Did Streep sing her part in Momma Mia?

Not that I expect any film connoisseurs to admit watching it. I was as surprised at how well Meryl Streep sang as at how very badly Brosnan did. I thought MM was a real hoot; the big "dance to the dock" is the best movie musical number since "Chorus Line".

We're chasing terrorists in the wrong place...they're on Wall St.

This film connoisseur watched it... - mkuller 19:35:52 02/25/09 (2)
...on DVD with his wife who enjoyed much more than I.
She had seen the play and wanted to see the film. I was curious because someone had posted here when it first came out, about how enjoyable he found it.
Yes, Streep sang and has a pretty good voice.
And yes, Brosnan's singing was horrible.
I wouldn't describe it as a hoot, but I've seen many much less entertaining films.
I think I enjoyed the surprise dance number at the end of Slumdog more than the dock dance.

  Apart from the first few minutes with the teenage daughter which are bland, but then the film takes off in my opinion.

I am such a big ABBA fan that I saw it - Brian A 18:21:56 02/25/09 (1)
With that music, I would have enjoyed anything. Yes, I enjoyed it. I was impressed that the ABBA men helped with the music to ensure its integrity.
