Any reviews or opinions on this new film? I'm ashamed to say I've never been to the stage show and feel I ought to go to the movie but I have to admit I really don't like these "all singing" vehicles; they seem arch and annoy me.

But you liked Mama Mia JK?

Yes loved MM and love musicals, Angel; just can't cope with those in which all dialogue is sung like Evita and Les Mis.

I hated the movie of Mama Mia!. Are you sure your judgement JK isn't influenced by the fact that you have an interest in the publishing of the songs featured in the movie?!!??

It must be a great experience: listening to this fab pop songs - and at the same time hearing the cash registering ringing in the back ground.

Love Les Mis but can't seem to summon up any enthusiasm for this film. Even less so after seeing a clip of Russell Crowe "singing"!!!

Funnily enough the fact that we publish Abba put me off it; I thought I'd be bound to hate it and have to be polite; but I absolutely adored it.

Loved the fact that Brosnan knows he can't sing (neither can the character) yet was prepared to take the flak; thought Meryl did a wonderful job especially on Winner (my fave Abba song); thought the Dancing Queen number was incredibly effective visually...

Financial details never interest me; never have.
