There isn't a weak song among the two dozen which feature on the soundtrack. The music - sitting through this film brings home the strength of the Abba catalogue. But the film ultimately stands or falls - and it stands, believe me! - on two things: the music, and the cast. The script is mostly fairly deft, and there is a sprinkling of decent laughs. The Greek locations overflow with sun and primary colours. And the songs, with one or two obvious exceptions (Money Money Money cued by the rundown state of the hotel) are very cannily worked into the story so that each one is relevant. The story, such as it is, is quite strong enough to enable the songs to be hooked onto it. ![]() So Sophie invites all three of them to her wedding and, as expected, complications ensue. The trouble is her father could be any one of three men with whom her mother dot dot dotted twenty years ago. Sophie, who lives with her mother in a dilapidated hotel on an idyllic Greek island, wants nothing more than for her father to be at her forthcoming wedding. So that's my starting point when considering this movie which I have just been to see with my 80-year old mother. Conversely, I've always liked Abba's music. I'm not a Meryl Streep fan - I admire her craft, but mostly haven't liked the parts she's played. Visit her website at: like, but don't love, musicals - my DVD shelves contain a selection, but the stuff there is pretty obvious: Singing in the Rain, King and I, Wizard of Oz, Moulin Rouge etc. Much gratitude to Lauren and everyone at the Dutch Apple!
