Entertaining and fun musical comedy that got success at box office . It is a funny picture dealing with couple relationships , jealousy , lies , family conflicts and many other things .R omantic comedy with good actors , spectacular musical numbers singing charming songs , and nice direction . It is not surprising to recourse this Musical Comedy genre carried out by writer Ol Parker , Richard Curtis , Catherine Johnson , all of the comedian experts . The best parts of the movie are the choreographic numbers and known songs adapted in original model with roots in pop music of the great band Abba ; recreating the essence of the classic songs by body movements accompanying sensual melodies and lyrics . This is an agreeable musical comedy including love stories in which there are twisted messes , as well as the ordinary clichés . Colorful story of loves and jealousy in which predominates songs and musical spectacle . It has some moments of enjoyment as well as amusement and others quite a few embarrassing . Regular and unbalanced , but gaining the sympathy almost at all times . Bad timing results to be the voice of the singers with the actors , it is less achieved . The cast is excellent with plenty of known actors, these interpreters provided a considerable boost to the result , such as : Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Cher, Andy Garcia, Meryl Streep, Stellan Skarsgård, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Hugh Skinner, Jeremy Irvine, Alexa Davies, Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, and Josh Dylan . All of them play and dance wonderful and classic songs , including catching soundtrack by great composers Benny Andersson, Anne Dudley and Björn Ulvaeus .

The motion picture was well written and directed by Ol Parker. This craftsman is a good British filmmaker who has made some nice movies played by famous actors , such as : Ticket to paradise (2022) with George Clooney and Julia Roberts ; Mamma Mia! (2018) ; Now is good (2012) with Dakota Fanning and Jeremy Irvine ; Imagine Me & You (2005) with Piper Perabo, Matthew Goode, and Lena Headey. Rating : 6.5/10 . Well worth watching.
