J4CKO's Mamma Mia Challenge !
 

I bought this for the missus on Blu Ray as part of her extensive Chrstmas wish list, her mum bought it her on DVD, so instead of the 37 inch (largest TV allowable under wife rule) and Blu Ray combo she put it on the cheapo dvd and 26 inch combo because the couch is comfier in that room.

Anyway, I thought I would show my feminine side an sit and watch it with her, all cozy and romantic, obviously me sat a distance away due to the "Man Flu" I am carrying, I put it on and sit back for a feat of sunshine and Abba songs, hang on I thought, that doesnt sound like my thing at all, there was a disturbing lack of evidence on the cover of any kind of Exploding Helicopter or Talking Dog sequences.

Anyway it starts, the basic premise is that a young girl of twenty is getting married and wants her dad to be there but guess what, her dad could be one of three blokes, she found her mums diary and read it, the evidence of the men possibly being her dad came from her deciphering her mums coding of when she got a seeing to, she put three dots in her diary, bear in mind that this was over a couple of weeks, a more appropriate title perhaps could have been "My Mums a Slag".


So, I started watching it, and quickly became aware of the true horror of the situation, three overly perky young ladies jumping around and singing and then Julie Walters turns up all Mrs Overall, cue a rather cringeworthy reunion scene and that founf my limit, less than twenty minutes in, a disappointing performance and there is me thinking I could cope with girly films having sat through both brigette Jones's, Notting Hill, About a Boy, Four weddings and a funeral and even Love Actually, I was claiming a higher than average tolerance of Hugh Grant but all of it was lost yesterday, Mamma Mia is just to much for me.

I had to go and be all manly in the garage, sniff used engine oil and look at porn just to get my maleness back.

So, the challenge is, see if you can stick more than twenty minutes, remember if you enjoy it, you are probably, in all likelyhood Gay.

You sat and watched some of Mama Mia? Why dont you just put a dress on, you big girl?

I just caught the bit where Pierce Brosnan was singing. I don't believe that an ex-James Bond should behave in that way and he should of got out the Walther PPK and done the honourable thing.

I think I would have joined you in the garage, rather than watch that guff :thumb:

we went to the cinema to watch it, I was out within 15 minutes sat in the car. lou was out 5 minutes later. what dire ****e!

You went to the f*cking cinema to watch it? Jacko, take that frock off and give it to James ffs.

The bit where the 3 old slappers meet on the jetty was the limit for me. Is that inside oroutside 20 mins? It felt like an eternity!

:lol1:

I gave it the kids to watch with the missus whilst I was out at work

Needless to say even Donna couldnt stomach it and hates it with a real passion :lol1:

thats the bit I got to. id seen 10 plus more people walk out before me, but thought it could only get better..... wrong!

Apparently she didn't finish it last night so Air Crash Investigation was turned off whilst I was out of the room and its on again, its funny, if this was an in flight movie, ploughing into a mountain at 400 mph wouldn't seem quite so bad.

It's the biggest grossing movie in the UK of 2008 :brickwall Who the hell prefers that sh!te over Batman and James Bond :confused:

The murdering of "the winner takes it all" is less gruesome on the small screen.

Small mercies :)

In a similar vein, MrsREV has informed me that for her birthday I'm taking her to London for the weekend and she's already bought tickets for Dirty Dancing The Musical. Can someone shoot me now, please?

The success of this film and dvd shows just what retards most women are. It's tragic it's grossed so much.

Owww, has she not got a Gay mate she can take ?

100% hetro :thumb:

never been on our DVD player (yet) :)

when it does, rest assured, i,ll be hitting pron or out working with power tools :D:D

Staff at work showed a boot-leg copy to the kids at Xmas !

No wonder they are all doomed to be feckless wasters now ?

I would think, "guess the father" is a popular game in the UK.

LOL

dunx

It wasnt Donna's fault, she was young, Dumb and full of Cum....

We saw the stage show version the other year in London. I found that after consuming copius amounts of booze I quite enjoyed it, but that could be due to the booze induced sleep.

My daughter received it this Xmas and annouced yesterday afternoon we were all to watch it together in the lounge room. (we take it in turns deciding what we should all do together as a family)

OMFG it was f**king horrendous, what a pile o' sh!te.
I've seen better acting when I've been forced into watching school plays.

After the above mentioned jetty scene I fained illness and went up to bed and started watching my SAW dvds.


It's no coincidence that MAMA MIA rhymes with DIARRHOEA !!!

Thats no defense, you could be referring to your first experience with a older, patient and kind "Bear".......

Would you like a blindfold :D

I would sooner stick pins in my eyes than endure anything like the above or the DVD in question. Give me a good gruesome horror any day of the week :thumb:

This thread is funny! Surely it can't be that bad!!!!

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:


Yes, very poor choice of words on my part there!

Anyway, I don't remember anything about the show, and thats how I'd like to keep it. Just as I would if I there had ever a "Bear" incident, but there hasn't 'cos I'm sure my @rse would remember it even if i chose to forget it!

Think I'll stop now before I dig this hole any bigger :eek:

Trust me - it is bad.

It's what you'd expect to get if you crossed Pinky & Perky with Take that then asked them to do a musical tribute to Ozzy Osbourne with James May playing Ozzy.

No, its not that bad, its worse !

Started watching it 10 mins ago

Even the wife is bored

and I switched the lappie on ;)

I'm hoping to vomit when they say "nobody puts baby in the corner". I'm spending the next few weeks practising.

Im female and i only watched 20 mins of it then turned it off. Got it in the neck when i had to explain to the other half how **** it was despite me trying to get him to watch it with me

Now officially the highest grossing UK film ever, overtaking Titanic.

So somebody is watching and enjoying it, whether they're admitting it or not... ;)
