Let's go to Greece!

So, I FINALLY was able to go see the movie Mamma Mia today! Woohoo! I had been trying for two weeks but it just never worked out. I was expecting it to be fun, it sure was! I have fond memories of dancing in the aisles in London, seeing the musical. This was no different.

Movie Review Disclaimer:I go to movies purely for entertainment. I NEVER go to be philosophically moved and I hate violence or tragedy. Many years ago I made a rule of thumb that I do not see movies where more than two people get killed. Two characters dying could be romantic (think Romeo & Juliet) but more than that is disturbing to me. I also do not see rated R films.

My favorite movies are visually pleasing. I look at everything very closely - wardrobe, decor, set design- think of The Holiday and Miracle On 34th Street.

Below are some reasons I liked Mamma Mia~enough to overshadow some questionable singers and some risque innuendos~

The above picture is the main reason I adored this movie. Almost in every scene the trio of aqua, pink and white showed up. I also loved Sophie's wedding dress and flower tiara.

In this scene I really didn't hear a word the actors said. I was too busy studying that couch and the wall treatment. I am now wanting to paint my bonus room aqua!

Each and every time they showed the sparkling sea I practically gasped! I would LOVE to spend a week at "Villa Donna".

I adored Amanda Seyfried as Sophie. She was innocent, adorable and sparkly! Perfect!

It did not hurt that Dominic Cooper had one great set of abs! I am always a sucker for a leading man with a nice body and English accent.

So, if you are in the mood to sing (E actually got upset that I was bebopping in my seat and hooting aloud )and to look at a visually pretty display, go check it out!
