Why the Movie?
Broadway Legend Joined: 11/23/05
Well, I don't know about the movie but I sure love all the songs on the cast recording.
I am not fond of the OCR of Mamma Mia, The Movie soundtrack is ok. I did not like the way they record Take A Chance on Me, the actual scene in the movie was great though.
I actually enjoy the Movie Soundtrack more~ don't know why?
My favorite is LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME (same with OCR) I just love that song!

The movie soundtrack is SO much better than the London recording,
Love Meryl's "Winner Takes It All" and actually think Pierce's "When All Is Said and Done" is one of the sweetest moments in the movie.
i do like the movie soundtrack more although Pirece is NOT a good singer at all
But I love Honey, Honey and pretty much all of Meryl's songs
SOS
Meryl does an AMAZING job on WINNER TAKES IT ALL, too.

They are all great, but the musical scenes I keep watching over and over again are Honey Honey and Lay All Your Love On Me.
Thank You For the Music over the end credits is great. The opening is chilling too. Amanda is wonderful.
S.O.S
I also prefer the soundtrack over the London Cast Recording, my favorite the latter one, is Under Attack.
Super Trouper, Slipping Through my Fingers, Mamma Mia, Honey Honey...I'm a huge ABBA fan.

Christine Baranski's "Don't Your Mother Know That's You're Hot?" sort of stands out.
I loved them all, but I do prefer the London cast recording.
Winner Takes It All was about the only highlight of the movie for me.
Winner takes it all.
I'm going by the show. Winner Takes It All (Carolee Carmello), Take a Chance on me (Gina Ferrall & Pearce Bunting), and Voulez Vous.
I prefer the movie soundtrack over the London recording. I like how the CD uses the original ABBA arrangements. For me, the standout songs for me, besided the ABBA standards, are Voulez Vous and Does Your Mother Know. I also think Meryl Streep's version of "Winner" is out of this world.
Enjoyed "Winner Takes It All" a lot.
But my two favs are "When All Is Said And Done" with "Our Last Summer" just slightly more.
mine is Money, Money, Money......Nicole
Add me to the list of the people who prefer the movie soundtrack to the London CR.
My favorite tracks are definitely Super Trouper, Does Your Mother Know..., and Take a Chance on Me.

My fav song is name of the game. Even though it was cut from the movie. It is on the DVD. But I wish they would have left it in she sounds so good on it. Much better then the olc version.
