Mamma Mia! (2008)

The Cathay Building with historical facade was where we catch Mamma Mia! the Movie in Cathay Grand theater.

Since i last visited the Old Cathay Building watching the "Pretty Woman" by Julia Roberts here, it has really been ages.

And i really liked it here.

At Cathay Building, it gave you the feeling of real movie-going where we could be reminiscent of how we used to go to a movie house instead of those cinema chains that mushrooms in almost every Shopping Mall now.



Mamma Mia! opens with a simple and transparent plot, yet an ebullient, fast-paced musical packed with ABBA’s feel-good anthems that capture the vibe of the whole movie. Breath-taking scenery from romantic Greece sets the scene.

As ardent fans of ABBA, the Swedish ’70s supergroup, this movie offers us gratifying moments with its joyous singing, dancing and comedic acts. Never a dull instantaneous with their chorus of ABBA Hits.

Inspired by the passion and love of life of the movie, it energized and cheers you up instantly. And it certainly does release our inner “Dancing Queen” as we tap our feets to the rhyme of the melodies.
