MAMMA MIA!

The film of Mamma Mia is based on the songs of legendary Swedish pop band ABBA and is an adaptation of the musical of the same name.
Mamma Mia! uses the music of ABBA to tell the story of Sophie Sheridan a 21-year-old American bride-to-be who is trying to find out the identity of her real father because she wants that he comes to her wedding.

Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard star as the three potential fathers with the Oscar winner Meryl Streep starring as the mum of Sophie.
Since the premiere of the musical in London in 1999, over 30 million people have seen Mamma Mia!
The band ABBA was the winner of the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and following that success their songs topped the charts worldwide until the early 1980s.
After a week of exclusive showing in the Leicester Square Odeon, one of London's most famous cinemas, the film was screened in cinemas across the country from 10th July.
A film critic said the film is truly wonderful. It is sharp, hilarious and very beautifully shot.
