I grew up in a very musically-inclined family. Aside from our shared love for food, cooking and eating, my relatives are also music lovers and its either one can sing, can play an instrument, or can at least appreciate good music. A proof of this was during our wedding reception where not only one, not two but FIVE family members performed and there were actually still more who wanted to do a song number or two. It can truly be a concert when you put my entire family together. Given that, my sister and I grew up watching musicals and listening to music that my parents would play on their cassette player. Imagine, the first movie that I watched was Sound of Music and I think I watched this over and over again until our Betamax tape gave up on me. My parents are fans of The Carpenters, Beegees, The Platters and ABBA so it's no surprise that my sister and I are very familiar with their songs... some we even memorize by heart. This is one reason why I was so excited when Mommy ...

This is a very delayed reaction since the movie came out months ago but it was just this weekend that I finally found time to watch the movie and ... I.LOVE.IT.!.!.!. It's a story of a young bride-to-be Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) who discovers that any one of three men could be her father. She invites all three to her wedding while keeping this a secret from her mother Donna (Meryl Streep). The plot thickens as all three men suddenly showed up later realizing why they were invited in the first place and are all ready to walk Sophie down the aisle. What happens in the wedding? Who'll end up with who? Will Sophie ever get married? These are the things you'll have to find out as you watch the movie. I love how the ABBA songs were perfectly incorporated in the story and I can't help but fall in love with Greece. It's simply breathtaking. Oh, One more thing I love about the movie? Pierce Bosnan is CUTE !!!
