Claire Bear's Thoughts

It's the story of a a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father which brings 3 men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago, told using hit songs by the popular '70s group ABBA.

Sophie is a 20 year old girl, living in an isolated but breath-takingly mesmerizing island of Greece (I read from a source the island's name is Skopelos), who never really got to know who her father is but has 3 possible candidates (Sam, Harry and Bill), ex-suitors of her mom, Donna. She longed that her dad would give her away on her wedding day so, without her mom's knowledge, she wrote to all 3 and unexpectedly, all 3 arrived. And that's when the real problem began. I'll leave the rest of the story for you to find out.

It's quite light actually but with the combination of the setting, the timeless music of Abba and the cast made the movie so unforgettably fun and superb. I was blown off by Donna's (Streep) performance especially with her Mamma Mia rooftop giddy girl dance. And her scenes with her dynamos, Rosie and Tanya, are equally hilarious.

All in all, I enjoyed every second of it!!! Loved it and definitely get myself a copy.
