mamma mia
Okay, I admit, I have been skeptical about the Meryl Streep/Pierce Brosnan Mamma Mia film since I heard about it. Recall that I came home from the show's national tour six years ago (omg) in raptures not because the show was so good, but because it was so much better than I'd had any reason to expect. So I'm, like, hmm, I don't know how I feel about this trend of making movies of musicals and filling them full of famous people slumming. Maybe that's not a fair attitude, but that's my reaction, there it is.
But I've now seen the trailer enough times to say Hang On, are the other two women, the mother's friends, is that Julie Walters and Christine Baranski? SOLD!
And then I feel shame. But, you know, it's not like I wasn't going to see the thing anyway. It's just that now I'll be a little less frustrated by it, but a little more annoyed with myself for being less frustrated. Ah, well, what are you going to do.

And it doesn't disappoint. Christine Baranski does steal all her scenes. All that being said, a touch of alcohol wouldn't go amiss.
I was actually thinking of perhaps, the weekend that it comes out, having a small Mediterranean-themed cookout prior to a viewing of the movie? Are either of you two interested in such a scenario?
