Mama Mia! Here We Go Again


Ol Parker's Mama Mia! Here We Go Again is a dull retread of the first film. Parker's direction lacks the buoyancy and spritz that Phyllida Lloyd brought to the first film. The interiors again look like Pottery Barn advertisements and the vocalizations are again cheerily amateurish. Unfortunately, we are left with the dregs of the Abba songbook. Jessica Keenan Wynn as the young Christine Baranski and Josh Dylan as the young Stellan Skarsgard are the brightest of the newcomers.  The project seems like a cynical cash in on the success of the first film. Even Cher's cameo seems perfunctory. In short: stale processed cheese.
