I saw Mama Mia with two of my sisters Saturday and we loved it. We had also seen it together in NY. We were afraid we'd be disappointed, but we weren't. What we loved most was the fact that everyone looked their age, and they all looked super. Very cool to see boomer actors and actresses still doing their thing.

What did you think of their singing voices? We were laughing. It must have been a hoot for them to pull that off.

Haven't seen it yet, but can't wait! Your post has spurred me on. I loved the screenplay. I know I'll love the movie!

We tried to see Mamma Mia last night but both shows were sold out. We're going to try again tomorrow!

Eagle, I can't believe they were sold out. Dang. We went to an 11:00 am movie on a Saturday ($5.00) and other than the three of us, there was one other women there. I felt like we should have asked her to sit with us.

Maybe it was the time we chose!

So glad to see Mama Mia! is a show we all like. Again, putting the CD on takes me to my 'happy spot'. I just absolutely love the film. My daughter and twin sister went and saw it both times. We want to go again - at least my twin and I do.

An article I read said that Pierce Brosnan's voice surprised everyone because it was so good. I thought his singing was great and heart felt. But I understand if not everyone agrees.

The lady who wrote the movie version is the one who did the original play on broadway. When she did the movie version she did it with those actors in mind. So, I thought the idea of putting older people in it was good. It worked even though the Broadway play had younger people.

And don't you just remember why you loved the ABBA songs? Our showings were never sold out and there wer plenty of seats available. Again, I love it and listen almost daily to the songs.

Just watched The Bucket List on tv. I don't go to the movies and mostly I watch old movies when I do watch them. But, we decided to watch this one tonight. It was on "demand" and we like Jack Nicholson. He is such a great actor. It was a good movie. It's about 2 men who meet in the hospital, both have only 6 months to a year to live and they make up a list of things they want to do before they "kick the bucket" and do them. It really makes you think about your "list."

Louisa that's a movie I still want to see. Didn't especially want to see it at the theatre but would like to see it on TV. Glad you liked it. I also like Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.

I love Jack Nicholson. My Favorite movie has to be "Something's Got to Give" After seeing The Bucket List, DH and several of his friends - all in their early 60's (and all healthy) have made a bucket list so to speak. They trekked to Isle Royal to hike, fish and camp in the wilderness this summer. They didn't do as much hiking as they expected since 2 of them had recently had knee surgery - but they had a ball. I know they're plotting the next adventure - but not sure what it will be yet. I think it's great.
