Film talk I guess..

So, I felt that it was time that I tried to add something equally witty and sarcastic to my blog as my other classroom friends, but then I realised that I shouldn't really even try to bother!

So then, I though I know I'll write my own review on Mamma Mia, which I saw last weekend! Now, there had been a few mixed reactions about this film and I can see why. Half the population of boys refusing to see! But I mean who doesn't want to see Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth with their shirts off?

Phwoar aren't they just hot?

Anyway back to the film. The first ten minutes of the film were suggesting a very sloshy girly chick flick, and the other half of the brave men who even dared to enter the cinemas were jumping for the exit. After another fifteen long minutes of Amanda Seysomething(Sophie)dallying with her friends proclaiming that she had sent three letters to three possible fathers, you finally see Meryl Streep strutting her stuff'. Then Meryl Streeps(Donna) friends finally arrive (Julie Walters and Christine Baranski) adding the humour which the film really needed. Amanda goes around the island singing for a while and then the three hotties(cough cough) arrive to pick up the pace of the film. Everything goes to plot when Donna finds out that threee of her ex's have turned up for her daughters wedding, unbeknown to her that Sophie was the one who invited them anyway..confused yet?

The evening before the wedding is a time for Donna and the gang to get back into their glad rags and have a song and dance (funny that). The men all turn up and ruin the party, everything gets a little too out of hand and it turns into something which shouldn't be rated PG. Each potential dad saying that they will give Sophie away and Donna have a mental break down makes for the last half an hour of the film.




Gah!

Then the day of the wedding comes and Sophie gets all emotional and says she doesn't want to marry some guy (then why make this film?) and everyone is in tears =[ But then they do get married and Peirce Brosnana tries to talk to Donna but she's having none of it. The potter up to the church which appears to be on a very large rock and they are all sitting there waiting for them to get married, some big argument occurs(as usual) and shockingly Peirce asks Donna to marry him...Ooooooo! Then they have a massive party and that reveals that Colin Firth is indeed gay. It rains (?) and they all dance topless (urh) and everyone gets their happy ending, there you go end of film.

Now, it may seem that I hate this film, but I don't! I think that this film is incredibaly cheesey and the singing on some occassions is dire, but I guess it's part of the fun hey?! The actors make the film and for me Julie Walters made it. An amazing laugh, one to watch with your friends! Well do not be discouraged by my lovely review of it, you should still go and see it. If you love ABBA then you will definately love it, I have been singing the songs all week now..damn!

Rachels Rating: 9/10
