I went to see Mamma Mia! for the second time today. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of women go to see it several times. Its not a fantastic movie in the strictest sense of compelling plot, killer acting, etc. Its fantastic because its just silly fun, the actors allow themselves the luxury of not being so damn serious, and the extras appear to be just plain locals. Yeah, that's a PLUS.
I read a review that remarked "the majority of the dancing was poorly performed by unskilled local extras". Um. That would be the plainly dressed or overweight Greek ladies that populated the background. The ones who look very similar to 80% of the audience. The very ladies who fork over the cash for their teenagers to see the endless stream of slasher/horror/asshat movies.
Bite our collective asses, reviewers. We're all dancing queens. Especially the fabulous woman who shrugs off her load of kindling to join the fun. Its a romp. Lets hear it for the middle aged girls who want to have fun.
