Mamma Mia! looked fun from the previews.  First, we didn't know it was going to be a musical.  Second, we didn't really want it to be a musical!

Meryl Streep was good as the lead actress, but as lead vocal, not quite doing it for me.  Neither was Pierce Brosnan -- he may look good ladies, but his vocal talents are strictly amateurish.  Every time he started singing, I cringed.  He sounded so strained, like he wanted to do a good job, but couldn't quite get there.

My wife and I are fans of musicals; we are children of the 80's, so ABBA is certainly a favorite; and comedies are great fun... but this messed up mix of the three just doesn't work for me.
