My theory about this movie disaster is that everybody thought: “heck, Meryl’s doing it so it can’t be THAT bad...” It was. It is possibly one of the worst movies ever made.
Hard to believe as it may be, I didn’t know this movie was a musical, because I paid little attention to what was said about it. So a few months ago, Directv was offering a free week of some movie channel, and “Mamma Mia” came on. I watched a little, and then all of a sudden Meryl Streep started singing. No matter how good the story might be, when actors start breaking out into song, it turns ridiculous for me.
I enjoy the music of ABBA but that movie was BAD! I had to leave the room, it was so bad.
And I like musicals.
