Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (DVD)

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a 2018 British-American jukebox musical romantic comedy film written and directed by Ol Parker, from a story by Parker, Catherine Johnson, and Richard Curtis. It is the sequel to the 2008 film Mamma Mia!, which in turn is based on the 1999 musical of the same name using the music of ABBA. The film features an ensemble cast, including Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Jeremy Irvine, Josh Dylan, Hugh Skinner, Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Andy García, Meryl Streep, and Cher. Both a prequel and a sequel, the plot is set after the events of the previous film, and is intersected with flashbacks to Donna s youth in 1979, with some scenes from the two time periods mirroring each other.

Due to the financial success of the first film, Universal Pictures had long been interested in a sequel. The film was officially announced in May 2017, with Parker hired to write and direct. In June 2017, many of the original cast confirmed their involvement, with James being cast in the role of Young Donna that July. Filming took place from August to December 2017 in Croatia (most prominently Vis), Bordeaux, Stockholm, Oxford, Hampton and at Shepperton Studios. A British and American joint venture, the film was co-produced by Playtone, Littlestar Productions and Legendary Entertainment.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was premiered at the Hammersmith Apollo in London on July 16, 2018, and was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on July 20, 2018, ten years to the week after its predecessor s release, in both standard and IMAX formats. The film was a box office success, grossing $402 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews, as an improvement over its predecessor with critics praising the performances and musical numbers.

The film is dedicated to the memory of production designer Alan MacDonald.


Plot

In a flashback to the year 1979, a young Donna Sheridan graduates from Oxford s New College with Rosie and Tanya ( When I Kissed the Teacher ), and dreams of a Greek island named Kalokairi. Donna s mother, Ruby, is a famous singer, but she has a strained relationship with her daughter and is consistently away on tour, and does not attend the graduation. Fed up with her mother s constant negligence and determined to spend her life making memories, Donna decided to travel to Kalokairi to find her destiny.

In the present, five years after the events of the first film, Sophie is in Kalokairi preparing for the grand reopening of the Hotel Bella Donna, in honour of her recently deceased mother. Harry and Bill are unable to attend due to overseas business ventures and Sophie also feels estranged from Sky, who s been offered a permanent job in New York ( One of Us ).

In Paris, Donna meets the sweet but awkward Harry Bright, who instantly falls in love with her ( Waterloo ). They spend the night together, but Donna leaves soon after for Greece. She misses her boat to Kalokairi but is offered a ride by Bill Anderson in his yacht, and the two dance and flirt ( Why Did It Have to Be Me? ). On the way, they help a stranded fisherman, Alexio, back to shore in time to save the love of his life from having to marry another. Unbeknownst to Donna, Harry has followed her to Greece; however, he arrives too late and sadly watches the boat sailing off in the distance.

In the present, Rosie and Tanya arrive to support Sophie, and she shows them the new hotel ( I Have a Dream ). This mirrors the past, in which Donna explores an abandoned farmhouse that would eventually become the hotel. A heavy storm then breaks out and Donna discovers a trapped horse and soothes it with the assistance of Sam Carmichael. In the present, a heavy storm destroys the decorations and prevents transportation to Kalokairi, much to Sophie s dismay.

Sam, who has been living in a cabin on the island, reassures Sophie that she can never let her mother down, telling her the story of how he once let Donna down. Years ago, before Sophie was born, Donna and Sam were enjoying a whirlwind romance ( The Name of the Game ), but it ended badly when Donna found out Sam was engaged to another woman, Lorraine. Heartbroken, Donna breaks up with him and tearfully watches him leave the island ( Knowing Me, Knowing You ), while the present Sam reassures Sophie of her mother s value for her.

Following Sam s departure, Donna is visited by Tanya and Rosie, who cheer her up by singing with her as Donna and the Dynamos ( Mamma Mia ). Bill returns to the island, and Donna joins him on his boat, much to the chagrin of Rosie who falls for Bill. While they are gone, Sam returns, having ended his engagement for Donna, but is saddened to hear that she is with another man. Donna discovers she is pregnant but has no idea which one of her three recent lovers is the father. Bill s great-aunt Sofia overhears Donna s wish to stay on the island and reveals she owns the abandoned farmhouse Donna has been staying in. Donna happily accepts her offer to stay there, where she eventually gives birth to Sophie.

