Ten years after Mamma Mia! The Movie grossed more than $600 million around the world, you are invited to return to the magical Greek island of Kalokairi in an all-new original musical based on the songs of ABBA. With the film’s original cast returning and new additions including Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver), the musical comedy will open on July 20, 2018.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman, producers of the original film. Craymer is also the creator and producer of the worldwide smash-hit stage musical.
Ol Parker, writer of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, writes and directs the sequel from a story by Catherine Johnson, Richard Curtis and Parker. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus return to provide music and lyrics and serve as executive producers. Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Phyllida Lloyd, Richard Curtis and Nicky Kentish Barnes also serve as executive producers.
Reprising their roles from Mamma Mia! The Movie are Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep as Donna, Julie Walters as Rosie and Christine Baranski as Tanya. Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper reunite as Sophie and Sky, while Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård and Oscar® winner Colin Firth return to play Sophie’s three possible dads: Sam, Bill and Harry.
As the film goes back and forth in time to show how relationships forged in the past resonate in the present, James will play the role of Young Donna. Filling the roles of Young Rosie and Young Tanya are Alexa Davies (A Brilliant Young Mind) and Jessica Keenan Wynn (Broadway’s Beautiful). Young Sam will be played by Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), while Young Bill is Josh Dylan (Allied) and Young Harry is Hugh Skinner (Kill Your Friends).

[@MrGoldxfinger]

I don't know. It kind of bothers me a little because some of these continuity errors could have been avoided like young Harry changing his T-shirt before he arrived on the island. But then if they wanted Cher in the movie, the mother role was probably the best way to fit her in.

[@somegirl5011]

Yes they did. So much.

[@itzdanielle6757]

Flicks And The City Yes, the diary part.

[@RalfAmbrosius]

For me the differences does'nt matter... Compliments to Flicks And The City for this very interesting explanation, again ! :-)

[@mistiemartin5801]

I wouldn't say bother per say. When I was watching Mamma Mia 2, I couldn't help but think that something was off. In fact I mentioned it to my friend who saw the movie with me as we were walking out of the theater. I told her I thought the sequence of who she was with was off and that I would have to watch the first one again. Such a hardship :)

[@thegirlthatdidlikemusicals7809]

My theory about the first one is: Donna thinks her mother is dead because, when Donna told her she was pregnant, her mother told her to not dare to comeback. So she thinks she is dead, because she knows nothing since then

[@eldablack]

Okay, that really makes sense🤔

[@lizsugrue5806]

Spot on! Bcause of the way Ruby disowned her daughter, she is dead to Donna and now Sophie struggles to forgive Ruby for not keeping contact with Donna.

[@Super2010Ashy]

True and correct because Donna words were " My mother told me to not bother to come back" And she did think she was dead because she never saw her again but she wasn't there to see

[@anschi2257]

I just can't get over Donnas death..it's never even explained or anything they just kinda throw that into your face “yeah your favourite character is suddenly dead for no reason, deal with it.“ This is just so horribly sad that it overshadows the funny moments. I mean they didn't have to kill her off right? It would still be sad enough with all the flashbacks to young donna and the nostalgia.

[@mermaid1717]

Minna :3 Does it have to be explained? I want explained where Fernando came from? Just how did he happen to be the overseer of the remodeled hotel?

[@kgal1298]

That's just it too many inconsistencies and for what? So Ol Parker could get a smack on the back and a huge raise? Eyyy he didn't think it out at all it has so many issues in terms of plot. I think many people like it beause the singing and acting are great, but the story and directorial choices were poor in my opinion. Go watch the first one then immediately watch this it makes zero sense. Though if they make a 3rd they could explain the Donna death, but I think it would be more true to say she died in some boating accident, though knowing these guys they'll probably say it was cancer because THAT hasn't been done a million times or anything.

[@Arlothed1no]

For a beloved character like Donna, they should have made a more meaningful tribute and explanation for her death than what we were given. I feel cheated.

It still bothers me but I can understand why they did that

Most of these didn't bother me at all, I passed them off as Donna`s interpretation of her own memories.

Pip's & Co Oh okay 😂😊

[@pennywright952]

1. It bothered me through the whole film that they didn’t address how Donna died. 2. In the first film, Rosie had never met Bill. In the second, young Rosie had a crush on him. 3. I think they should have followed the diary sequence of the guys. They could have made each relationship deeper in the second without changing the order.

