Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again- Kids’ Movie Review

“Mamma Mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you?” ABBA songs are woven throughout this whimsical musical comedy. Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again takes place five years after the original film Mamma Mia. The story follows the life of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), who is planning the grand opening of a bed-and -breakfast in Greece. Sadly, her mother, Donna (Meryl Streep), had died a year earlier, but it was originally Donna’s dream to open a hotel on the Greek isle of Kalokairi, and it is Sophie’s goal to fulfill her mother’s dream. However, Sophie faces many challenges, though she often thinks of mother and we see many flashbacks of young Donna (Lily James) in her twenty’s. We see Donna’s inspiration to open a quaint hotel in Greece, and we see her three romances along the way. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the sequel/prequel to 2008’s romantic musical Mamma Mia!
