Mamma Mia: Poz v Tango

By Tangotiger, 11:10 AM

Non-sports post.

Grease is a lot of fun.  Chicago is tremendous fun.  Mammia Mia is fantastic fun.  Poz however, disagrees:

I had the misfortune of seeing “Mamma Mia” on television the other day. To say I loathed that movie would be a dramatic understatement. It was one of the worst movie experiences of the last few years.

I’ve seen it at least 3 times.  Poz linked to Keith Law, who I was hoping to find some sanity, and none of my three were there.  I was presuming that perhaps musicals is a very personal thing, very much about one individuality.  But Poz lists his top 10, and West Side Story is there (super fun), as well as afore-mentioned Grease, and the great Fiddler on the Roof.  Hairspray was ok (didn’t hate it, and has some good qualities).  I haven’t seen most of the others on his list, but seeing how he has some of the others, I figured I agree with Poz more than I disagree.  And so, that we have such divergent views on Mamma Mia baffles me.

I also quite enjoyed Dreamgirls and Cadillac Records.

So, go ahead, list your favorite, and then I’ll run a poll later this week, to see how out of touch either I am or Poz is.
