Thanksgiving is a day for movies. It really is. For poor people like me, dollar movies is the way to go. The movie of choice was 'Mamma Mia'. Great choice. Except for Meryl Streep. And her two friends in the movie. It was told to me in advance that whoever did the casting should have been shot. There have never been truer words spoken about that film. Peirce Brosnan was a shining element in this film, mostly because he was trying really really hard when singing. Really hard. ABBA music was good, if cheesy. The film reminded me of Flight of the Concords in a way, minus the funny. All in all, I liked the film. It was fun, upbeat, and really really catchy. You could tell when they were about to go into song, but it was okay. It was fun. But when you are trying to ignore the fact that Meryl Streep is a million years old and pretending to be 40, alot of the fun cheesy parts just seemed to lose thier luster. Again, good flick, but just a few things got in the way of me really liking this film.

As a closing note, I would like to thank all the middle aged women (especially the ones sitting right behind me) for turning the film into a sing-along. It really made the experience...better. (please note the sarcastic nature of this final thought)
