Mama Mia!

· · 🌡️ 70°F

Went to the movies this weekend with my niece and sister. We saw Mama Mia! and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was. I will admit I had some concern that it might be a little hokey (and I guess maybe some of it was), after all, it’s a musical and the music is by ABBA, but it was hysterical. Additionally, I thought that perhaps the humor would be somewhat generational, being reflective of a certain era; however, my niece is 26 and also seemed to find the humor in it … or maybe she was just laughing at my sister and me. Anyway, it’s not a very deep, thought-provoking film, but if you want some light, nonsense-induced laughter, it’s pretty good (and some of the costuming is wild). The movie has kind of been tagged as a “chick-flick” but I think guys can appreciate it too.

    Interesting. The Hummus boxes I bought a month back had free-music-download stickers for the soundtrack to this movie. I thought it was somewhat funny to put it on Greek-Style hummus. Is the movie a Greek or a Mediterranean theme?

    Yes â€" it takes place primarily on a Greek island. It's shot on location in Greece and the scenery is really beautiful â€" the kind that you look at and say “Oh, I want to go there.”
