The first thing we have to do is all agree that what holds the Mama Mia! films together is the timeless music of ABBA. And this film does an adequate job of highlighting some of their great hits (Cher's version of Fernando is fantastic!), along with some lesser known songs that were mostly album fillers back in the 70's.
Unfortunately some of the young supporting players weren't very good singers, but the main cast was entertaining.
This is just an okay follow up to Mama Mia! which starred Meryl Streep, who's very much missed in this sequel, with only a few brief scenes. But Lily James and Amanda Seyfried have surprisingly good voices.
It was worth watching on cable, but I'm glad I didn't pay to see it.
