A couple months back I got a coupon from Rogers for a free new release movie.
It expires tomorrow so I went to Rogers and rented Mamma Mia to watch tonight while Jamie's at the weekly meeting on campus.
The movie's playing right now.
.....
Apparently I'm not that taken with it. I think musicals are alright, but I think it's the cheese factor that I can't handle. That and the fact that sleeping around in this movie is just expected and even made light of. I dunno...I'm not impressed. It's not that I don't like ABBA - I do!
Super cheesy.
Super slutty (can I say slutty?) - but here's the thing...the movie makes you THINK it's not slutty. It's quaint. And adorable. And cute.
Meh. I'm not caught up in it all for some reason. I'll probably surf the internet and intermittently watch it.
i was actually really surprised that my mom LOVED this movie (she saw it in theatre multiple times and eventually purchased it!) because it is so sneakily sexual.
ReplyDeletei happen to love it in a slightly disapproving way...but i can understand why you wouldn't be into it.
(also, word verification = hilarious. my last comment it was "ressa" which made me think of YOU and this time it's "mormql" which for some reason makes me think of robert munsch)
i LOVED that movie too Beth's mom.
ReplyDeletesure it's on the slutty side, but try finding a show on tv or a movie in theatres that doesn't actually have a hint of sexual immorality.
Impossible.
Watching sports even... slutty cheerleaders zoomed in on, and all the sudden football is a slutty tv show.
sigh.
mamma mia! here I go again... la la :)
I guess I don't like it because it's so blantantly immoral yet so many people (aka "everyone") is all like, "Aww, what a great movie!" as if it's wholesome simply because it's a musical.
ReplyDeleteLAME.
And the ending just put me over the top. Or rather, the ending that I stopped at (when she decides NOT to get married...*rolling of eyes*).
Needless to say this is on my top 10 most hated movies (also on the top 10, What About Bob? and teen flicks in general).
I hear you V, totally with you. I was disappointed (however I saw the musical don't ask me why I thought the movie would be better...I think it's the singing and dancing thing...ya lame I know)
