An excellent light-hearted and enjoyable musical, based around a series of Abba songs. Amanda Seyfried is excellent as 20-year-old Sophie, and Meryl Streep entirely believable as her mother, despite being almost 60 when she danced and sang as if twenty years younger.

Clever choreography, great singing (for the most part) done by the cast beforehand, and a lovely setting on a Greek island. The theme isn't really suitable for children despite the PG rating (int he UK), but there's nothing explicit and no violence.

Definitely recommended, even if you're not a fan of musicals. The extras are very interesting too.
