Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.
Set on a colorful Greek island, the plot serves as a background for a wealth of ABBA songs. A young woman about to be married discovers that any one of three men could be her father. She invites all three to the wedding without telling her mother, Donna Sheridan (Meryl Streep), who was once the lead singer of Donna and the Dynamos. In the meantime, Donna has invited her back-up singers, Rosie Mulligan (Dame Julie Walters) and Tanya Wilkinson (Christine Baranski).Written by

All of the songs were re-orchestrated for this movie version, differing from the stage version and their original arrangements. "Under Attack", "One of Us", and "Knowing Me, Knowing You" were removed from the script. "The Name of the Game" was filmed, but removed from the final cut, and included as an extra on the DVD release. "Thank You for the Music" played over the closing credits. "When All is Said and Done" was never part of the stage show. Donna Sheridan (Meryl Streep) hums a few bars of "Fernando", one of ABBA's biggest hits, as she walks into the old goat house while the fathers are hiding upstairs. The song is about war, and the writers couldn't find a way to fit it into the story. See more »
Goofs
When Tanya is singing "Does Your Mother Know", she walks away from the bar and goes out to the beach to join the crowd of men who are dancing. As she's walking, there's a side shot of her, and in the background you see an extra with a towel around her waist wearing red wayfarer sunglasses. But then there's a face-on shot of Tanya, and the extra's sunglasses have disappeared. See more »

Crazy Credits
After the final scene of the movie Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters appear on a sound stage in matching 1970s glam-rock costumes and sing "Dancing Queen". When they finish Meryl 'asks' the audience if they want an encore. The three ladies are then joined by Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard who are similarly attired. Along with Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper, they provide a rendition of "Waterloo" as the main credits roll. See more »

... it is quite an achievement to take a woman as pretty as that (watch her legs in Boogie Woogie) and as capable as that (watch Big Love) and make her boring, irritating and essentially insane.
Mamma Mia! What a shallow movie.
