ABBA! Meryl Streep! MAMMA MIA Trailer Online Now!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here. I love showing various trailers to the various people in my house to see how they react. There are certain trailers that I know are perfect for my son (his reaction to his first viewing of the SPEED RACER trailer was so intense I wish I’d videotaped it), and certain ones my wife will react to (she actually wants to see FOOL’S GOLD), but today... today it’s my mother-in-law who is going to be thrilled. See, she’s a huge fan of ABBA. In fact, they’re her favorite band. She loves everything they recorded, and the idea of a musical built around their music... well, let’s just say I expect her to actually levitate from sheer joy when I play this for her later today. In the meantime, knowing you guys and musicals, I can only imagine what kind of smoking hole in the ground this talkback is going to become...

Mamma Mia! Synopsis An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski)—from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own. On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.
