Mamma Mia!!!!

20-year-old Sophie Sheridan (Amanda Seyfried) lives with her mother Donna (Meryl Streep on the small Greek island Kalkairi ,where Donna runs a hotel called Villa Donna. Sophie is planning to marry Sky (Dominic Cooper), and wants her father to be present to "give her away," but does not know who he is,. After reading Donna's diary from 20 years ago, she concludes he is one of three men: Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), Harry Bright (Colin Firth), or Bill Anderson (Stellan Skarsgard). Without telling her mother and fiancé, Sophie mails invitations to all three ("I Have a Dream"), and hopes to find out which is her father. Sophie tells her two best friends, Ali (Ashley Lilley) and Lisa (Rachel McDowall) about her potential fathers ("Honey, Honey"). All three men come to the island, thinking Donna asked them to come, and Sophie hides them upstairs in the old goat house, getting them to agree not to reveal she wrote to them pretending to be her mother Donna. Other guests have also arrived from the harbor: Donna's longtime friends, single, fun-loving writer Rosie (Julie Walters) and rich three-time divorcée Tanya (Christine Baranski). ~bla bla...

The most romantic scene (according to Lupie, of course!) is when Donna sings "The Winner takes it all".. the next day I bought the mp3 and also the DVD... i couldnt stop watching this scene.. I can feel the sparks and the chemistry between Streep and Brosnan.. they're so cool..

"I was in your arms, Thinking I belonged there, I figured it made sense, Building me a fence, Building me a home, Thinking I’d be strong there, But I was a fool, Playing by the rules, The gods may throw a dice, Their minds as cold as ice, And someone way down here, Loses someone dear, The winner takes it all, The loser has to fall, It’s simple and it’s plain,Why should I complain?"
