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.

Los Angeles Times

A sage once advised being wary of movies in which the people on screen are having more fun than the people in the audience. Mamma mia, was that good advice.

Rated: 2/5

Screen Rant

Part of the reason we still talk about Mamma Mia! is the fact that it's a chaotic explosion, which elevates the magic & romance of the story.

Rated: 5/10

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