[@user-yz4qp7on4v]

relying to number 2 thats because Rosie has a crush on him and explains in the song angel eyes how he was a bit of a player and he could!! have have cheated on donna with Rosie and she catches him with donna by the river

[@sarahm6034]

Sophie's age was messed up quite a lot as well, because Donna apparently got pregnant around 1979/1980 so in 2018 Sophie would have been 38, but when talking to Cher she says that Cher was 25 years to late to be her grandmother. Also in the first movie she says she was 20 and that was in 2008, so by that logic she would be 30 in the 2018 film. So technically she has 3 different ages throughout the two films?

[@tiffanylaforce474]

Happylyrics13 I noticed that aswell.

[@carolinavegar]

The first film is set in the 2000s, you can tell by the clothes of the characters and the low technology (no cell phones, computers), so if Sophie was born in 1980, she was 20 years old in 2000. If the second movie is set 10 years later, then it's the year 2010 and Sophie's 30 years old.

[@tiffanylaforce474]

But in the movie Sophie tells her grandmother it's 25 years to late

[@aespinkmoon]

We’re not sure of what year this movie is set in though, all we know is that it’s a year after Donna's death. It could be set any time from 2010 to 2018.

[@melaniethelwell]

I read that only 5 years had gone by in the movies timeline so Sophie was only 25

Another difference is Donna never talked about the three men. In the first movie Tanya and Rosie didn’t know there was three men. Donna told them in a bathroom when the men arrived on the island leading to the lovely song Chiquita. In the second film she brings them to the island and tells them about the three

[@nikkiclark2574]

Actually they do kinda know as Donna says rember I told you Sophies dad was Sam and she say we'll I'm not sure as there was 2 other guys around the same time Sam bill and Harry and Rosie said not Harry headbanger

[@renata6599]

Maybe she didn't mention that she slept with all the three of them, but she said that she had a flirt

[@notlottie9631]

Donna didn’t but the diary says x

[@melonsoda123]

I’ve wondered how Donna passed away 🤔 Also, are we ever to know who the real baby daddy is? 😂

[@emillycalmon3456]

Bill is the father

[@sarahclark5170]

since they did a pretty unclear job at making time known throughout the film its not incredibly clear but if the time was somewhat close between Sam and Bill I think it could be either of them cause when Donna started throwing up that could be because Sam got her pregnant a month or so ago and she is now expirencing things like sickness or if there was a sizable gap between the two like a few month between them then it was probably Bill. One things for sure, its probably not Harry @@emillycalmon3456

[@carysstarrett7345]

They said Donna died of Cancer but thats just what i heard

[@marrosmith]

@Maria Ferrao Actually, it is Bill. The writers from the first movie came out and said it in an interview. Added, in the first movie, we learn that Donna got the money for the B and B when Bill's aunt, Sophie (ie the woman who helped Donna birth Sophie and the mother of the owner of the bar in the second movie) gave her the money when she passed away. Bill says he always thought the money went to family and it did, his daughter and baby mamma. But the second movie heavily implied it was Sam who is the father. with all the time line mishaps, it is easy to think it was Sam, but again, it is Bill.

[@Judittt_]

I always thought it was Sam!

[@uploadedbyrobyn]

Something really small I wish they included... the eye tattoos on Bill’s knees! Just because that’s what Donna spots first when the men are in the goat house, that defining feature was so different that she knew it was Bill so I wish they added it into the 2nd film :)

[@DaskaM99]

[@TheMaliceTree]

[@jesse8131]

[@DaskaM99]

Jesse OH.my.god.I really did find it. I wasnt waiting such a small detail. I have to look closer next time I watch the film!

[@DaskaM99]

Jesse I still miss there a cheeky 🍑 though 😁

[@sakonke7519]

I have mixed feelings about this movie. I can't say I didn't liked it at all but I have some issues with it. I have to say that I didn't feel much of the ''Greekness'' that the first movie had... Maybe because I knew that they weren't filming in a greek island this time. Somehow I missed the greek culture if I make any sense... I know that the way they wanted to present ''Greekness'' in these films is through the eyes of a foreigner who loves Greece but I still feel the first movie did it right and the second, not so much. Also the very fact that Donna had died made me not to enjoy this movie as much as I would like. And the personality change of Donna's mother. I always imagined her to be a strict mother who was ashamed of her daughter getting pregnant at age 20 without even knowning the father and told her ''not to bother to come back home''. Maybe because of the shock of her daughter's death she had a change of heart? Still not buying it. Despite all that I really LOVED the music as always. I guess it is the most important think. Mamma mia is all about the awesome music of ABBA afterall.

