A pure delight

Meryl Streep (Rendition, The Devil Wears Prada and many more) gives a wonderful performance as Donna, who along with her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) run a rundown island inn.
Sophie is about to be married and wants her father, whom she has never met, and is not sure who he is, to give her away at the wedding. So Sophie invites all three of her mothers old flames (Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and Stellan Skarsgard) to the wedding.
Reunions, good and bad follow when the three gents are re-introduced to Donna.
The entire movie is set to the music of ABBA from the 1970s and is full of musical numbers that are very well written and play right into the theme of the movie.
What I liked best is that Meryl Streep, who actually sings (Who knew she could sing?), really seemed to enjoy the role she was playing and the fun she was having was quite contagious.
This was a very enjoyable movie that I will gladly watch again.
Rated 5 of 5 for a wonderful story line and great acting and singing.
This movie is one for the entire family (With a few sexual references that may not be suitable for younger audiences).