In the present, Sophie opens up to Rosie and Tanya about her conflict with Sky and Rosie explains to Sophie how she and Bill broke up ( Angeleyes ). Meanwhile, Bill, Harry, and Sky leave their ventures abroad to support Sophie but are told there are no boats to Kalokairi. However, a much older Alexio recognises Bill and offers the trio safe boat passage to the island as gratitude for saving his relationship. Bill convinces the others to join them for a party on Kalokairi. When the guests arrive ( Dancing Queen ), Bill and Rosie quickly reunite over their mutual grief over Donna s death, and Sophie reveals to Sky that she is pregnant, and she has never felt closer to her mother.

The celebration is suddenly disrupted when Ruby arrives, despite Sophie having decided to not invite her. Ruby explains that Sky tracked her down in New York, and she wants to build a true relationship with her granddaughter. Sophie then performs with the Dynamos in honor of Donna ( I ve Been Waiting for You ), much to the pride of Ruby, who expresses slight but sincere grief over her daughter s death. It is then revealed that the hotel manager, Señor Fernando Cienfuegos, is actually Ruby s long-lost lover from 1959, and the two are joyously reunited ( Fernando ).

Nine months later, Sophie has given birth to a baby boy, named Donny. At the christening, Donna s ghost proudly watches over her daughter as the two of them have one final moment before Donna fully passes on ( My Love, My Life ). The end credits show all the characters, including Donna and the younger cast, at a huge party at Hotel Bella Donna ( Super Trouper ).

Critical response

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 79% based on 278 reviews, and an average of 6.3/10. The website s critical consensus reads, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again doubles down on just about everything fans loved about the original—and my my, how can fans resist it? On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100 based on 46 critics, indicating mixed or average reviews . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of A− on an A+ to F scale, the same score as its predecessor, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 83% overall positive score.

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian termed the sequel as weirdly irresistible and gave it three out of five stars. He described his reaction to the first film as a combination of hives and bubonic plague, but concedes that this time, the relentlessness and greater self-aware comedy made him smile. He concludes: More enjoyable than I thought. But please. Enough now. Mark Kermode of The Observer gave the film five stars and commented, This slick sequel delivers sharp one-liners, joyously contrived plot twists and an emotional punch that left our critic reeling.

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded the film two and a half stars out of five, noting the absence of Streep for the majority of the film hindered his enjoyment, and saying, her absence is deeply felt since the three-time Oscar winner sang and danced her heart out as Donna Sheridan . Lindsay Bahr of Associated Press awarded the film three out of four stars, calling it wholly ridiculous , but complimenting its self-awareness. She also praised James performance and singing talent. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the sequel a mixed review, awarding it two stars out of four, criticizing the reprises of Dancing Queen and Super Trouper as uninspired, and feeling that some of the musical numbers dragged the pacing. He considered the younger counterparts to the main characters energetic and likeable. Stephanie Zacharek of Time gave the film a mixed review, writing Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is atrocious. And wonderful. It s all the reasons you should never go to the movies. And all the reasons you should race to get a ticket.


Sequel

In June 2020, Judy Craymer announced that a third film is in development, with the producer confirming that some of the new ABBA songs written for the band s reunion could feature in the soundtrack, although stating that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused delays with development of the project. After months of postponement, ABBA released their new album Voyage in November 2021.

Short Description

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a 2018 British-American jukebox musical romantic comedy film written and directed by Ol Parker, from a story by Parker, Catherine Johnson, and Richard Curtis. It is the sequel to the 2008 film Mamma Mia!, which in turn is based on the 1999 musical of the same name using the music of ABBA. The film features an ensemble cast, including Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Jeremy Irvine, Josh Dylan, Hugh Skinner, Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Andy García, Meryl Streep, and Cher. Both a prequel and a sequel, the plot is set after the events of the previous film, and is intersected with flashbacks to Donna s youth in 1979, with some scenes from the two time periods mirroring each other.

Due to the financial success of the first film, Universal Pictures had long been interested in a sequel. The film was officially announced in May 2017, with Parker hired to write and direct. In June 2017, many of the original cast confirmed their involvement, with James being cast in the role of Young Donna that July. Filming took place from August to December 2017 in Croatia (most prominently Vis), Bordeaux, Stockholm, Oxford, Hampton and at Shepperton Studios. A British and American joint venture, the film was co-produced by Playtone, Littlestar Productions and Legendary Entertainment.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was premiered at the Hammersmith Apollo in London on July 16, 2018, and was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on July 20, 2018, ten years to the week after its predecessor s release, in both standard and IMAX formats. The film was a box office success, grossing $402 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews, as an improvement over its predecessor with critics praising the performances and musical numbers.

The film is dedicated to the memory of production designer Alan MacDonald.
