YABU to turn it on in the first place!

Shakey15000 · 09/01/2016 19:14

Ah, I love it for Meryl and the scenery Smile

Destinysdaughter · 09/01/2016 19:14

No as it doesn't get any better!

WitchWay · 09/01/2016 19:15

No idea how bad the start is, or the end for that matter, as I've only seen the middle which was dreadful

Penfold007 · 09/01/2016 19:15

YABVU. It's a great easy to watch film.

ALemonyPea · 09/01/2016 19:16

You've done the right thing. Now have a glass of wine to get over the shock of how crap it is.

Bombaybunty · 09/01/2016 19:16

Awful film.

PunkrockerGirl · 09/01/2016 19:23

YANBU. Complete and utter shite.

UnDeuxTroisCatsSank · 09/01/2016 19:25

Terrible terrible film.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 09/01/2016 19:25

I love it!Grin, then again I liked Live Actually too.

AnyFucker · 09/01/2016 19:26

I fucking hate that film

DoreenLethal · 09/01/2016 19:26

I inadvertently put it on one [very dull] day.

It lasted around 3 minutes. Half of one song and a smidgen of another.

Never again. Horrendous.

TangledUpInGin · 09/01/2016 19:30

Wine poured in a hope of blotting the hideousness of those 8 minutes from my mind.....What can I watch now??

YANBU - it is fucking woeful and should have been killed with fire before it was ever released.

KoalaDownUnder · 09/01/2016 19:39

Go and buy yourself a slab of fancy rocky road and put on Bridesmaids.

madmother1 · 09/01/2016 19:41

I love it and have the CD of the music...I hang my head in shame Grin

Libitina · 09/01/2016 19:41

Never seen it and have no intention of ever doing so.
My BFF has watched it over and over and over agin. I think she's weird, she thinks I am, lol.

Luciferbox · 09/01/2016 19:41

Save yourself, turn it off. It's awful.

TangledUpInGin · 09/01/2016 19:43

Bridesmaids is one of my fave films and I have an enormous box of unopened thorntons chocolates Grin

Godawful film! A few years ago I had to travel across El Salvador by bus and was the only female/foreigner so was desperately trying not to draw attention to myself.

The steward asked me if I wanted to choose the in-coach movie and I said I didn't have any preference (all the movies on coaches there tend to be macho/violent anyway)

And then Mama-Fucking-Mia starts playing (steward thought I'd like it) and all heads turn towards me. Felt really sorry for all the blokes having to endure the movie, as if life wasn't hard enough for them

SchnooSchnoo · 09/01/2016 19:45

YANBU. I almost walked out of the cinema in the first ten minutes. It's a cringe-athon.

Moln · 09/01/2016 19:45

YANBU.

I lasted for far fewer minutes than you. I tried as I was given the impression it was brilliant (obviously it is to some!!). I feel that musical films are not for me. I watched Sweeny Todd and was so bemused and disturbed I failed to switch it off; I was not so mistaken with Mamma Mia.

cardibach · 09/01/2016 19:49

If you thunk the film is bad (which I do), you should see the stage show. No, wait, you really shouldn't. Beyond shit. I love musicals, but Mamma Mia is a pile of crap. Jukebox musicals should be against some sort of law - even more so when directors cast stars who can sing in a misguided attempt to make the whole thing watchable.
YANBU.
