so here’s my main issue with this movie: stellan skarsgard has eight kids, four of whom are actors, and they cast an outsider as young bill anderson!!! now i understand that alexander is 40 and that bill is too pennywisey to be in fun movies but did you know there’s a 22 year old valter skarsgard? the one im banking on marrying to sneak my way into the skarsgard empire? if you’re not gonna cast the actual spawn of stellan why wouldn’t you do what you did in the first movie and just put the older actors in young wigs and makeup and pretend they’re 20? i have many grievances already but this is top priority

WARNING: only for people who know how to appreciate the fine art of having fun!!!! if you’re boring, that’s totally okay — just buy a ticket for mamma mia! here we go again then see something else!! that way this escapist masterpiece (and colin firth’s career) is still supported PLUS you won’t harsh our karaoke dance party’s vibes :)

This has MAJOR continuity issues and we know the younger cast members pale in comparison to the older ones but you know what? I DON’T CARE! Lily James cartwheeling all over a field for no apparent reason watered my crops! Christine Baranski’s high kick in Angel Eyes cleared my skin! Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard doing the Titanic pose and dancing on the ship gave me my rights! Mamma Mia: Here We Fucking Go Again Bitch!

the fact that some of you are pretentious enough to walk into a movie musical sequel based on a literal broadway show with a plot told entirely through abba songs that stars cher to then walk out of it and post a letterboxd review calling it “cheesy” or “over the top” or “ridiculous” is genuinely astonishing to me like please let yourselves have a little bit of fun every once in a while i promise it will make people like you more

some girl in my theater when cher showed up in the trailer: “omg lady gaga??”

colin and stellan weren’t even given scripts they just be like that

this movie ALMOST made up for not giving colin firth a husband by changing the pronouns in when i kissed the teacher to make it gayer

reason #4729583 to buy mamma mia! here we go again on blu-ray and dvd: you can laugh out loud in the comfort of your own home when pierce brosnan sings his sad remix of SOS without worry of ruining the experience for the other theater patrons and publicly disrespecting pierce, who is simply doing his best with the material given. can you imagine being given a script that says you’re to sing SOS again, after every critic alive trashed you last time you did it 10 years ago? god. i respect him so much for doing it. but not quite enough to stop laughing at him!

buy mamma mia! here we go again on blu-ray and dvd now! (not sponsored by the mamma mia! franchise, just trying to be)

im just gonna say it donna sheridan was alive under the obama administration

lily james i am willing to pay you to slap me in the face with your hair

lily james singing the line “i believe in angels,” like, i sure hope she believes in herself

sucks big fat balls

this franchise ignited the abba stan i didn't know i had in me

Ersatz Meryl Streep was very upsetting. Ersatz Colin Firth almost as bad. One joke about sad women eating cake is one too many (there were three), but one joke about Christine Barinski's vagina is far too few I would have happily watched a whole film of them punctuated by Abba songs.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
(Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again).

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
(Boats with Skarsgård and Firth doing the Titanic thing on it).

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate
(C-beams = Cher / Tannhäuser Gate = Hotel Bella Donna).

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
("Walking through an empty house — Tears in my eyes")

Time to die.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

goddamn I would absolutely 100% for sure like to have sex with lily James and/or Amanda seyfried. there’s a review in there somewhere

Bond doesn't do much, just stays on a Greek island and sings a bit.

i need that colin firth and stellan skarsgård adopt me

Podia ser melhor? Com certeza. Mas eu gostei.

the moment they all reunite singing dancing queen made me so happy

not one complaint. simply donna sheridan living out everyone’s dreams.

i know this is extreme...but cher singing “fernando” is a tuning point in my life
