Come on now critics! What is the problem here? I can't tell you how many scathing or at the very least negative reviews of this movie. What did people expect?

'Mamma Mia' is a cheesy, breezy musical that had the misfortune of being released the same weekend as The Dark Knight, arguably the most critically acclaimed and highly anticipated film of the year.
