Such a frustrating disappointment

Instant Favorite.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This was such a big let down.I was hoping for something along the way of "Mamma MIA",and "Rock of ages" but no it was a huge mess.The movie starts awesome the opening song was good and it looked promising it went on and when it came to the second song things started to fall flat.But after the song things picked up again until 30min into the movie.And then things went down hillcompletly.The songs didn't fit with the story it looked like they must picked songs and sung it between every 5 min.I had such i hopes for this movie but it turned out to be a huge f up.Further a rarely give movies a 1 bc even if a movie is bad there's always something that can push the number hp to at least a 3 but this movie had none i thought that the music would make up for it but even that did t help. AND who makes a musical movie with Leona Lewis and not even giving her a full song This movie BLOWS i am very disappointed.

I'm not sure if this isn't too sweet even for hopeless romantics ... or that a lot of people who watched this were cynics. Now the songs used here, all have a history and are really good. Most of them even fit into the situation they are used. At least the title of the songs do. But "telling" a story (actually singing it) with lyrics that don't always fit the situation 100% is a bit of a stretch.Or you don't care at all. As you shouldn't with the predictable outcome of the movie. But that shouldn't be the issue, other movies "struggle" with that too. If you don't care about clichés and just want to listen to the songs, have at it. Rock of Ages was way better and funnier, but you have to have nuances in movies I guess

Really can't believe this one is so underrated. I lived the 80s and for sure i was expecting some weird covers but hey, while i was singing along and ignoring the actual story of the movie, acting was really decent and the singing is actually amazing from all the actors. Give it a break guys, can't do nothing about you being borne in the 2000s. Mamma Mia was good, yes, but this one is quite brilliant also, even more when they offer a less known cast. My 7 year old daughter loved it all, from beginning to the end, she danced along, sang along, and even asked me why she have never seen this songs on TV... well, had to show her on youtube and she loved them all. Great songs, great performances, brilliant singing. 10 out of 10 as i loved it and my kid also.

What everyone has failed to mention is how terrible the singing is in this movie. It is obviously an attempt to do another Mama Mia. When you have Meryl Streep and Colin Firth etc singing with average vocals you can accept it because it's big stars on screen. When you use unknowns who can't sing it does not work. I watched this because of the 80s music only to see the songs murdered on screen. At least get unknowns with singing ability to do justice to the music. They had Leona Lewis acting in here and she sang about three lines, what a waste.The story is your standard rom com boy meets girl, girl leaves boy etc. don't waste your time. If the singing was at least listenable it might have been worth a fluffy afternoon distraction.
