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.

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]

Literally one of the greatest movies ever. I’ve probably watched it more than a dozen times and still enjoy it every watch. Cast, Songs, and Filming is all so on point!

I saw Mamma Mia!, the live musical, in person which was the best show I’ve ever seen. That deserved 5 stars. Watching this version however, I believe they should have just cast that cast rather than these Hollywood actors who cannot sing. I felt second hand embarrassment watching them cringe-sing, like Pierce Brosnan and the lads (oof), although they are beautiful people and the sets are lovely.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
