and absurd plot.

wilson trivino Many musicals don't translate well to get big screen but this one does. It is in essence a love story, rediscovering your roots and discovering who you are. With an all star cast, the movies does not disappoint. With all the fun ABBA tunes mixed in, it's a big party. Don't be ashamed to shout out loud as you become your own dancing queen.
