Thanked: 131
Mamma Mia! or.... No thank you for the music.
I have just come back from seeing this latest concoction of claptrap at a local cinema. It is SWMBO's mothers 50th birthday today, so it was her choice. This is what I have learnt from todays excursion:
1. It doesnt matter how many big name stars you throw at a movie (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Meryl Streep.....) if you dont have a plot then the movie will be terrible.
2. EVEN if you give the film the ENTIRE back catalogue of a huge 70s group to make a soundtrack, it will be unsuccessful WITHOUT A PLOT.
3. You cannot base a film on a series of unconnected songs. You have to write the story and THEN add the songs.
4. Pierce Brosnan cant sing. Dont believe me? Check it out here
5. Julie Walters doesnt make a bad film.
6. If you start singing in any film, everyone already knows the words AND the dance steps.
7. Unknown actresses often remain that way for a reason.
8. If you are going to make a terrible film and you fear it may not be a complete success, you may as well cram in every cliche possible, regardless of how implausible it might be. After all, how can it be going against the plotline WHEN THERE ISNT ONE!!?!
Anyone else seen it? And if you have, did you see a plot?
