Mamma Mia!

I was going to write about Mamma Mia! but the Georgia Strait took the words out of my mouth (although I didn't mind Christine Baranski). Yes, the first thirty minutes features reprehensible, stereotypical screeching behaviour from the female leads. No, this film will not change your life. But you'll very likely leave the theatre in a good mood. As soma, it works quite well. MM's perfect if light and funny is the kind of escapism you are prone to enjoying. It may not be.
