It's more than worth it to see this movie with its just bearable plot: the acting, both in the prequel and the sequel parts is deliciously sweet, vibrant and sometimes emotional; the Abba renditions are so fresh (special kudos to Amanda Seyfried, I loved 'I've been waiting for you', and 'One of Us' (Dominic Cooper is a Super Trouper). Then, of course, Fernando, (only Cher is allowed to render that next to Frida), but for me the real surprise was the lovely arrangements (like Chiquitita, Hasta Manana and even Hole in Your Soul). All songs are featured very lovingly. I'm just glad that I was warned about the biggest spoiler, otherwise watching the film would have been a real bummer. Won't tell, just let me say that Meryl in My Love, My Life and Super Trouper is Abba-esque and a pity that the Day Before You Came is only on the album (wow to all who have a very different reading of its lyrics). Now I'll just swoon at the thought of the 'boys' and the 'ladies' publishing their new songs...
