Overview
About the Film
Mamma Mia! is a 2008 musical romantic comedy directed by Phyllida Lloyd, based on the wildly successful stage musical built around the songs of ABBA. Meryl Streep stars as Donna Sheridan, a free-spirited single mother running a hotel on a fictional Greek island, whose daughter Sophie, played by Amanda Seyfried, secretly invites three men from her mother's past — played by Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård — to her wedding, hoping to discover which one is her biological father. The film's appeal was built entirely on the irresistible combination of ABBA's catalog and a cast of prestige actors joyfully abandoning dignity to belt out pop songs on a sun-drenched Greek island.
Meryl Streep threw herself into the musical numbers with infectious enthusiasm. Pierce Brosnan's singing, while technically challenged, was endearingly committed. Mamma Mia! earned $609 million worldwide on a $52 million budget, making it one of the highest-grossing musical films in history.
