Mama Mia

Have you ever heard of a play/ musical called Mama Mia? How about a movie called Mama Mia? If you have not seen this movie yet, you have to go see it.
On a Greek island named Kalokairi, 20-year-old Sophie Sheridan (Amanda Seyfried) is a beautiful bride-to-be.  She sends three wedding invitations to different guys to figure out which one her father is, and they all set off for the wedding. Sophie's bridesmaids, and best friends, Ali (Ashley Lilley) and Lisa (Rachel McDowall), arrive and they talk. Sophie tells them in secret that she found her mother's diary from the year she was born, and learned she has three possible fathers. Architect Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), adventurer and writer Bill Anderson (Stellan Skarsgård), and banker Harry Bright (Colin Firth) all are possible candidates. She invited them to the wedding without telling her mother, believing that after she sees them she will 'just know' who her father is.

Owner of the island, and Sophie's mother, Donna Sheridan (Meryl Streep), is ecstatic to reunite with her best friends, cook-book author Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy multiple divorcée Tanya (Christine Baranski), and reveals her uneasiness at her daughter's desire to get married. Donna explains her precarious finances to Rosie and Tanya, and they offer to help out.

Sam, Bill, and Harry arrive, and Sophie sneaks them into the old goat house and explains that she sent the invitations, not her mother. She begs them to hide so Donna will not find out, and tells them that they are her mothers wonderful surprise, seeing the old friends of whom she "so often" speaks of. They  swear to Sophie they will not reveal her secret. Donna sees them and is unhappy to find herself facing three former lovers, and is sure that they must leave. She explains to Tanya and Rosie a secret she has kept from everyone. She is unsure which of the three guys is Sophie's father. What will Sophie and Donna do?

This is an exciting tale of love, friendship, and family. Mixed in with the movie is songs like 'Money, money, money', 'Lay All Your Love On Me' and 'Tikitita'. A timeless movie, Mama Mia is sure to be loved by everyone who sees it. I hope you enjoy it!
