In the sterotype of your primary victims, you see a gay mouse and you lift your skivies and go off screaming. Viva la Differance doesn't refer to this difference but to the phenomenon of differences...so Viva! bk You’re all a bunch of humorless heteronormatives.

I don't think Meryl Streep is overrated to be honest. I'm a huge fan of ABBA and have seen this film twice.. so far :) Can't wait til its out on DVD! I love this film.

I saw it yesterday and went back and saw it again today! SO WHAT if they couldn't sing very well or if their acting wasn't A+! I don't give a damn! I hope they win every Academy Award in every category! This was a GREAT movie -- they made me laugh (WITH them) and made me cry (WITH them) -- and all of them were wonderful -- including the extras! I am 60 years old, I have bought maybe 12 videos in my life and when this movie comes out on video, I'm buying it! Maybe TWO copies! LOL God bless the WHOLE cast! In this day and age when things all over the world are SO bad -- this was a wonderful escape! (I loved the scenery too!) Meryl Streep, you are a good woman and a great actress, and I love you!

I like ABBA and while I don't personally like Streep, I concede she is a good actress. However, this was simply the worst movie I have ever seen, and I sat even through Shark Boy and Lava Girl. The acting was almost as bad as the singing, and that's saying something! The jokes were so totally predictible it was painful. Gee, a middle agged woman standing up while paddling a raft - I wonder what's going to happen next? Splash - riotous laughter. The list goes on. I simply can not understand how this movie could be so popular. I have a feeling people say they love it because they think they are supposed to or they want to be left out but the truth is this movie is utter crap. I finally walked out over half way through when I began to feel physically ill (not an exageration). It was litteraly unbearable. It was bad enough that I believe I would actually think less of anyone who claims to have enjoyed it. I like musicals well enough.

U.S. Special Forces make Gay Special Forces look "gay" whereas U.S. Special Forces make British Special Forces laugh.... a lot. “Not gay.

Put on the "French Lt.'s (can't spell the whole word)Woman", or "Sophie's Choice" and you'll be asleep in two minutes after her first appearance. Too bad the Dingo didn't eat her.

I agree with you 100%. My seven year old daughter LOVES this movie just like I loved the musical GREASE when I was around that same age! Bravo to all the directors, producers and the cast. Pierce wasn't that bad either; he was kind of reminiscent of Peter Gabriel here and there, but he should definitely stick to his day job. I also love that the cast is a bit on "the older" side of the coin. And why not? They all did a great job in the film, far more interesting than the younger, prettier, actors. My family lived in Greece for years and it is a perfect setting for such a whacky musical. Everything there was always a little broken, a little run down, and many mis-matched things thrown together (not unlike this story, the songs and the cast) that you think can never possibly work together but in the end they do and everyone is pleasantly surprised. Live a little guys. Just go see it and allow yourself to have some cheesy fun. It's the cheapest way I know of to spend a couple hours in Greece... Right on Jewels!! I agree with you 100%.
