Here's the kicker, I like ABBA's music and always have. And you would think that a dutiful husband after watching every episode of Sex and the City AND taking her to see the movie, my dues would have been paid up for eternity but no, I had to fall for Mama Mia.
In all fairness, I do not like musicals and hate Disney animated films with those lame songs. When my Mom first took me to see musicals, I didn't know if she was trying to "gay" me up so she'd get free hair stylin' and interior design but I went for the snacks. But the first ones I was subjected to were very confusing because they'd just start singing for no apparent reason other than it was called a musical. And they'd stand in front of sets built by Mrs. Jorgenson's 4th grade class and either sing up to the sky or in someone's face. I'd watch that and think 'what if they have bad breath' or 'how do they keep from laughing'?
I have no idea how they can have a Mama Mia II, they sang every freakin' song ABBA even considered recording. The only thing worse than the singing was the acting and dialogue when they weren't singing. I not only hate the movie, I hate the people in it. I even hate everyone that went to see it and liked it and that is the first question I ask when first meeting someone. The first is "did you see Mama Mia"? The second one is "did you feel like murdering a village when leaving the theater"? If they say yes, we can be friends.
Ya know my idea of a good musical? A Knight's Tale, now that's a musical.
