Plot Summary: Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 160 cities and 8 languages around the world. Bringing the timeless lyrics and melodies of iconic super group ABBA to movie audiences, Summer 2008 is the season for "Mamma Mia!"

The three women who created the worldwide smash stage hit--global producer Judy Craymer, writer Catherine Johnson and director Phyllida Lloyd--repeat their roles in bringing this joyful, musical story to the big screen. The Mamma Mia! film is produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman.

Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper join Streep in this celebration of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads.

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends--practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski)--from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.

On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.

Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs from "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." to "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me," Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

Enough with the musicals, but if you must release them do it somewhere other than the summer time. Try January.

Enough with the musicals? What a stupid thing to complain about. How about complaining about something the majority of people are tired of, such as spoof movies or american remakes of japanese horror films

Sorry guys, I just don't think they should be released in the summer. Also, I am sick and tired of spoof movies, Japanese remakes, and direct-to-DVD sequels.

Meryl Streep, the greatest actor on the planet in her first major musical....It's going to be insanely brilliant. I cannot wait!!!

Perhaps even Academy Award nomination number 15 for Ms. Streep!!

I also love musicals and hate spoofs! If you don't like musicals, there is a simple way to deal with them...don't buy a ticket to see them. How difficult is that? As for me, I will be buying a ticket for Mama Mia...just as I did for Hairspray and Sweeney Todd...both of which I loved!

And what difference does it make when the movie is released? Why is it not okay in the summer but fine at some other time? If you don't want to see it in the summner, don't go!

My father first introduce me to ABBA when I was in 6th grade. Since then I love their songs and hope the movie will be just as great.
