That guy who said "age becomes you" to Colin Firth. I appreciate him.

Within our family we had a split decision: those who loved the first MAMMA MIA found this one not-as-good; people, like me, who found the original MAMMA MIA too over-the-top and surreal, absolutely loved HERE WE GO AGAIN! . The winning components of this sequel are: Lily James, Amanda Seyfried and their spectacular voices and performances, great ensemble pieces (when Sophie joins her mother's DYNAMOS the harmonies are exquisitely tight), great…

I love the first Mamma Mia and knew nothing would live up to it, however this movie is pretty good too. It doesn't have that same upbeat feeling that I love about the first, (because it clearly has a more traumatic theme). But I still really enjoyed it.

“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” serves as another fantastic ABBA tribute and lives up to the original. The younger cast is great, with a special shoutout to Cher. Good luck getting the songs out of your head!

I really really loved Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! I might even prefer it over the first Mamma Mia. It hardly ever happens that I prefer the second movie over the first movie, but here we are.

The movie found a perfect way to let us into the characters their past, but also their future. I always love…

Feels very unnecessary in the beginning, but gets better over time. But I would say don't go for it - first is enough.

"Mamma mia, here I go again," I exclaimed, face to palm as I sat down to watch this film. I was never a big fan of the original, and I can't say I'm a lover of this pointless sequel that only grandmothers, desperate housewives, and sadomasochists will love. Every scene is set up for a number from Abba's back catalogue, and while it is done with gusto, my feet were solidifed in my pessimistic cement. Note: I know i'm in a minority! Still, I was…

Watchable, and very much like the original just taking the leftovers of Abba tunes. It is the superhero origin story of musicals. A little more like **Wolverine: Origins** than **Logan** if you catch my drift. However, the real treat is: This movie lends itself to a wonderful drinking game. Do a shot for each time Donna sleeps with someone. That alone could lead to alcohol poisoning, but here's some more: Take one for each time someone dramatic…
