I like musicals well enough. 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.
