Bought this for my wife for Xmas, didn't see it at the cinema. What was all the hype about? This is a woeful film, the acting was wooden, storyline wafer thin and the singing was truely awful. Meryl Streep was o.k but Peirce Brosnan, bone crunchingly bad. The only thing holding this tapestry together is the ABBA lyrics. Thank God I didn't pay full price for it.

I missed this at the cinema, so was really looking forward to watching the DVD. I enjoyed the story line and the music, but I would have preferred it if the music was in the background I did not like the singing and was not impressed with much of the acting. After all the rave reviews I was disappointed to say the least.

Ok so i was 'forced' to watch this after my nan received it for christmas and it wasn't all that bad, although i do feel it would have been a much better film had it not been for all the singing. I just can't wrap my head around musicals, in their world does everyone know they're singing or do things just carry on as normal and we see how they realy feel but with music? Also why does the rest of the cast seem to join them whenever and where-ever they are and how does everyone know the words?
Most of the cast aren't singers and to have made this better i thing they should have got a singing cast rather than an acting cast.
