Movie – “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”

Here we go again with Abba songs, dancing and romancing, retro fashion, a sunny Greek island, and the 3 Dads.

Hello Friends,

Fans have waited ten years for the next Mamma Mia movie. It’s here, and if light-hearted entertainment is for you, go see the musical and romantic comedy. It’s fun to watch. Looks sun drenched and smiley. I walked out of the cinema feeling uplifted and warbling “Fernando” for a good reason.

The latest movie flips between a backstory prequel and a sequel to the original story.

The prequel is set in the 1970’s, when carefree Donna Sheridan graduates from university and follows her dream to travel. On the Greek island, Kalokairi, she finds a seemingly abandoned farm house with a beautiful black horse in the stable. The backstory shows the circumstances of how Donna met each of her daughter Sophie’s three fathers. Their romantic interludes, and the tragedy that affected the man she loved (but he’s still alive).

Donna decided to stay on the island, raise her baby girl and turn the old farm house into a hotel.

In the sequel part of the movie, Sadly Donna has passed away. Sophie has grown up and decided to finish her mother’s farm house to hotel make-over dream. She invites her 3 Dads to celebrate the re-opening of the hotel. But the plans for the new launch go haywire.

Then Wow, Cher makes an appearance as Sophie’s grandmother.  Stepping out of the private helicopter in her high heels, wearing her wig, and costumes with attitude. The movie-makers let Cher be Cher. She sang Fernando, Cher style. I enjoyed it...and kept singing on my way to the car park.

But wait, Sophie’s baby…well I’ve written enough spoilers, watch the movie trailer.

Have fun.
