Comment
A great version of the hit stage musical that weaves a series of ABBA songs around the plot. Given that the songs were not written for the musical, the writer manages to incorporate them seamlessly into the plot. Although the main actors are not the best of singers, their enthusiasam and acting ability carry the film. There are several good performances but Julie Walters comic ability stands out.
The plot : A young girl who does not know who her father is and is about to get married finds her mothers diary and invites three men who could be her father to the wedding on the Greek island where she lives.
