Mamma Mia, Vue Cinema, Lancaster, cert PG
IF you don't enjoy it, there must be something wrong with you". Those were the words of my neighbour before I headed out to see 'Mamma Mia' at the cinema.

And do you know what, she's right. There's nothing wrong with me. I absolutely loved it.

Forget the fact that the lead character, Amanda Seyfried was cheesier than cheddar, her on-screen fiancee was camper than Christmas and Pierce Brosnan couldn't sing for toffee – this was cinema gold. Abba Gold in fact.

It's no wonder the album is disappearing off the shelves like hot cakes and has risen to the number one spot in the charts.

From the opening credits through to the wet-yourself-it's-so-funny finale, the cast had the audience at Lancaster's Vue cinema in stitches. If you're not familiar with the plot, it's centred around 20-year-old Sophie's (Seyfried) upcoming marriage to her boyfriend at her mother's (Meryl Streep) hotel in Greece.

Despite living a seemingly carefree life, Sophie is missing one thing – a dad.

Cue a ridiculously unbelievable plot which sees Sophie invite all three (yes, three!) potential dads to her wedding in a desperate attempt to
discover which one is her real father.

Featuring all the old Abba favourites – 'Dancing Queen', 'Voulez Vouz',
'Super Trouper' and of course, the film's title track – the film perfectly incorporates the Swedish popsters' hits into the action. And the comedic choreography is a laugh a minute.

Just go and see it – it's undoubtedly one of the films of this year.
And it's definitely worth a second watch.
