I don't know why I always put off watching it, but I finally decided to give it a try as Netflix just recently added it. It is such a fun and wholesome musical! I had only ever heard Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen, but now I'm in love with so many other ABBA songs.
It's so cheesy and over the top, but I enjoy how there's no real drama in the whole movie. Obviously there's issues and that's the whole plot point, but it never gets too dark. It's perfect to just rewatch and enjoy when you're in a good mood. Everyone is happy and dancing and singing!
I know I'm 10 years too late on this, but since the sequel is coming out soon I wanted to see what the opinions of the movie on this sub are!
P.S - For any fans, what do we think is up with Donna (Meryl Streep) in the sequel? She's definitely a part of it, but the trailers and plot description make it seem as if she has passed away at some point. In interviews though, the cast says that the only flashbacks are scenes of a young Donna and that Meryl herself is not in any flashbacks. I'm guessing they just didn't want to spoil any content of Meryl in the trailers? But it is very odd that her two friends are the ones helping out Sophie. Where is Donna?!?
