I was really excited when I heard about this film because I was lucky enough to see the musical version last year.

When I saw the trailer for it, it looked amazing but I thought that Meryl Streep looked too old to play the part of Donna. Donna is about 40-45 and Merly looked too old in the trailer but I thought I’d see the film anyway.

I went to see the film 3 days after it came out and it was really good. The outside shots on the Greek Island are stunning and make me want to visit there one day.

The songs are good but the actors aren’t the best singers possible which is a little disappointing because when you see the show live everyone sings live and they can really sing so to go to the film and have actors in it that can barely sing or are tone deaf isn’t a good thing.

I was singing and tapping my feet to the music though and was really into it but Meryl really is too old to play the part so casting her was wrong when there are a lot of Hollywood acresses out there who have the right look for that role….it was a let down in that respect.

But all in all it was a good film and I am glad that I went to see it and I will buy the DVD when it comes out and I already own the soundtrack although I am disappointed to find out the lead vocals on the CD have too quiet so I can barely hear them but maybe that’s the mask their weak and out of tune vocals.