[@phoenixwoodland4750]

[@laurenw6120]

The order she met them did bother me, but I’m not about to let it ruin my love of both of the films

[@victoriasilveira6761]

Lauren Waksman the order is correct. You see, in the original movie Harry said he met her in Paris and when after Donna. In the new movie he misses the boat, so he gets late. In that time she met Bill on the way to the island, but doesn’t get to sleep with Donna. At the island she met Sam, after he fled, Bill showed up again and this time he had his, and then we have Harry again on the island where she shows him around when he surprises her

[@kgal1298]

She slept with Sam first, then Bill then Harry. Go back and watch the first movie it's quite clear from the beginning in Mamma Mia one the order is off. Harry was supposed to make it to the island with his guitar and never did so they ended with Bill and her sleeping together.

[@victoriasilveira6761]

Donna and Harry slept together BEFORE the island. Once she’s there: first she sleeps with Sam, then Bill, and as it said in the first movie “Harry showed up out nowhere”, it’s implied that Donna and Harry had something before, and in the first movie Harry says he met Donna in Paris and then when after her in Greece. He was just late. The order on the island is correct.

[@kgal1298]

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

They are supposed to be fairytale like. Not all of it is unrealistic tho either. Its supposed to be representative of real life experiences. That is what musicals in this style and art form convey. Just like comedy movies. Stuff happening in the neighbors is soo unrealistic. But in order to tell its story in the style and art form that is intended, that is how its done. Also, most movies have unrealistic aspects. But it doesnt mean every part of the movie is unrealistic either. Most movies are forms of escapism for humans ourselves! They are a way of escaping into another world, another life for a little bit. To provide a lesson, a feeling, a new perspective. There are many things that come into play in storytelling and the realistic and unrealistic aspects come in a package together along with any form of art. Life itself has many moments or experiences that one could call 'unrealistic' but it happens. It depends on your perception and your context of what you believe is unrealistic or what. But this movie has tied the two aspects of realism and surealism beautifully into a piece that many can enjoy

[@olivergrumitt8033]

Did the differences bother me? Not at all.. The Mamma Mia films are pure entertainment, fun and enjoyable to watch, And enable people to escape world problems for a couple of hours. If these were serious films, then the differences Might matter. But they are not.

[@dandelionwitch3155]

My idea is Bill. He's blonde, blue eyes, Donna too. Cher in the movie is also blonde. But her grandfather is not. The others are brunette, yes one of them has blue eyes but, brown hair is a dominant gene over blonde hair. So, must be Bill. Also, Sophie was named after Sofia, Bill's mom.

[@hattie7465]

Brown eye alleles and brown hair alleles are dominant so bill must be the father in order for Sophie to have blonde hair and blue eyes

[@jaymierichardson-stevens5119]

It could be any of them, even with the genetics. Both my parents have dark hair, one has hazel eyes and one has green. I'm blonde with blue eyes and definitely related to them. Even though dark hair and eyes is dominant, if they carry the recessive gene it cant be passed down and with Donnas blonde hair and blue eyes it would have only increased the chances.

[@lightquest2]

The obvious plot hole I noticed was with the order of how Donna met Sam bill and Harry but I kind of like it better in the second movie more than the first because Donna was only ever truly in love with Sam and for Harry to have been her third “lover” would’ve felt kind of weird to me

[@addietaylor7353]

BoneStudios15 Yh cuz I cant imagine her being with bill and Harry after falling in love with Sam, you’re completely right

[@RaeReviews95]

I think she also really liked bill too

[@island_girl_shan]

That's so true...I've never focused on that before. part 2 makes more sense

[@allisonblank6389]

That’s the only thing I noticed while watching the movie that was different the first was the order she met the guys. I still loved the movie though and I do agree it makes more sense.

