Mamma Mia!
Fantastic! Guaranteed to lift your spirits - CineFun
What a lift to a rainy summer. The fun the music and the vibrant energy of ALL the actors. What a boost for the over 50's club ALL main leads (except 2) are over 50 - Meryl Streep is 59 and doing all her own stunts!!! Anyone who doesn't get some fun out of this movie is just sad, sad, sad. Please suspend your critical eye and instead go in lighthearted, with eyes wide with fun ready to be entertained. Leave the starched shirt at home next time, Gavin Burke - read the audience numbers and weep!!!!
