So, Mamma Mia! wasn't great, but damn it looks like they had
fun making that movie!

Just finished watching it ... and really, the worst singer was Pierce Brosnan. But at least he tried!

1. You know an ensemble piece is in trouble...
... if Christine Baranski mugs to the camera LESS than the other cast members.

Pierce... funny that's what his "singing" did to my eardrums.

2. I loved it. The gritty realism of Pierce Brosnan trying to sing made the movie great.
Me and my goody two shoes never evil twin give it: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

3. I think you are right - it was more natural singing than one normally hears on musicals

4. that's a fun campy, sunny film with bits of Shakespearean-type plot

great, just for Streep, Walters and Baranski with gorgeous shots of Greece thrown in!


I think Brosnan's lack of singing ability made it more real, in a way.