[@ananya499]

BoneStudios15 it’s actually in the right order, in her diary entries she talks about sam leaving for his engagement, then how she goes off with bill and the how harry shows up after he takes the ferry. They just didn’t show Harry coming back but the diary enteries in the first movie suggest that Donna knew bill and Harry before those entries :))

[@IxiaRayne]

I noticed most of the differences, but honestly that’s not what I watched the movie for. I wanted to have fun with ABBA tunes and have a great time with my family. Which I did. So it’s a good movie for me, despite of its flaws. :)

[@Lasseboss]

StephieFaeVaughn I didn’t like the movie, it ruined it that Donna died and that it even didn’t make sense. It didn’t have a story.

[@layneev2029]

StephieFaeVaughn exactly you’re right you should sit back enjoy the movie they’re only human you expect him to get everything right

[@jace3829]

Mamma Mia 2 ignored the fact that in the 1st movie, it clearly says she never told Tanya and Rosie about Bill and Harry, only Sam. In the "Prequal", Tanya and Rosie hear about Sam, then sees Bill, but never showed Harry (or the other way around, I can only remember them knowing about 2 of them)

[@jace3829]

The part in the first movie when she starts talking about it is after Chiquitita

[@deeanadavison7183]

Would’ve enjoyed the film however I had so many questions about all these plot holes 🤦‍♀️

[@kiaraprabhu7080]

In the first one they talk about how donnas mother disapproved of the baby because she as very catholic, in the second one it’s because she’s from Las Vegas

[@stephanieholt565]

Donna also tells Sophie in the First Mamma Mia that her mother told her if she ever got pregnant not to come home. So that she didn’t have a choice but to raise her alone

If you laughed, sang, cried or moved to the music, then it did what it was supposed to do. It’s pure entertainment and made you forget about everything else for a couple of hours.

[@aiyanaharleyroberts7533]

Donna’s mother wasn’t “resurrected” Donna said in the first one “I *bet* it’s my mother, she *never* said it *definitely* was her which explains why her mother was in the second one. I used to think “oh, why is she suddenly alive in the second one?” Until I realised lol.This isn’t hate by the way I just thought I’d point it out bc everyone says that

[@user-xh7lp9gz7n]

I love the first film, but l’m really disappointed because the second part hasn’t bring anything new. and I DO MISS DONNA! 😥😥😥

[@oliviarobben8237]

So funny i noticed all of these things as well. Lily James was so electric, passionate and fun as young Donna she stole the show. I adore both the films will hold very special places in my heart forever.

[@Whoville3]

Olivia Robben personally I felt her take on Donna was a little obnoxious. Shes very pretty and i dont doubt shes a great person in real life but how she played the character was to me like an annoying “free spirited” woman version of a player

[@lani9854]

Did anyone else notice how in the first movie right after Donna saw bill Sam and Harry she tells Tanya and Rosie who had no idea that she had relationships with bill and Harry yet in the second movie they knew that Donna had three boyfriends

[@sammiefield8895]

After 20 years (not sure the exact amount) maybe they just forgot

[@Clotte90]

But the movie takes place 3 years after the first one, so.

[@arielaroundtheworld]

Not sure if I’m remembering wrong but I also thought that they had never met any of the men before the plot in the first movie so when they meet bill in the second movie and Rosie says she’s in love with him I got confused bc I thought the first movie is when they met

[@saraburkholder4520]

I noticed that. They weren’t being very careful in their writing. They forgot to add that one to the list. Just watched the first one not long ago and realized that.

[@island_girl_shan]

It could be that they just never knew she slept with them. Both women knew of "Harry headbanger". It figures Donna would only tell them about Sam being the possible father.

[@gabbydrumheller7459]

It just makes me upset they never told us how Donna died

[@Emrys91]

I think its losely impiled that the Spanish man Sophie's grandmother ends up with as he reconises her when they meet near the end of the film

[@myte..9170]

The biggest thing that destroy the Comeback form Mama Mia was the Island and the Hotel. Its a completly diffrent Island an also a verry diffrent Hotel than in the first part. Only die Colors have changed, in Part One the Hotel was White like typical Greekhoues but in part two the hotel was more italienstyle with the stonenes

[@elementalalchemist0355]

_You mean more like Croatian, since the second movie was filmed on my father's country_

[@jorgearrieta6641]

You're so Right ! That's was exactly bothered me all The Movie !!!

