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!

giddykipper · 21/06/2009 13:32

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

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

giddykipper · 21/06/2009 13:34

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

TheFool · 21/06/2009 13:36

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

jellybeans · 21/06/2009 13:37

I liked it!

Thunderduck · 21/06/2009 13:38

I rather like it.

MrKrabs · 21/06/2009 13:39

It is so bad i never got why everyone likes it and i love abba

all those dungarees, the JUMPING OFF thigns all tehtime
it was shite

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 21/06/2009 13:39

I was soooo disappointed with it. i was really looking forward to it but didnt enjoy it at all....I just didnt get it.
I though The Hangover was hilarious though!

schneebly · 21/06/2009 13:43

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.

theDreadPirateRoberts · 21/06/2009 13:45

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.

mears · 21/06/2009 13:52

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.

mears · 21/06/2009 13:53

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

cornsilk · 21/06/2009 13:53

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

theDreadPirateRoberts · 21/06/2009 13:53

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

FigmentOfYourImagination · 21/06/2009 13:53

I cannot bring myself to watch it.

MrKrabs · 21/06/2009 13:54

le poisson - how ARE you

mears · 21/06/2009 13:57

Tres bien! Et toi?

Katisha · 21/06/2009 14:04

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...
