Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a movie that you’re either going to avoid like the plague or be looking forward to seeing. As with the first Mamma Mia! a decade ago, there’s a target audience for this movie who would lap it up regardless of quality but the people behind this haven’t rested on their laurels. What they’ve done is make a concerted effort to deliver something that’s worth their time and money and they’ve succeeded. They could have just pushed out a straight-up cash grab but they haven’t.
I can’t deny I enjoyed the first movie. Sure, it was cheesy and clichéd and played like a jukebox musical dance party sprinkled with romance and heartache but it was also annoyingly engaging and had an irresistible charm. Rather than being ashamed of what it was, it embraced it and reveled in it. No, this is not classic cinema but that’s absolutely okay.
