MAMA MIA! poised to sicken more viewers, this time as a sing-along

August 21st, 2008 by Scott Marks

Mama Mia! grossed $320 million worldwide?!?! Quick, Watson, the needle!

The only reason this miserable excuse for a musical made a dime is because it opened opposite The Dark Knight and accommodated its record spillover. Due to what Universal Pictures referred to as an “overwhelming response,” the studio is releasing a sing-along edition on August 29th. Perhaps the studio was looking for a way to drown out poor Pierce Brosnan’s abysmal vocals.

The film, based on the annoyingly upbeat pop music of ABBA, was directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by her brother Mongo.
