Critics Consensus

This jukebox musical is full of fluffy fun but rough singing voices and a campy tone might not make you feel like "You Can Dance" the whole 90 minutes.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

Mamma Mia has been made with the most delicious, joyful abandon and all it asks is that you joyfully and deliciously abandon yourself to it and don't make too many observations.

CineWomen

An experienced, award-winning theater and opera director, Phyllida Lloyd exerts keen control of the film’s energy, if not its specious plot.

Deep Focus Review

The film’s greatest pleasures derive from the star factor. Namely, Meryl Streep. Is there anything this woman can’t do?

Rated: 2.5/4

Mamma Mia! is more than worthy in its technical aspects, it fulfills the purpose of entertaining and of course, making us remember ABBA songs... [Full review in Spanish]

One of my favorite when I was a kid. I really like how the character’s act and they have great voices when singing. I think I liked this movie the way they had musical scene’s in it, bringing a good impact to the movie. Worth a watch, you will truly enjoy it. This is also the reason how I met my all time favorite pop group ABBA. All their songs are from ABBA, basically this movie was a based from a pop group ABBA. It was great, the way they act through the song’s, you can really feel their emotion’s by them singing it, Truly great! If you love this movie, you will definitely will love ABBA. So watch the movie and listen to ABBA!

My friend showed this to me and it actually brought a smile to my face! While I typically don't gravitate towards musicals and while there could’ve been a bit more focus on the main character instead of the supporting characters, this one was executed quite well in a few scenes with its dancing sequences and musical numbers. I liked seeing Piers Brosnan as one of the possible fathers, always a good presence on screen for the audience. Meryl Streep also did well and I’m surprised at how well her and her friends moved in certain maneuvers for being their age! Dancing as an older woman can’t be easy on the bones and muscles but they did it enthusiastically and convincingly in many parts!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Que filme maravilhoso, as músicas do grupo ABBA, essa ambientação nessa ilha paradisiaca da Grécia, os personagens, a bagunça e confusão com os 3 pais, Mamma Mia! é uma experiência muito boa.
