Mama Mia! (12A)
Musical (120mins)

18 Year-old Sophie Sheridan (Amanda Seyfried) has a problem. It’s almost her wedding day and she doesn’t know who her father is. It could be any one of her mother Donna’s (Meryl Streep) past suitors: Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), Bill Austin (Stellan Skarsgard) or Harry Bright (Colin Firth). The only way for her to find out is to invite all three to her wedding to see what happens. Mamma Mia! was the first film to be shot on the new 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios following a fire after Casino Royale (2006) wrapped. The new 59,000 sq ft stage was used for song and dance numbers that couldn’t be filmed in Greece. Benny Andersson, former ABBA member and co-composer of the songs, calls Meryl Streep “a miracle”. Streep came to Stockholm to record her vocal for the song The Winner Takes It All, and finished it in one take. Worth the Ticket Price Just to see the wonderful Ms Streep sing and dance. Irresistible!
