Mama Mia

Dragged Hubby to see 'Mama Mia' on Saturday (after I convinced him that 'Dark Knight' would be too crowded this weekend). He thought it was okay (and it did provide an escape from the Texas heat), but I liked it. Must admit that I was frustrated by the way the singing/dancing scenes were shot/directed: mediocre choreography, cameras out of focus at times, and dancing scenes shot with little to no wide-angles. Why bother having dancing scenes if you are filming from the waist up? Overall, I left the theatre feeling happy with the movie, but disappointed in that it had the potential to be even better if it had been under the helm of a 'more-seasoned' director. If you enjoy ABBA music you'll like 'Mama Mia', if not, don't bother.
