Mamma Mia!

Hank Sartin
HERE WE GO AGAIN Now you can sing along to Mamma Mia! in the shameless comfort of your living room.

With all the giddy, giggly energy of a ten-year-old girl’s slumber party (and roughly the same aesthetic self-discipline), Mamma Mia! practically dares you to criticize it, only to laugh in your face. From the breathless opening, in which bride-to-be Sophie (Seyfried, as cheery and full-throated as anyone from High School Musical) sends wedding invitations to each of the three men who might be her father, the cast jumps around a gorgeous Greek island, bursting into some of the most hooky pop songs ever written. This movie isn’t just unapologetic fluff; it’s aggressive, out-loud-and-proud fluff. Just like Abba. The DVD includes a sing-along lyrics option, a deleted musical number and a commentary track from Lloyd. The two-disc set ($34.98) also has several making-of featurettes.
