mamma mia!

by

In a very rare occurence (and we mean EXCEPTIONALLY rare), all four members of ABBA were in the same place at the same time last night. 

Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad all came to support former band mate Bjoern Ulvaeus in the opening of his Mamma Mia! themed restaurant in Stockholm. 

The notoriously private foursome have not performed live together since the eighties and the last time they were all publicly in the same room was for the premiere of the Mamma Mia! film in 2008.

So as we said people, this was a rare occurrence. 

However, the band did not seem to want to excite fans as they refused to pose in pictures together and shot down any reports that we would ever reunite for a live performance. 

"I don't think so," said Benny. 

Awh! 

However, you can head over to Bjoern's new Greek style restaurant in Stockholm which encourages customers to sing along to their favourite songs from the musical Mamma Mia!.

It looks pretty fun as musicians and actors interact with waiters and guests who are lucky enough to be dining there. Anyone up for a quick trip to Sweden?

Apparently you either love or hate Mamma Mia! And that's if you've even SEEN it!

In light of the shocking revelation that some people have yet to feast their eyes on the glory that is this all-singing, all-dancing musical extravaganza, we have taken it upon ourselves to rectify this love/hate/never seen issue and have provided just a few reasons why watching Mamma Mia! is an absolute must.

If musicals or ABBA classics aren’t your thing, then surely the goddess that is Meryl Streep is enough to keep you glued to the screen?  

Basically, we defy anyone to watch this 2008 box office smash and not have their spirits lifted and their toes tappin’.

​The Reasons

1) Meryl Streep will do the splits, mid-air, in navy overalls and it will be really, really good. No, really.

2) Pierce Brosnan will sing and it will be really, really bad. No, really.

3) Meryl and Amanda Seyfried will have a tender mother-daughter moment while singing Slipping Through My Fingers and it will make you cry. Really cry.

4) Julie Walters will slide down the banisters of a stairs; it will be cheesy and embarrassing and you will love it.

5) Amanda Seyfried will have a glitzy, girlie Hen Night which you will want to be part of, but you can’t. Sob.

6) Dominic Cooper and his band of stags will be topless, but you’ll be too busy admiring the goddess that is the fresh-faced Amanda.

7) Meryl Streep will perform The Winner Takes It All on top of a mountain in a red shawl and you will feel her pain. All of it.

8) Christine Baranski will dress a grown man in a nappy while singing Does Your Momma Know? and the sheer absurdity of the scene will endear you to the film even more.

9) The entire cast will run through a small Greek island in the sunshine singing their hearts out and you will want to be running and singing with them, but you can’t.

10) You will learn that the phrase ‘dot, dot, dot’ means ‘sex’. Who knew?

If the above hasn’t reeled you in, then go on without us. We can do no more for you.

We can blame it on the time or our age but there some films that we shouldn’t like, but still do:

Coyote Ugly
This made us feel old but this teen movie is over 10 years old. The story wasn’t great, the singing wasn’t great and we can’t forget the questionable dancing, but it did produce the LeAnn Rimes hit, Can’t Fight the Moonlight.

Spice World
Who didn’t want to ‘Spice up their life,’ when the biggest girl band in the world decided to release their own movie. The plot and acting wasn’t great but even still, it’s hard to deny that it didn’t give you some laughs.

The Blair Witch Project
Some still maintain that this is the scariest film of all time but the majority will probably remember it for the not-so-flattering angles of a runny noses.

Mamma Mia!
Who knew a film full of big names would actually have so little singing or dancing talent? However, you would be lying to yourself if you didn’t admit to singing along to those ABBA hits.

Crossroads
Crossroads was the time old tale of how Britney was not a girl but also not yet a woman. You may also recognise some other familiar faces in this questionable road trip classic.
