Mama Mia!

Yes, I went to see it. No, I won't tell you to. Unless you want to, that is.

I've said it too many times lately, but if you have to explain the movie "Mama Mia!" to anyone...they're not going to get it. Just.No.

However, a review requires certain basics, so here goes.

There's this girl who was raised by her single mom, who is getting married. Together they run a hotel?inn?hostel? on a Greek island. The girl has read her mom's diary and learned there are three guys who could possibly be her father. So she invites them to the wedding.

Um, yeah--we stepped outside of reality the second we stepped into the theater. It's a FRICKIN' MUSICAL, PEOPLE!

And here's the deal: you already know all the songs. I don't care if you hate ABBA, you really do already know the songs.

But it's fun anyway.

I won't tell you who is actually her father, who falls in love with who, what plot twists occur SIMPLY TO FIT THE LYRICS OF SONGS WRITTEN IN THE 1970s!

Because that's the fun part. But if you needed that information, you still won't get it.

To quote the BeerHound, "If you don't already know, I'm not going to tell you!"

See it if you want. Voulez vous?
