'Mamma Mia!': Gotta Love It, Like It or Not

The brassy, bawdy musical "Mamma Mia!" presents itself as a piece of clever counterprogramming to this summer's surfeit of pounding, effects-driven comic-book movies. What could provide a better antidote to a "Dark Knight" than the cinematic equivalent of the world's sunniest day? But filmgoers eager to sample "Mamma Mia's" sun-kissed, synth-pop pleasures are likely to feel just as bludgeoned, in this case by an Abba-bomb, wrapped in a huge turquoise-colored feather boa.

This is a movie guaranteed to please crowds, if only because it insists on their affection so strenuously.
