My My, Just How Much I Miss You!

If you're familiar with the title... You're either old or having a good taste in music. Yes, it was a lyric from ABBA's song Mamma Mia! 

But I am not going to talk about ABBA today, It's Mamma Mia! The Movie that will be the topic of my blog post.

The first time I watched this movie was around 2010 or 2011, a local TV station aired this movie while I was currently doing a lab report in my dorm and I am surprisingly enjoyed it. Apparently Mamma Mia! is a movie based on a 1999 musical, which also based on ABBA songs. Former ABBA members, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson were also involved in music arrangement (and Benny was appeared as a cameo *wink*)

The storyline is quite interesting. It's about a young woman named Sophie who wanted her biological father's presence on her wedding day, and unbeknownst by her mother (Donna) she invited all three possible men who were... involved. Spoiler alert, it was very chaotic and full of drama when Donna saw her ex hook-ups arrived at her places. There are a lot of popular actors starring on this movie such as Meryl Streep (oh yeah), Pierce Brosnan (yes, THE James Bond), Collin Firth (Mr. Darcy), Amanda Seyfried, Stellan Skarsgard, Christine Baranski, and Julie Walters (a.k.a Molly Weasley). Since this is a musical movie, the actors are also involved in singing. I have to say, Pierce Brosnan sucks but others are magnificent especially Meryl Streep (QUEEN) and Seyfried. 

What I love from this movie is aside of the stellar songs (because it's ABBA duh) is the perfect amount of humor and drama. This movie can make you laugh and cry at the same time (at least for me). I'm so lucky it's now available on Netflix so I can watch it just to lighten up the mood... Now I think I want to watch it after this.
