Mamma Mia really is the most atrocious film ever, is it not?

Jeez, DP just made me sit through it. Bloody awful, cheesy story line, awful music crow-barred. To make it worse, there are some decent actors in there, what were they thinking?

I haven't seen it yet. May watch it on sky later if there isn't anything else on!

Don't, you'll want to scratch your eyes out.

One of the most atrocious. Up there with 'The Hangover' [shudder]

I haven't seen that, is it awful? DP is recommending it (which is usually a bad sign, his favourite film is French Kiss)

mamma mia must be watched when drinking lambrini through a straw with your silliest mates. Very enjoyable

Worried about your DP

I just couldn't get into it in the slightest. I have nothing against Abba - the whole thing was just vaguely embarrassing

I though The Hangover was hilarious though!

the thing about mama mia is that you have to imagine it as a stage show which is esentially what it is - then its cheesiness, bad set and costumes and OTT acting are totally appropriate.

The Hangover is probably very funny if you have a high-tolerance for the emotionally-stunted and want to laugh at:

o fat people in jock straps
o chinese people with no penises
o men who want to avoid their wives and children.

Oh, and Mike Tyson is in it.

It is indeed...

I saw it when one week overdue with DS and nearly had too leave - it was all too happy and smiley and I really wasn't in the mood.

Mind you, saw Australia last night and that was almost as bad IMHO.

Well I loved it because the music was good and it didn't not involve any brain power to watch it.

It is just a cheesy, fun film. My friends and family loved it too.

intellectual it certainly isn't.

Maybe it depends how stressed you are as to how much you enjoy it? It was much needed 'time out' for me.

It's not that bad. I agree about the dungarees though. Cringy!

The music might have been good, but Pierce Brosnan Can Not Sing and shouldn't be allowed to try in public. Ouch.

Hsven't seen it. Not going to bother.

But I did get round to watching something else I hadn't seen before on DVD the other day. Richard Armitage in North and South. It's going to take a long time to recover, if ever...
