Looks great! I'm sooooo happy that Meryl sounds like she can actually belt it out!

I'm blown away by Meryl's voice - I know she can she can sing but she is really belting and it's one of my favorite ABBA songs. Can't wait.

^ A-duh!
This begs to be seen at a gay theatre.
I love "Lay All Your Love On Me" and Amanda sounds great. I love that fast vibrato.

This is basically the "First Look" featurette that they're showing at Regal theatres.
I think Amanda sounds pretty great and Meryl looks and sounds fantastic of course. I never thought I'd see Meryl Streep dancing to ABBA music on the shore in a film, but that's what makes her so great. I can't wait to see this.

I just think its quite rude to desribe something as gay without expanding. To some gay means fab to others it means stupid.

"It's such an epic story." OK, that really made me laugh.
And Seyfried sounds good, but quite "synthesized" to me.

Its ABBA -- that recording studio synthesized sound is part of their 'ABBA sound'. All the songs in the film were produced and given this sound in attempts to recreate their original versions. "The Winner Takes it All" and "Our Last Summer" are about the only songs in the film which are void of that synthesized sound as the original versions weren't recorded that way -- they contained clear vocals.
And yes, I've seen the film and heard the songs.

I am obsessed with Amanda's vocals.
I feel like Seth Rudetsky when he gestures fast vibrato by waving his hand back and forth.
"Lay A~LL your love on me." <- love that!

I can't WAIT for this movie to come out -- July 18th can't come fast enough!! I could watch Meryl Streep clip her toenails for two hours and I'd be amazed by her! She's THAT good!!! Wonder if she'll do a stint on Bway?? I would hope so! :)

I loooove the synthesized sound of Amanda's voice, it truly captures the ABBA sound, and you can tell it's done on purpose. Her voice is pretty nifty too. I thought she was great in VERONICA MARS, MEAN GIRLS, and BIG LOVE so I've no doubt she will do a good job.
Streep's perfect, period.
Oh, and I also thought it was hilarious when they said the story was epic.

I have a couple of friends who work at the Universal Pictures affiliate in Miami, Florida and they invited me to an 'office' screening of MAMMA MIA! two weeks ago. The editing was somewhat rough in spots and the color wasn't properly fixed in some scenes (faces too orange or too pink) so I believe it was the same print that the recent San Diego test screenings showed.
Biggest regret was not taking along a small digital recorder. I would have made audios of the songs at least. Too late now.

i MUST MUST MUST HAVE THIS SOUNDTRACK.
Meryl's voice is HUGE. It's no wonder she didn't take Sweeney Todd, this role really is a better fit for her first true musical film. She has such a rocky belt - woman better sang.
Brody, despite the color and editing, was it any good? As good/better than "Hairspray"?

It made HAIRSPRAY look like a Disney Channel TV movie.
The Greek locations and vistas alone are their own characters in the film. Its simply breathtakingly beautiful. It adds to MAMMA MIA! what the Austrian vistas did for THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

OK, watched it again, and this time with headphones (and not the tiny Macbook speakers.)
Everyone sounds better than I expected--and I'm thinking I was wrong about Seyfried. Mea culpa.
(And this isn't sarcasm-- really liked it MUCHO better this time.)
