Mamma Mia!

20 year old Sophie (Seyfried) is preparing to marry her boyfriend Sky (Cooper) at her mother's hotel on an island in Greece. She seemingly has it all -- a carefree life, a loving fiance, and happy friends -- but one thing has been missing all her life: a father.

Mamma Mia! trailer

Typical you wait 20 years for a father and then three show up at once.

Her only wish now is to be given away by her dad at her wedding. By reading her mother's diary she discovers that she has three possible fathers. Sophie then secretly invites all three men to the wedding in a desperate bid to discover which of them is her father before the wedding bells start to chime! But not all goes according to plan: old loves are re-kindled, new loves are formed, and Sophie risks everything to discover the true identity of her father.

Featuring the songs of ABBA, and based on the world's number one musical comedy which has people dancing in the aisles every night, this movie is sure to be the hit of Summer 2008!

I have not watched the musical.  It never attracts me as I am not a fan of ABBA.... I guess that's why people like making movies.  I was interested because it's a movie.  It staged in one of the beautiful Greek islands.  It has Meryl Streep.  It has Colin Firth who can really sing!.  It has Pierce Brosnan.  And the girl Amanda Seyfried is beautiful and sweet.
