My friends and I watched the Mamma Mia movie over the weekend and it was so great to hear ABBA music again! I feel melancholy and nostalgic everytime i hear gimme gimme.. And the actors did a decent job in singing the songs we love so much ^_^ However, I found myself comparing it to Muriel's wedding. And although few ABBA songs were incorporated in Muriel's wedding, i still liked the story more than Mamma Mia. Muriel's wedding showed how music affects one's life and how popular ABBA was at the time :P But i still like how they incorporated the ABBA songs into the story in Mamma Mia. When i asked my friend if she liked Muriel's Wedding better, she looked at me blankly and said she hasn't even heard of the movie -_- so, i'm asking you which movie is better and i hope i'm not the only one who has watched both films :)

I have not seen Mamma Mia yet. I don't think it is out here yet. I have watched Muriel's Wedding a bunch of times, but not for a long time. I still get that one ABBA song, "you can dance" stuck in my head all the time.

Mama Mia doesn't come out here til Friday. Muriels wedding was a good movie. But I am betting you it cannot compete with Meryl Streep. She is fantastic. Any movie that incorporates Abba music will be good. Muriels Wedding had a sad element to it. Mama Mia looks to be all fun from the previews I have seen. I cannot wait!
