if i could sleep through the coal mines

Mama Mia , the movie, sucks! big time.
and these are the reasons why -
one: sosososo contrived. this is the best situation to use this word. the songs are so contrivedly added in, making the lines and the plot of the show nonsensical! terrible! *throws hands in the air.
two: the choreography is bland, cheesy and contrived (yes, once again). there was one scene with the girl and boy singing a love song to each other on the beach, and playing. ugh, yucks (sticks finger into mouth), it totally looked like those pirated sleazy english mtvs you get when you go ktv. totally low class.
three: the girl, daughter of Meryl Streep only has one expression - overly excited. that wide grin with a bit of a frown, jumping with hands to her face to show the excitement she cannot contain. ugh. throughout the show?!
four: Meryl Streep still gives me the creeps, even though she's supposed to be this funky pretty mother. eeyeer. Seeing her acting young bouncing around fretting about love, is just weird.
five: the husband-to-be of the daughter is such a Zac Efron wannabe!!!!!
six: Pierce Brosnan is so ah pek. Im not against old men, I like Richard Gere and Nicholas Cage and Steve Martin, ok I could go on. but Pierce, nononono. especially when they make him act cassona-ish.
six: the songs are not even nice. they made me cringe, seriously. with the cheesy scenes, which is the whole show.
yeah, so don'tdon'tdon't watch the show!

It was my first eating sultana and lemon biscuits in the theatre, because Mums brought them in her bag and was happily passing them down the line to Auntie Jenny and me. hahaha. Mums enjoyed the show, because she likes 'Dancing Queen' and not because it was 'songs from her era', but because it was played (in a memorable scene) in WINTER SONATA! faints.
Mums said - the first part of Auntie Jenny's name and the first part of my name (susan) forms the word JESUS!
HA HA hA.
strangely funny.
