ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Mamma Mia! delivers exactly what one can reasonably expect from it. It's a faithful adaptation of the stage play of the same name but, more importantly, it's a repository for ABBA songs. ...read the complete Mamma Mia! movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Goofy fun. ...read the complete Mamma Mia! movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The island is beautiful. Moviegoers will no doubt be booking vacations there. The energy is unflagging. The local color feels a little overlooked in the background; nobody seems to speak much Greek. And then there are the songs. You know them. ...read the complete Mamma Mia! movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

bestselling author Rosie (Julie Walters, love her!) and professional divorc#233;e Tanya (Christine Baranski). Back in the day, they rocked out as part of Donna and the Dynamos (cue "Dancing Queen"). ...read the complete Mamma Mia! movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Review by Victor Olliver - "No, you've not gone to heaven. Don't exaggerate. You've ONLY just seen Mamma Mia! "You've got very excited. Now, calm down, dear.

musicOMH (Lisa Hunt)

'My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender.' After victory at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest Abba went on to dominate the charts for much of the 70s, their intensely catchy songs engraving themselves in the public imagination. In 1999, the band's...read the complete Mamma Mia! (2008) review at musicOMH (Lisa Hunt)

Empire Magazine [UK]

Okay, it ain’t West Side Story, but any musical that’s packed them in for a decade, played 170 cities in eight languages and been seen by over 30 million people clearly has something going for it. That something is the songs of innocent vitality and...read the complete Mamma Mia! (2008) review at Empire Magazine [UK]

So it was that I went to heaven before I went to hell. Indeed, after watching Christopher Nolan's brilliant "The Dark Knight" I returned to the cinema about an hour later, forced to endure the miserable mess that is Phyllida Lloyd's "Mamma Mia!" A...read the complete Mamma Mia! (2008) review at

Beaumont Journal (Danny Minton)

I was in physical pain from the first second to the last. I have never been an Abba fan, and dislike their songs very much, so needless to say I loathed the songs coming from a bunch of named actors that should not be listing singing on their talent...read the complete Mamma Mia!
