Mamma mia is a musical romantic comedy that was released in 2008 set in Greece starring a bunch of people like meryl streep as Donna, Amanda Seyfried as Sophie, pierce brosnan as sam, colin firth as harry, Christine Baranski as Tanya, Julie Walters as Rosie, stellan skarsgard as bill, and Dominic Cooper as Skye. The director of this film was Phyllida Lloyd. All of the songs from this film are from a very popular Europop band called abba. with a budget of only 52 million dollars everything about this movie is a masterpiece i think i call it a masterpiece because it has songs from abba (my favorite band ever) but even if it didn’t have abba songs i would still think it’s a masterpiece because this film is that good.
It’s the day before sophie’s wedding and she just revealed to her 2 friends that she invited 3 men harry, bill and sam to her wedding because she read her moms diary and saw she slept with each of those men and since she never knew her real dad she invited them so she could figure out which one could be her real dad and walk her down the aisle as she gets married. She doesn’t tell her mom because she knows it would upset her. The 3 men arrive that day, and Sophie doesn’t know which one is her dad. She hides them in her mom’s boathouse because her mom is coming, and she doesn’t want them to be seen by her mother. But her mom sees all her exes and goes crazy her friends comfort her then they run right back and discover all the men are gone, her friends then try to comfort her again by signing dancing queen by abba and it works.it later shows that Sophie’s mom kicked her 3 exes and when Sophie realised this she swam to the boat and convinced the 3 men to stay until after the wedding the agree. Sophie also learns a little bit more about the 3 men her mom used to date. It then cuts to Sophie’s mom and her best friends singing “Super Trooper” for her daughter Sophie, I think, as a part of her upcoming wedding. Then Sophie’s mom saw her 3 ex-boyfriends, so after they were done singing, she ran off because she didn’t want them to see her. Then, a little bit later, Bill says that he is Sophie’s dad, and then Sophie asks him to give her away at her wedding tomorrow. Then, all of a sudden, Sam says that he is Sophie’s father and that he is going to keep the secret of him being Sophie’s dad until tomorrow. Then, all of a sudden, Harry says that he is Sophie’s father, and he says that he will walk her down the aisle at her wedding tomorrow. Then Sophie passes out, probably because she is overwhelmed with everything going on. Both Sophie and their mom have a problem, Sophie is trying to find out which one of her moms exes is her dad so Sophie and her friends are each going to grab an ex and interrogate them while sophie’s mom is trying to kick her exes off because she thinks they’re going to miss up her daughter wedding. Sophie’s mom’s friends are going to distract the men so they will miss Sophie’s wedding. At the boat, the 3 men come by, and Bill and Harry are talking. Bill says he likes Rosie, one of Sophie’s mom’s best friends, but is afraid to take her on.
What they don’t know is that Rosie is on the boat listening to their conversation. Then, the mom and Sophie get into an argument about the wedding. Then, a little later on, Sam and Sophie’s mom talk, and they talk about how Sophie might want to call off the wedding because she doesn’t want her mom to be all alone. Then they start signing “sos” to them when they’re not paying attention. The reason is that they’re trying to tell each other that they still like each other, but when they do, the other person is not paying attention. Then, all of a sudden, Harry gives Sophie’s mom a check to help out with the wedding. A little bit later, Sophie tells Skye that she invited all her dads to her wedding because she needs help, but then Skye accuses Sophie of only doing the wedding so that she could find out who her real dad is. Skye is mad at Sophie because Sophie thinks if she knows who her dad is, it will help her find herself, but then Skye tells her she has to look for herself. Also, he’s mad. He was going to travel but put it all on hold for Sophie because he loves her. Then, Sophie asked her mom to help her get ready. Then, while Sophie is getting ready, her mom sings “Slipping Through My Fingers” because she thinks she is getting old and doesn’t want her to forget about her mom. Then sophie’s mom and sam are talking about Sophie and then Sophie’s mom starts signing “the winner takes it all” because she is implying that romantic relationships are a zero-sum game, that one person gains are another person loses the person who is gaining is sam and the person who lost is Sophie’s mom. Sophie’s wedding starts right after her mom climbs the stairs to get to the church. Even though all 3 dads wanted to walk Sophie down the aisle, her mom ended up doing it. Then Sophie’s mom tells everyone at the wedding that Sophie’s dad is there, and also Sophie says she knows her dad is her, but then her mom says even she doesn’t know who her dad is. Then Sophie’s mom realizes it was Sophie who sent the invites to her wedding. Then her mom asks for forgiveness for not knowing who Sophie’s dad is. Then Sophie says she forgives her no matter what because she’s her mom. Then Sophie and her mom get mad at Sam because he just dumped Sophie’s mom and left, but then he says he dumped his wife and came back for Sophie’s mom, but they told him she went with someone else. Then Harry comes forward and says he’s glad to be ⅓ of Sophie’s dad, and then he says Sophie’s mom was the only and last girl he liked because Harry ended up being gay. Then Bill also says he’s glad to be ⅓ of Sophie’s dad. Then, Sophie says she doesn’t want to be married anymore, which leaves everyone shocked because she wants to see the world with Skye. Then Sam goes up and asks Sophie’s mom if they can get married by singing the song “I do, I do, I do”; then they end up getting married. Then Rosie asks Bill to take a chance on her by her signing “take a chance on me,” and Harry asks the guy he likes to take a chance on him too. Both of them agree to take a chance with each other, Rosie and Harry and Bill and the guy he likes. Then, after, they all celebrate everything that has happened, and that’s the end of the movie.
I honestly thought that Mamma Mia was a great movie because everything about it was perfect. The signing, the dancing, the jokes were funny too but some things i can understand people will hate about this movie is we never figured out who Sophie’s dad is that’s the only thing i hate about this movie because the whole point of the movie was to find out who sophie’s dad is but then we never figured out who sophie’s dad was. Other than that, I thought this was the perfect movie.
In conclusion, I thought this was a great movie. With all the singing and dancing and the acting, everything about this movie was perfect in my opinion, but that’s just me. This is my summary of Mamma Mia, my review, and why I disliked it a bit.
