ok i love this movie, so endulge me. i've seen it a couple times now
but when it came on the other night i had to watch it again. one,

really like 3 out of the four. two, i thought it was really funny.

streep's voice i was surprised, to me, is sexy as all hell and
seyfried doesn't do so bad either. course brosnan voice idn't to good,
however, good for him for doing it anyway. five? i reiterate, streep

It's been a while since I've seen this one, and I've only seen it
once, but I admit to being pleasantly surprised. I had seen the stage
production and thought it was great, but in my opinion, plays don't
often translate well to the screen. I HATED *Chicago*. It's just
that movies and plays have a different feel to them, and if you do a
movie and make it feel too much like a play, it feels really corny and
awkward and crappy. So, I was really, really glad when *Mama Mia*
ended up being a solidly enjoyable, well-done musical film. I assumed
it would be terrible and hard to watch, but I liked it.

I think my main motivation for responding to your post, however, is to
recognize your admiration of Streep. I honestly think she might be
one of my favorite actresses, which strikes me as funny only because I
think for a 32 year old guy like myself, that's not an obvious way to
go. But I think she's consistently very, very good. I take guff about
this from people, so I'm glad to see that you appreciate her talent.

Streep is definitely a Talent.  She's good.  The movie is fun and different,
and I loved the setting.  I also say Cheers to Brosnan for singing even
though he also knew he wasn't going to shine with that.  Good for him!
Anyway, it kind of broke up any monotony in the music, if there was any,
and set him apart from the other two fathers.  Something had to fill that
demand.  It's good. It has played on t.v. here every weekend, several times,
now for at least three weeks and  I will probably look for it again this weekend
coming up.
