That was the title of the movie that I watched last weekend.
It was a story about a girl who was getting married, not knowing who her dad was. She had found her mum's diary at the time when she was probably concieved; there were 3 men mentioned in that diary and she promptly invited all three men without telling her mum. The story continued as she tried to figure out who her dad was.
The story was based on a stage play of the same name, which was first opened in 1999. The story was based on songs made popular the Swedish band, Abba.
We watched the movie in the middle of the night, but because it was that entertaining, we never fell asleep during the movie. You could almost be certain that a song would burst out after every line. Many of Abba's more famous songs were featured, among them were Dancing Queen, SOS, Super Trouper, Take A Chance On Me and my favourite, Lay All Your Love On Me. It was nice to see Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Meryl Streep, Julie Walters and many of the other casts flexing their vocal chords in the movie. The location was of the movie was also exotic and I'm sure the island will become more famous.
It was reported that a sing-along version, where lyrics of the songs are highlighted, are being shown in some cinemas around the world. If it is available here in Brunei, I might go again!

I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars! Go watch it while it is still on.
On a more sour note, why can't people just go out of the cinema if they want to be engaged in a conversation? There were 2 women who sat just a few seats away chatting away throughout the movie. No matter how many hushes or hisses, they rudely ignored other people and continued to babble away with no consideration to other ticket-paying punters. I could only wish that these people are shot to death.

I love this movie a lot, one of the best..too bad that you can't really enjoyed it because of the two women..Sadly, I believe having conversation when the movie is played is part of Brunei's culture, apanya org, kebiasaan sdh, d same goes with org potong queue, really annoying..
Trust my reviews now? :p
