Mama Mia! - An Inspiring Movie



I was planning to go to the gym today but I then decided not to push through with my plan anymore. It's Monday-Drown-Me-Day today for sure and I would not have the time and the strength to go work out and sweat my sweet ass off. And it was a good decision as a colleague of mine offered me 2 free tickets to watch Mama Mia! at 7.20pm at Golden Village, Marina Square. I immediately asked a friend (Holly) to watch the movie with me even though she had seen it already. She said it was good.

She was right. Her saying that it was good is an under rating. Mama Mia! is the best movie I have seen so far for this month. It is something that I would consider a worth movie to watch. Meryl Streep is indeed so fun to look at. Her ability to transform and play the part just shows off her experience as an actress. And Pierce Brosnan? Well, you just try to imagine James Bond singing. Yep, singing seriously. And please, do not stand and leave immediately. Wait for the credits to run and the last sequence would be the icing on the cake for Mr. Bond. And I am not going to spoil the movie for you. So you better continue reading.

The movie as whole is a masterpiece. The message it conveys just touches the core of your being with humor. The movie knows how to condition you to feel a certain emotion, a distinct hmf that pushes you to laugh with the actors and actresses, to cry with them and to lament with them. It gives you that sense of fulfillment, that conviction to love, to live, to hope and rekindle the moment.

This movie is definitely made for everyone to enjoy. And do not worry guys, I have seen a couple of men who had watched the movie with us. Straight guys, mind you. So, in case your girlfriends ask you to watch, spare me the shenanigans and watch with them. But please, no ... (dot, dot, dot)

You'll know what I mean when you watch the movie.

P.S.

I am not the movie's publicist. I am not paid to write good review about it.
