Donna, an independent hotelier in the Greek islands, is preparing for her daughter's wedding with the help of two old friends. Meanwhile, Sophie, the spirited bride, has a plan. She secretly invites three men from her mother's past in hope of meeting her real father and having him escort her down the aisle on her big day.

Critics Consensus

This jukebox musical is full of fluffy fun but rough singing voices and a campy tone might not make you feel like "You Can Dance" the whole 90 minutes.

Mamma Mia has been made with the most delicious, joyful abandon and all it asks is that you joyfully and deliciously abandon yourself to it and don't make too many observations.

The story is ... urh. No film has ever had a more irrelevant story.

A sage once advised being wary of movies in which the people on screen are having more fun than the people in the audience. Mamma mia, was that good advice.

5/10

Part of the reason we still talk about Mamma Mia! is the fact that it's a chaotic explosion, which elevates the magic & romance of the story.

An experienced, award-winning theater and opera director, Phyllida Lloyd exerts keen control of the film’s energy, if not its specious plot.

2.5/4

The film’s greatest pleasures derive from the star factor. Namely, Meryl Streep. Is there anything this woman can’t do?

I had no clue that this was a musical. This one successfully got into the right books for me though. It was just a refreshing, breezy, beach, chaotic bundle of joy. It is retro and vibrant and always golden. Like most other musicals, it had its annoying share of the characters breaking into unnecessary songs and unfitting lyrics for long periods. But I almost tuned out, for the voices were light and the shots simply mesmerizing. The story does not even matter, nor does it matter who the father is. At the end of the day it is one of the most upbeat films I have ever watched, drenched in Golden, White and Ocean Blues. I adored the outfits and the bold prints. The characters are endearing to all ends—all the trios—the girls, the ladies, and the dads.
