Leave your thoughts about Mamma Mia!.
| Hollywood.comPete HammondAn absolutely hilarious, rousing and joyous celebration that ought to have you dancing in the aisles. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleIt's a fluffy happy good time escape from the world, even if Pierce Brosnan is not the second coming of Elvis Presley. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinSeyfried (of Big Love and Mean Girls) is a radiant object and can sing, but I'd like to forget the others--especially Brosnan, whose singing is the best imitation I've heard of a water buffalo. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansWithout Streep front and center, this Mamma Mia! wouldn't be worth taking a chance on. |
| Film ThreatRory L. AronskyMore fluff like "Mamma Mia!" than "Made of Honor" would make mid-year moviegoing a happier experience. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonBrosnan, Firth and Skarsgard have a great time playing the bimbos who may be Sophie's dad. |

| New YorkerAnthony LaneFerocious onslaught of obligatory good cheer. |

| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekYuck!...the very model of the modern musical comedy--there's absolutely nothing original in it...[and] it looks awful. |
