No, really!!! It's like watching more attractive, more professional, more coordinated "ordinary people" doing what we do when we hear ABBA. I don't think a lot of people "get" that! I'm not saying the movie is "perfect." I'm just saying I had a perfectly fabulous time and I appreciate the director's approach in presenting ABBA's music as it should be!
Pierce was ideal for that role. The men nave never been well-developed in MAMMA MIA--and neither has the relationship between Sam and Donna, so Sam has to be the kind of guy you look at and go, "Of course I'd want to be with him! Who wouldn't? He's charming and adorable and silly!" (Of course, if it were up to me, I'd take Colin Firth over anybody in any movie any time. God I love that man!)
I have to go get ready now. I must look glamorous for D2!!!!
