MOVIE REVIEW: Mama Mia

Last night I watched "Mama Mia". Some, including my husband, may say that it's "gay" (absolutely nothing against the gay & lesbian communities), but I really enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised by all the songs that were performed by the actors.

Amanda Seyfriend. I saw her for the first time on "Mean Girls" and didn't think much of it. She played a very blond & ditzy role so didn't really take her seriously. I did think she was cute though. Then I saw her in "Alpha Dog" (that movie would need a separate review), in which she played quite a different role. ANYWAY, to get to the point: Amanda actually has a very nice singing voice! When she sang the first song in the movie I wasn't sure it was her because it sounded a little different than her speaking voice. When the movie ended I watched through the end credits just so I can "confirm" that she sang the songs in the movie.

During the end credits another song came up. It was a female voice I wasn't familiar with. I thought, what a pretty voice?! I wonder who sings this song? I then found out it was Amanda! And she did perform all the songs in the movie! So did her co-star, Meryl Streep! I had no idea Meryl can sing like that!

Anyway, I think Amanda Seyfried is definitely an actress to look out for in the near future.
