Go ahead. Take away my gay card now.

I saw "Mamma Mia" the movie this weekend and I was very disappointed. Apparently I have very high expectations of of movie-musicals. I mean, c'mon; with such recent amazing productions like "Across the Universe," "Hairspray," "Rent," and of course, "Moulin Rouge," I have high tastes in the movie-musical genre.

I'm glad I went to a matinee because I would have hit myself for paying full price. As I sat through the movie, I tried to pinpoint exactly what it was I didn't like about it.

Let's see....
Hot men in bathing suits? Oh, no. That was VERY nice.
ABBA music? LOVE me some ABBA.
Hot men in bathing suits singing and dancing to ABBA on a Greek Island? Nope, that was highly enjoyable.
The surprising gay twist at the end? Um, no.
Pierce Brosnan's singing? I heard that it was kind of awful but I really didn't mind. He did look BAD though.
The bad, OVER-acting of the entire cast? Oh, yeah, that was it.
And, the annoying plot, lines and misplacement of the songs? Yup, that too.

This movie was just downright bizarre. I understand it's supposed to be funny and it's a musical and because it's a movie, it's not REAL, but I found it very hard to watch. I loved Meryl Streep's singing; she has a great voice but I found her acting strange. It wasn't just Meryl's acting; most of the cast was just really strange. I think that's why I didn't like it.

Maybe I need to see it again. It distresses me so that I found a musical I did not like (cause I love them all!).
