PLOT

The movie started with Sophie singing “I have a dream” while throwing 3 lyrics to 3 different people in different parts of the world. For Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), Bill Anderson (Stellan Skasgard) and Harry Bright (Colin Firth). She believes that 1 of these 3 gentlemen is her father.

The 3 of them arrived on the island in response to Sophie’s invitation, but she did not inform her mother of her plans. But her mother finds out that 3 of her ex’s were there on the same island, at the inn she owned. Now Donna is in big trouble. She doesn’t want her daughter to know about the 3 of them. So the 2 hide the same secret between them.

But the real twist happened during the bachelorette party when Sky, Sophie’s boyfriend, joined the party with his male friends, also at the party are Sophie’s three “fathers” and the rest of the gang. It is the moment when three of them admitted that they could be Sophie’s father. And the situation became even more complicated.

And wait until the very day of the wedding. The movie is a blockbuster!

MY REACTION

Positive: All I can say is EXCELLENT! I really love ABBA songs, and this movie definitely made me happy. From the moment I saw a DVD copy on the video stand yesterday, I immediately bought it. And today is my day off, so it’s the perfect time to watch this excellent movie. I loved almost every part of the movie, the singing, the dancing. The cast is very good at their performances, especially Brosnan and Streep, and here are some of my favorite scenes from the movie:

1. Scene where the group of boys jumps and jumps with their flippers.

2. Meryll Streep’s “winner take all” solo.

3. Scene where all the girls on the island joined Streep and her friends to sing and dance.

4. The bachelorette party dance with the guys.

And I voted because my favorite scene is the singing trio of Streep and her 2 friends acting as chorus girls.

Negative: Not recommended for people who don’t appreciate movie musicals. LOL.

GENERAL RATING:

10 out of 10 stars – Excellent

RECOMMENDATION
