“Kat, pupunta tayo dyan!” my friend, Steph, whispered.
“Dapat. Pero one of us should live there. Baka ako yun.” I whispered back.
And we sat that way, dreamy-eyed over an enchanting island, the clear blue-green sea and a bunch of God’s-gift-to-women men. Such were the attraction of the musical “Mamma Mia!” which premiered last July 10, 2008. Playing the feisty, independent single-mom Donna, Meryl Streep once again made the character truly hers. Add three equally gorgeous Europeans who played her three former-beaus; Pierce “The-most-delicious-James-Bond” Brosnan, Colin “Surprisingly-delicious-English Guy” Firth and the other one (hehe sorry not that into him…); made the movie a must-see (well, at least for me..). Another thing made this movie really fun was the sound track, all Abba songs which lured the audience to tap their feet and sing along to “Dancing Queen”, “SOS” and Christine Baranski’s and Julie Walter’s ultra-funny rendition of “Chiquitita”.
But the best, really best things about this movie?
- We watched it on its premiere night.
- The tickets were free! (courtesy of Steph)
- I was with my two bestest friends (Yani and Steph) and we stayed out until 1AM though we all have work the following morning ( which made me gritty-eyed at work the next day…bad cheetah hehe..)…
