Mamma Mia!

Starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth

Directed by Phyllida Lloyd

Rated PG-13

I have decided to not stop writing my review of Mamma Mia! until I run out of bad things to say about it. Pack a lunch; you're going to be here a while.

First, I should be a champ and tell you what I liked about it. Ok, fair enough: Greece looks absolutely beautiful whenever this film was shot; though she hasn't needed to be impressive in her past few roles, Meryl Streep clearly still has that thing that only she has, especially when she belts out the only truly worthwhile musical number in the movie, "The Winner Takes it All;" and Amanda Seyfried (Big Love) is incredibly exuberant and happy to be here.

And now that that's out of the way...

You've been to a party or on a night out

David Frank knows more than you. Care to disagree? I am a man! A hairy, football loving man. A man who believes Budweiser props up the food pyramid. A man who wears sweat like a fashion statement. I eat raw steak and fart in public. Because I am a man! I rip phone books in half to impress strippers and children (or dwarves, I'm too manly to differentiate). I live in an apartment, yet still own a hatchet. An autographed headshot of Burt Reynolds sits on my nightstand ("Hey kiddo, avoid bran cereal and never perm your chest hair. It's not manly. Burt"). Words like "male" or "guy" are too soft for describing me. Only "man" or "manosaur" will do. And like the text-book definition of a real man, I cry. A lot. I eat buffalo wings and Cheetos smothered in Hell's Blue Flame Lava Sauce. And I do not cry.

Last year, "Young@Heart" caused ripples when it sold to Fox Searchlight to become the first distribution deal to emerge from the L.A. Film Festival, so perhaps it shouldn't have come as a surprise that the festival put documentaries front and center this year, even in a city where there's no shortage of name actors that most other festivals would deploy to lure audiences. Instead, one of the more anticipated star attractions in Los Angeles was a talk with HBO documentary czar Sheila Nevins, who participated in a wide-ranging conversation with L.A. Times columnist Patrick Goldstein about her career of mixing high class projects like the recent doc "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" with, well, "Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal," which premiered at the festival hours after Nevins finished up. (The latest from "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato,

For nearly five decades, Loni Anderson's teenage love was always somewhere in the back of her mind. And in May, she finally married him. "Never give up on finding your true love," Anderson, 62, tells People. After three marriages, the star of Wkrp in Cincinnati and ex-wife of Burt Reynolds called up folk singer Bob Flick on a whim – and restarted a romance that they nurtured long distance. "We had a year-long phone relationship, and I never ran out of things to say," Anderson says. "I fell in love through the phone calls. There was no pressure. We would just talk and talk.

Her latest relationship may have been 45 years in the making – but things are looking sweet for Loni Anderson. The actress, 62, wed folk singer Bob Flick in California on May 17. Strikingly, it was a posed photo in 1963 that first united the two – the same photo that decorates their wedding cake. As the story goes, the two met at movie premiere in Minneapolis when Anderson was sent by a local newspaper for a fan photo opp with Flick whose group, the Brothers Four, scored a hit with their song "Greenfields." The Burt Reynolds-ex and Flick – pictured here – are ready to dive

Ageing pin-up Loni Anderson has married folk singer Bob Flick.

The 62-year-old Wkrp In Cincinnati star exchanged nuptials with The Brothers Four singer Flick in a ceremony on Saturday night, which was attended by friends and family.

Anderson was given away by her son Quinton, from her former marriage to actor Burt Reynolds, which ended in divorce in 1993.

The couple originally dated for six months when Anderson was a teenage model, but they split and went their separate ways as her acting career took off.

It is the fourth marriage for Anderson, who has decided to keep her maiden name.

She has also previously been wed to Ross Bickell and Bruce Hasselbeck.

In his dazzling poker book Positively Fifth Street, which chronicled a grisly piece of Las Vegas history alongside his own unlikely run in the 2000 World Series Of Poker, Jim McManus describes a poker tournament as "four days of intense boredom interrupted by brief moments of sheer terror." Poker movies have the advantage of cutting straight to the terror, but Rounders excepted, nearly all of them are intensely boring. If the stakes are clear and the audience has enough investment in the characters, every turn of the cards can be heart-stopping. But if too many more movies like the abysmal Deal come along, making the final table at a poker tournament is going to seem as exciting to the layman as an afternoon in line at the Dmv. Owing much to the grizzled mentor/naïve student dynamic in The Color Of Money and Hard Eight, Burt Reynolds and Reaper's Bret...

While we pace the carpet back and forth in anticipation of the fast-approaching Tribeca Film Festival (kicking off on Wednesday), we can bide our time with a puppet kidnapping, some Bollywood royalty and an Ewan McGregor sighting.

"Baby Mama"

If the fad of pregnancy movies began with last year's "Knocked Up," it reaches its second trimester with "Baby Mama," which stars comedy goddess Tina Fey as a wannabe mom who's fast approaching 40 and Fey's one-time Weekend Update deskmate Amy Poehler as the uncouth oddball who offers up the use of her womb in exchange for a bit of cash. Appropriately enough, former "SNL" scribe Michael McCullers makes his directorial debut with the offbeat comedy, which could serve as "Juno" for people deemed too fuddy-duddy to find the term "home skillet" amusing. "Baby Mama"'s also serving as Tribeca's opening night film.

Opens wide.

"Deal"
