Saw it last night in a packed cinema. The first film I have seen in Aberdeen where the audience applauded at the end!

Really enjoyed it. Great fun, but Pierce Brosnan really CAN NOT sing. Meryl Streep, however, was excellent.

KatyMac · 11/07/2008 20:06

What certificate is it?

Would it be suitable for my 10yo abba fan?

PestoMonster · 11/07/2008 20:08

I think it's a PG.

OneLieIn · 11/07/2008 20:10

You know its a PG - can my 8 year old go? Is there swearing / sex etc?

OneLieIn · 11/07/2008 20:11

OH yes, and do you see more of Pierce?????? (fingers crossed)

Tnoog · 11/07/2008 20:13

I'm going to see this on sunday evening with a couple of friends and can't wait.

It'll be a hoot.

DustyTV · 11/07/2008 20:15

Saw most of it yesterday on the baby screen at my local cinema. I didn't think much to it TBH. Although I would like to see the end just to find out whatb was what, but had to leave early as DD screamed cried so much.

TillyScoutsmum · 11/07/2008 20:17

Going to the pics tomorrow - I want to see this, friend wants to see Sex & The City

I'm a charge of sorting it and unfortunately, I don't think any of our local ones are still showing SATC

Whizzz · 11/07/2008 20:22

Is it as good as seeing it at the theatre though ??

ProfessorGrammaticus · 11/07/2008 22:33

Yes, everything the Guardian says is true but it was still FAB!! I haven't laughed so much in ages, including some very unladylike snorting and guffawing

I went with really low expectations, because even though I have a soft spot for Abba I hate musicals - but I really really enjoyed it.

ProfessorGrammaticus · 11/07/2008 22:34

Particularly the lovely young men in the dance scenes - BUNS OF STEEL!!!

Janni · 11/07/2008 22:36

DH (40) saw it tonight with his 63 year old mother, his 87 year old grandmother and our 12 year old DS. They all loved it!
