Were you Mamma Mia'd this Christmas?

No, I did not get Mamma Mia for Christmas this year, but that's OK. I saw it with a friend at the theater the first weekend it came out. It's probably just as well--I don't know if hubby or my kids would enjoy it in quite the same way as I did. It is definitely a chick flick. Even though my husband likes the music of ABBA as much as I do, I think he would find some of the song and dance sequences to be rather cringeworthy. And somehow the charms of Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan would be lost on him (they certainly weren't lost on me!). I will buy it for myself sometime in the future. I can rewatch it when I have friends over or on the rare night I have the TV to myself. But this Christmas, the big movie in our household was Kung Fu Panda.

I never heard of the movie. But I don't even like the phrase 'mamma mia' so it's pretty much guaranteed I wouldn't like the movie! Glad nobody gave it to me, hehehe. I received a lot of wonderful gifts though! I hope you did too!

I took the girls 8 &9 yrs old to see it,They loved it so much we had to go back to see the karaoke version, They loved it, they bought the cd which I have to say i'm sick of listening to,It's on in the house and the car all day long, then they got the dvd, It's watched nearly daily, if not by them by their little Brother (3) who loves the money money song......only he thinks its honey honey :), For my 8yr old's birthday we did a disco party in the house spent hours doing a "cool" selection of music on the pc.....and all they listened to for over 3 hours was Mamma mia. So it's very much loved in this house...by the Children...less so by myself....and even less by my partner :). D xx

Oh God help me! I put off seeing this movie for months, but in the end I caved in like a landslide and downloaded it so my Wife and I could watch it. I am still on undecided as to whether I preferred Mamma Mia, or watching the paint on a fence dry. At this moment in time, I'm leaning towards the fence. Pierce Brosnan should NOT be singing!

I wish I had that but I didn't. I also wish I could just grab a copy of the film myself for me to watch it. Good for you my friend! I'll just hope for it for the next holidays to come.

I've not had the pleasure of seeing it yet!!! I'm sure I will soon!!!

I took my girls to see it in the cinema, They loved it so much that we went to see the karaoke version, they loved it..They were up dancing. They bought the cd, which I have to say i'm sick of listening to ...It's on morning and night...in the house and the car,Then they got the dvd, surprised it still plays as it's on every day too, if not by them by their little brother (3), He loves the money money song, he argues thats it honey honey ..... My Daughters 8th birthday party was a disco party in the house, I spent hours arranging music on the pc to suit them...and you got it...they only listened to Mamma Mia...over 3 hours of it :) And at Christmas we went to see their talent show in school...you guessed it..It was mamma mia ...(by everyone nearly the whole school did mamma mia in some shape or form, from singing to dancing)...but they were great. So it's a big hit here..from the Children anyhow....little less by me ...and a lot less by my partner :) D xx

I'm a mother and I guess I'd qualify as an "older woman" at age 56 but I must bein the minority because I did NOT receive this movie as a Christmas gift. I haven't seen Mama Mia but I'd like to and will get around to it eventually. It seems to be a very upbeat, "feel-good" kind of movie and I think we could all use some of that these days. Annie

This was not on my wish list nor did anyone impishly try to stick it in my stocking. Well, did you like it? If so, why?

I was hoping for that movie was it as good as it looked on the previews

I've been meaning to see this but keep forgetting about it every time a movie run is proposed. Part of that might come from the fact that usually the people I watch films with aren't musical people. :P (Most of the people I know aren't, it was a struggle to get my boyfriend to watch Sweeney Todd with me, and that was even rather dark, plus it featured Helena Bonham Carter & Johnny Depp... basically what I'm trying to say is, it's not your average musical. :P)

ChiQuitita Tell Me What's Wrong...Mamma Definitely got me "Mia'd"...This Movie Got me Tipsy Drunk...Oh & i realized they left out " THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE AIR THAT NIGHT...THE STARS WERE BRIGHT FERNANDOOOOOOO...THEY WERE SHINING lalala FOR YOU AND ME, FOR LIBERTY FERNANDO...IF I HAD TO THE SAME AGAIN, I WOULD...MY FRIEND FERNANDOOOOOO! Drunkity drunk drunk!
