There are two outstanding song sequences in Mamma Mia though: Dancing Queen, which REALLY opened up the movie and teased us about what could have been, and The Winner Takes It All, where Streep did a terrific job at singing the song through its depth.

Agree +10000%. Hairspray was alot of fun to watch. After reviewing Momma Mia, it was difficult to listen to ABBA, because I kept hearing the bad singing of Streep and Brosnan instead of the great singing of ABBA themselves. Took me a while to get that travasty out of me head.

I never thought I would like Hairspray (bought it for the wife) but I really do enjoy it. I have never seen Mamma Mia and have no plans to. Hairspray is a good one though IMO.

OMG..that would be hard for me. I LOVE musicals and Hairspray and Mamma Mia were both GREAT. I seen Hairspray in theaters like 16 times. It was that great of a movie. I was really happy about Mamma Mia coming to theaters. but i sadly didnt get to see it in theaters =(. But when it came out i was sooo happy. I've watched Mamma Mia like a total of 10 times since i got it. I know every song and every line in the movie just like Hairspray. What can i say i LOVE musicals =D

what is the picture codecs for MAMMA MIA

The BD I HAve here is VC-1 and not AVC like many other video-site has as a video-spec for this BD

Scottie · 02-03-2013, 09:08 PM

Mamma Mia!

OneWayFilms · 02-04-2013, 03:56 AM

As a HUGE fan of musicals, and after seeing both, I will say that HAIRSPRAY was MUCH more enjoyable and has plenty of replay value.

Seeing John Travolta dance in a fat suit and dress was hysterical. Songs were catchier. Colors popped more. The movie was PURE eye-candy with a wonderful soundtrack to tap your toes to.

Mama Mia was fun for once or twice, but having to sit through Pierce Bronson singing WAS a bit tragic.

Vw Driver · 02-04-2013, 04:14 AM

Mamma Mia!

SethRex · 02-04-2013, 04:52 AM

I honestly like both movies.

AKORIS · 02-04-2013, 05:38 AM

Mamma Mia was something that I dreaded to see but ended up having a great time watching it--- I really enjoyed it

JunkBoy · 02-04-2013, 05:42 AM

Amanda Seyfried ftw!

Neither! I'll take the original Hairspray tho...

baheidstu · 12-04-2013, 12:19 AM

Hairspray by default only because Mamma Mia was so terrible. ABBA's music is great when ABBA sings it but none of the cast members could sing a lick and those modern jukebox musicals where they shoehorn pop tunes into some half baked plot are just terrible, a real insult to classic musicals.

cmaslow309 · 12-04-2013, 12:23 AM

Mama Mia!! I don't know when,where,why or how,but somewhere over the course of time I pretty much learned to know every lyric to an Abba song when it comes on.

Dex Robinson · 12-04-2013, 01:25 AM

MAMA MIA really is just unbelivably awful. How anyone can tolerate the grating noises of those non-singing hams is a mystery. I bought it only because my mother wanted to see it. It was absolutely painful to watch and worse to hear.

HAIRSPRAY is the much better movie.
