Just seen Mamma Mia and thought it was fab. As did everyone else in the cinema judging by the clapping & cheering at the end. And the smiles on people's faces throughout!
It's received some acid reviews, very unfair in my opinion.
Meryl Streep was brilliant, as usual, and the the male leaRAB we're good enough to make you forgive their mediocre singing. It just didn't matter!
One review I read singled out the young actress who played Sophie as being weak.
I just didn't see this. She was lovely, fresh and just right for the part.
It was also so beautifully shot I just wanted to leave the cinema and jump on a plane to the Greek IslanRAB!

Acting in the most successful movie in the UK ever, and the 42nd most popular movie worldwide.
Why the hell should they? They hired good actors because they wanted people who could act.
Since the money has been pouring in, they probably aren't going to be convinced they did wrong.

As opposed to the Dark Knight were everything was real and no effects where used.

So how do you think we'll have done this weekend then?
For sure, it neeRAB a maturity and depth of intellect to fully understand 'Mama Mia', that'll explain why the core audience are teenage girls and housewives! Ha ha!
If you're capable of seeing past the 'oooh shiny ABBA glitter', perhaps you could enlighten me as to why this is anything but a substandard kitsch nostalgia-expoiting film?
I put forward the following:
1. Music. It has a selection of popular ABBA songs, but they were all sung better by ABBA themselves, some of the performances in the film are laughable, because the stars are actors, not singers. Some 'fan' even asked on here if the CD-soundtrack that was released had better quality singing than the dire out of tune performances in the film! Just buy the ABBA Gold CD! What's next, Joe Pasquale sings a selection of Motorhead songs?
2. Big Stars - the film has some big stars, and very good actors in it, but even they are at a loss when provided with a non-existant script such as this, the dialogue could have been written by a 10 year old. They spend most of the time singing, but with the best will in the world, none of them became famous for their singing ability, they range from poor to laughably abysmal. Julie Walters in particular, who is usually very funny, in a clever way, is here reduced to performing some gross slap-stick type vulgar comedy that would have been ruled as being too unsubtle for Carry On Matron.
3. Storyline - the storyline can be summed up in a single sentence, there is no depth to it whatseover, the end where for no reason everyone bags off with everyone else panders to some sort of pathetic teenage-angst romanticism, and in doing so loses all credibility (if there had been any left by that point). One middle-aged character deciding out the the blue that he is a gay, having apparently not had an inkling about his own sexuality prior to the events of the film is an unsubtle attempt to appeal to the predicted stereotypical core audience.
4. It's a Musical - but pretty much everyone says it's nowhere near as good as the stage musical. Perhaps those people instead of going to see this 7 times should have saved their money and gone to the theatre instead?
Quite frankly I think this film is an insult to the intelligence of cinemagoers, that they have made so much money off of it is a sad indication of the low standarRAB many people have come to accept. It is the end-product of the steady dumbing-down of entertainment over the past decade.
I actually fell asleep in the cinema watching this, it was so boring. So at least it wasn't 2 hours of my life completely wasted.

Just got back from watching this - one word - FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC!!! lol
Havent seen the stage show, but makes me want to. Thought it was great, Meryl was better than I expected and Pierce, well, I thought he was great and SOS sounded a bit like David Bowie? Definitely a feel good film with elements of cheesiness with it but I think that's what made it so great.

Currently 48th on the world wide all time boxoffice list - clearly not that ridiculous 
And it hasn't even opened in Japan yet - and they love ABBA there!
