I have a pretty big family I was visi...Great show. I have a pretty big family I was visiting on the east coast and we have 3 generations of Mama Mia fanatics. My sisters and my mom have been to New York several times to see the show. Now my 5 and 7 year old ultra-princess nieces both have the movie DVD and like to wake up and dance to Honey Honey in the morning.<BR/><BR/>I hated the movie version the first time I saw it but it grows on you and it's weird how you start to love the cheesy, hamminess of it all. I think my nieces hardly even notice the 3 possible fathers - they just see Amanda Seyfried ( who was wonderful ) and Dominic Cooper.<BR/><BR/>It was amazing to my nieces get the songs in their blood and dance with their girlfriends. <BR/><BR/>I've never seen such a disappointing movie have this kind of positive effect. I think it will be kind of like West Side Story - people bought the soundtrack and grew up with the songs and learned to love the whole movie, flaws and all. I still cringe with Puerto Ricans in West Side Story with their bronzed skin makeup and dance numbers where they shoot "Ole!."<BR/><BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
