Mamma Mia is my go-to movie whenever I'm feeling down and need a little pick-me-up! I mean, who can resist the catchy tunes of Abba and the all-star cast of Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan, Collin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard?
This movie is just pure joy and fun! It's a bit campy and over-the-top, but that's what makes it so hilarious and charming. I can't help but want to jump out of my seat sing and dance along every time I watch it.
Is it the most thought-provoking or profound movie ever? Probably not, but who cares when you're having this much fun? I would definitely give "Mamma Mia" a 7 out of 10 rating for its ability to lift your spirits and make you forget about your worries for a little while.
So, if you're in the mood for some feel-good entertainment, grab some popcorn and get ready to sing and dance along to "Mamma Mia"!
If you love this movie as much as I do and want to take a little piece of it home with you, here are some of the items from the show that I've been able to hunt down. If there is anything specific you would like me to find, please write it in the comments. Here we go again!
1.Teal Petticoat and Feather Boa.
In this scene from the Mamma Mia (Dancing Queen) Christine Baranski is wearing a 1950's High waisted Teal Petticoat and Meryl Steep is dancing with a teal feather boa. These petticoats have changed a little over the years but they are still widely available on Amazon, Etsy and if you're looking for an original 1950's style like Christine is wearing, there are a few on eBay. If you would like this petticoat or the boa click the links blow.
2. Dancing Queen Continued.
So many great things in this scene so I am just going to go through them one by one.
In this shot we get a glimpse of this beautiful Scandinavian Red Motif Duvet Cover. Art and patterns in Movies and TV shows are usually one of a kind and custom made for the film due to licensing, however the one in the link below is probably as close as you can find that is commercially available.
3. Donna's Hair Dryer.
In this next shot Christine Baranski is singing into a vintage Braun 1600w Hair dryer. These hair dryers were made in Germany and are still available on sites like Etsy and eBay. If you are looking for a modern close second click the link below.
3. Donna's Desk Lamp
This sexy orange lamp is a fantastic pop of color in an otherwise blue monochromatic environment. This lamp Is a 1960's MCM Ledu Articulating desk lamp. Though still available on sites like Etsy and eBay this item is hard to find in working condition and with a round base like the one in this scene. For a modern alternative Click the link below.
4. Stairwell Wall Hang
In this scene Julie Walters is sliding down a banister and in the background we see a beautiful Vintage Uzbekistan wall hang. These items are one of a kind and they were made using scrap pieces of fabric, so while it is unlikely to find this exact one, they are still available on sites like Etsy and eBay. This link below will bring you to a close replica.
5. Patio Wicker Chair
Out on the patio in this scene we see a vintage Wicker Barrel Chair. I've purchased soooo many of these chairs for movies and they were mass produced and widely available. This style isn't made anymore but if you search "Mid-century Wicker Barrel Chair" you'll find it no problem and most likely there will be a set at your local antique store.
This is where I leave it for now. I will do more Mamma Mia scenes another time, but if there is a specific item from the movie you are looking for, leave me a comment and I will hunt it down!
