Review of Mamma Mia! (2008) by Jonathan V — 19 Feb 2016

While not entirely depraved, Mamma Mia is incredibly mindless. This film has very little story, opting instead to drown the audience in unrelated song after unrelated song. This hodgepodge musical struggles to connect the music to the story but does a very poor job.

With all the filler removed, this film would probably be 15 minutes. Overall, I found the comedy forced and lame, the singing ranged from decent to atrocious and the focus was all over the place. The movie is too fun to hate but nothing near intellectual sustenance.
