Mamma Mia is one of the best musicals ever made. The songs throughout are especially catchy meaning the entire audience connects with the film when watching. Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is a twenty something girl about to get married on the Greek island where her mother (Meryl Streep) owns a rundown hotel. She would like to invite her father but herein lies the problem: since her mother had various affairs before she was born, Daddy could be one of three men. So she invites them all to the wedding, much to her mother’s horror. The three duly arrive: uptight city worker Harry (Colin Firth), businessman Sam (Pierce Brosnan) and eternal slacker Bill (Stellan Skarsgard). Completing the line-up are Sophie’s mother’s friends from her youth, extravagantly played by the exuberant Christine Baranski and the garrulous Julie Walters. Given the circumstances, it’s not hard to see where Abba classics such as Money, Money, Money or Does Your Mother Know might fit into the equation.
