Critics Consensus

This jukebox musical is full of fluffy fun but rough singing voices and a campy tone might not make you feel like "You Can Dance" the whole 90 minutes.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Mamma Mia has been made with the most delicious, joyful abandon and all it asks is that you joyfully and deliciously abandon yourself to it and don't make too many observations. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The story is ... urh. No film has ever had a more irrelevant story. Rated: 1/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Annlee Ellingson CineWomen An experienced, award-winning theater and opera director, Phyllida Lloyd exerts keen control of the film’s energy, if not its specious plot. Jul 28, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The film’s greatest pleasures derive from the star factor. Namely, Meryl Streep. Is there anything this woman can’t do? Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Mamma Mia! is more than worthy in its technical aspects, it fulfills the purpose of entertaining and of course, making us remember ABBA songs...

Flory Love this movie, this was my best Mothers Day ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Melissa Loved getting to watch one of my favorite movies in the theatre again!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review Rishi this movie was for the gays and for the gays only Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/22 Full Review karolina K Since I was young, I've absolutely loved "Mamma Mia!" — it’s been one of my favorite movies for years. The songs they chose, all ABBA hits, are so catchy and fun; they perfectly fit the story and make me want to sing along every time. The entire cinematic experience is stunning, especially the vibrant, sun-soaked scenes in Greece, which now tops my travel bucket list because of this movie. The cast is phenomenal, with actors like Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried bringing so much life and charm to their roles. The choreography is another highlight; every dance sequence is so energetic and perfectly matches the joyous vibe of the movie. Honestly, I don’t have a single bad thing to say about "Mamma Mia!"— it’s the kind of movie that makes me feel happy every time I watch it, and it’s definitely a musical masterpiece in my eyes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Lee C Just re- watched since we luv the music and wanted something lite. Guess I forgot how cringey was the acting. Would comment on the story line if there was one that made sense.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Eu odiei esse filme Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
