DVD Synopsis

Longing to discover the identity of her true father before she exchanges her wedding vows, the daughter of a once-rebellious single mother secretly invites a trio of paternal candidates to her upcoming wedding in this feature adaptation of the beloved stage musical. Independent-minded single mother Donna (Meryl Streep) has always done her best to raise her spirited daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), while simultaneously running a successful hotel on a small Greek island, but now the time has come for this hardworking mom to finally let go. In just a few days, Sophie will be married, and Donna will stand by bittersweetly as her little girl takes flight. Of course, Donna's lifelong friends Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski) will both be present at the wedding, but unbeknownst to the mother, Sophie has furtively invited three very special guests of her own. When Sophie walks down the aisle on that fateful day, she wants her father to hand her off. The only problem is that Donna has never revealed the true identity of Sophie's father, leaving the resourceful future bride to narrow the list down to three potential candidates. Now, as three key figures from Donna's past return to the picturesque Mediterranean shores they all walked 20 years prior, one beautiful bride will discover the secret of her past while one lonely mother finds out that it's never too late for a little romance. Phyllida Lloyd, director of both the original London sensation as well as the hit Broadway incarnation, makes her feature directorial debut with this big-screen version of the beloved musical featuring 22 classic ABBA hits. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsg�rd, and Dominic Cooper co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

As far as my husband and I are concerned, this movie is a massive waste of time. We gave up and stopped watching it about 1/3 of the way through. Given the stellar cast, it was shockingly overacted, loud and just plain overdone in every way. The women express themselves by ceaselessly shrieking in "delight", the singing and dance sequences lack artistry and talent, and there are way too many "quirky" characters trying to show how "funny" they can be and failing miserably. Even though I do like ABBA, it did not make up for the massive, unfriendly assault I found was waged on my senses otherwise. To be fair, I am writing this before I send out my copy to the next hapless bidder.

Could have been better, but it worked for what it had!

What can I say but this is a guilty pleasure of mine. Love the music, it and just makes me want to sing and dance. Yes it's a bit corny and Pierce Brosnan CAN NOT SING but loved, loved loved it!
