Have never watched this film, so sat down tonight looking forward to watching it, heard it is supposed to be really good.

Is it me or is it really cheesy with some bad acting? And the accents seem to be all over the place.

Can't decide if its good or not !

No, it's not you. It really is quite crap.

Clayhead · 09/04/2011 20:09

Personally I found it so very bad I quite enjoyed it!

AnnoyingOrange · 09/04/2011 20:10

I found it cringingly awful

and I loved Abba

sharbie · 09/04/2011 20:13

the singing ! my ears !

TaudrieTattoo · 09/04/2011 20:17

Never been so embarrassed in my life as when I watched this film.

A complete cringe-fest from start to finish.

Absolutely fucking awful. I remember excessive jumping and a truly vile all in one blue swimsuit. And Colin Firth looking utterly mortified.

But nothing can beat the arsehole-puckering mortification carnival that occurred when Pierce Brosnan started to "sing".

Just - no.

Crap story but fab music and Dominic Cooper is sizzling when they sing lay all your love on me...

But I did see it 3 times at the movies :o

pink4ever · 09/04/2011 20:20

Cheestastic! In the so bad its good category(I also saw it 3 times at pics! and instigated a singalong!!).

franke · 09/04/2011 20:22

I watched about 30 seconds of it, declared it to be cac and turned over for Hugh FW doing sour dough - that's how bad it is.

carminaburana · 09/04/2011 20:23

It's fantastic!

And PB is lovely! Mmmmm

JuicyLips · 09/04/2011 20:36

I know its not perfect but the fact it is a little bit cheesy is why I love it. Something about it works for me. (Though not actually currently watching as have it on dvd and DH wants to watch Scorpion King)

TorianaTollywobbles · 09/04/2011 20:39

Have had to turn over and am now watching the equally cheesy Scorpion King Grin

Appalling. Both of them. I'm watching golf Hmm

merlin · 09/04/2011 20:48

That's what makes it so good - the fact that it is soooooooooo bad and shockingly bad singing from PB!!!

It's not meant to be Chekhov!!!!

Julie Walters is fab though!!!!

elphabadefiesgravity · 09/04/2011 20:51

Got it on plus 1. The kids are loving it,I'm hoping they don;t ask too many questions about Sophies Dads.

I've got the London cast recording soundtrack and think I'd rather go and see it on stage instead of watching this it is cringeworthily tacky and bad acting.

carminaburana · 09/04/2011 21:00

Exactly Merlin - it's supposed to be silly crap - that's the point!
It's just a fun film.

lorelilee · 09/04/2011 21:09

I am a massive Abba fan and thought that the stage show was really shite - songs fabulous, of course, but the storyline was incredibly lame. For this reason I have never even attempted ton watch the film.

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 09/04/2011 21:11

It's crap and I love it.

shodatin · 09/04/2011 21:12

Love the songs, but what a very strange, old-fashioned film - I spent more time with Hugh F-W and Bethany H despite wanting to watch it.

ceebeegeebies · 09/04/2011 21:14

Yy to upyourdiva - the Lay All Your Love On Me part is very hot Grin

It is entertaining because it is cheesy and the singing is awful - me and DH just watched it and said it is the perfect 'switch off' film - easy watching for a Saturday night Grin

usualsuspect · 09/04/2011 21:16

It was shite ..but I loved it Grin

Littlepurpleprincess · 09/04/2011 21:18

I thought it was absolute crap. Terrible storyline and bad singing. BUT, I did enjoy watching it, it was so bad it was funny and as the singing was so bad anyway, I could get away with singing along and at least not sound worse than the actors.

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 09/04/2011 21:21

I think it helps to be tone deaf, I can't tell that PB is a bad singer.

susansocks · 09/04/2011 21:21

i love it,
love pierce brosnan

winner takes it all makes me cry. Smile

LadyWithNoManors · 09/04/2011 21:24

My dad bought me the DVD one xmas - I watched it once and hated it.
I've just watched it for the second time and really enjoyed it!
It's crap in a good way.

SeaStrand · 09/04/2011 21:25

Well as me and the kids are flying solo we've been renacting the scene from Home Alone where Kevin shouts out he's eating junk and watching garbage! We've watched it eating a KFC Dipping Platter...Grin it's the movie equivalent of scoffing a huge bag of Wotsits...sometimes you just have to.
