Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreWithout going into too much detail (and no spoilers), I went into the theater with relatively high expectations, as I loved the original movie and watched it with much enthusiasm in the theater (way) back in 2008. After the first 20 minutes or so of "Here We Go Again", I was very honestly, almost considering to leave the movie theater in disappointment. The 'new' cast who plays the younger version of Donna and the 3 men, who she romanced that summer on an island in Greece, looked the part well, but didn't play the part well. While their singing was more than adequate, their acting was sub-par and at times felt overdone and over the top in effort. And some of the scenes early in the movie felt cringingly cheesy and almost unnecessary, especially the scene with the poor Greek man on the boat who wanted to return to the island to.. (no spoilers) as well as the band whose singer was the son of the bar (restaurant?) owner. Fortunately though, the original (2008) cast kept my attention, and the flow of the movie improved about halfway in. There was certainly a great amount of attention and effort put into this movie's music production and choreography which I enjoyed the most. However, I'm not a big fan of Cher, and didn't really feel like she fit in/belong with the ensemble and the story, although it was a relatively short appearance. Her version of "Fernando" was average at best. Overall though, I very much enjoyed the music and liked how the whole story fit together near the end. I would certainly watch it again, just for the music alone.
... View MoreI felt like this movie had a great story and was directed very well, but the soundtrack was just okay. The only songs that stuck out as great were just songs redone from the first film. There are new songs in it but they don't seem as memorable as all the others (of course there is a couple exceptions). I had a good time watching it in the theater otherwise!
... View MoreI didn't watch this film expecting an award winning masterpiece. I came for the nostalgia, seeing these characters again and learning a little about their past. The songs were amazing, as they should be and the characters young and old brought something new to this film. Meanwhile I'm crying in the cinema. Will be watching over and over again
