Movie Review: "Mama Mia!"

Shocking I know that I watched " Mama Mia! " this summer, it wasn't my idea of course, and was the payment necessary for getting to watch what I really wanted to see: " The Dark Knight ". Now I fully expected to experience 90 minutes of torture, but the flick was surprisingly (mostly) pain-free. The story was flimsy, and the dance routines were kind of stiff, but somehow the Greek setting and the attractive cast (including extras) made it semi-enjoyable. Of course, I have to mention that the writer seemed to have run out of steam when she decided to inexplicably turn one of the potential-fathers into a homosexual -- which started from an off-the-cuff remark from another character -- as she apparently didn't create any other female character for him to hook up with. It certainly made no sense. All in all I'd rate it as a CABLE viewing. - QBF