[@PhxSml]

The thing I would have love to see is for young Donna to write in her journal since it is the item that’s started the first one. Without it Sophie wouldn’t have invited her fathers

[@franziskafinefein]

she is! we see the diary being packed when she leaves Oxford and we then see her writing in it at least twice later

[@FabledxDarling]

what franziska said! she writes in it for instance when she's in bed with sam and he's asleep.

[@stephaniegerdes5270]

She, she did! It was great to see that!

[@totalanimalsoup]

the biggest thing i noticed is that in the original, sam draws up plans for the hotel on the back of a menu, meanwhile in the sequel the farm house already exists and is simply built up. also im surprised they didn't hint more at bill's great aunt sofia in the sequel ( i think she is supposed to be the greek lady who owns the farm house?), also also, i'm disappointed that they didn't draw more on the legend of aphrodites fountain in this one. and finally, one inconsistency that bugged me in the sequel is that donna breaks the entire stiarcase trying to slide down the railing, but then it is magically restored?

[@mermaid1717]

Frankie Horvath I thought all of these same things!

[@kgal1298]

YUP All of that. I think a lot of people didn't bother to re-watch the first or they'd be pretty upset. It's okay in my head Ol Parkers sequel didn't happen.

[@heidsbfic173]

yes, I kept waiting for the movie to reveal the greek lady to be Bill’s great Aunt. I loved both movies but very disappointed in the lack of care the writers put toward continuity- a simple film-making 101 principle. If viewers can easily catch blatant inconsistencies, I think the writers should have prevented them, even the grandmother. Cher could have appeared in the flashbacks instead resembling Donna’s rant where her friends accused her of sounding like her mother. That would have been funny.

[@Ballooice]

yes i noticed all this mistakes and also that about house- the owner was mother of a barman???? and i think in part one the greek lady was related to Bill, i think ....i felt like no one watch part 1 ...so unlogic....i really didnt like the second part

Who else cried at the end when watching Mamma Mia Here We Go Again? It reminded me of my grandmother and that she’s always watching over me and supporting my family, even though we can’t see her, she is still in our hearts. (I almost chocked on my chocolate when Sky said Donna had died).

[@brigit9692]

I noticed the change in order of when Donna met each guy right away, but definitely agree that the order in MM2 made a much stronger narrative

[@lola-lauren371]

Honestly, when I first saw the trailer I was shocked that Meryl Streep wasn’t going to be in it for that long. But when I watched it I was absolutely in love. I’ve always been a fan of Cher and was so excited to see her in the movie. When Cher was singing Fernando it felt like that song was made for her. Still not over Cher and Meryl being in the same movie!!

[@Whoville3]

[@aimee7746]

Although i see the mistakes and plot holes i enjoyed the movie. In fact when i saw the trailers i thought that Donna was traveling with Sam around the world and her daughter Sophie was managing the hotel, in fact that would be a great story and not so melancholych, but i loved either way. Ps.: Sorry about some grammars errors.

[@LegendOfKellda]

I didn’t even notice these when I saw the second movie but I completely agree with you and the choices of the filmmakers: they didn’t PLAN to make a sequel, and being confined to the choices that they made over a decade ago would’ve cause Mama Mia 2 to be completely different.

[@anaiscardot6674]

I usually get quite annoyed with movie/series inconsistencies, but I loved the second movie so much that I literally didn't even notice. Both Mamma Mia movies are fantastic alone and together.

[@marianasaraiva468]

also in the first movie when donna tells her friends about sophie's dads, both tanya and rosie had already met bill but they acted as if they didn't know him, especially rosie who kinda had a crush on bill when she first saw him

omg, love both movies but think i prefer the new one..... the songs are EPIC, can’t stop listening to ‘why did it have to be me’ Young bill is deffo my favourite. i can’t believe i forgot about the difference in appearance from the young/old dads but i’m glad they went for something a little less over the top.

[@mermaid1717]

Yeah.. the inheritance part. Sophie was named after a woman Donna took care of & Donna also inherited money from this woman for her hotel. In the first movie Bill says, "My Aunt Sophie". So was the lady in the bar his Aunt Sophie?

[@sarafehling6013]

I think so

[@juliemacdonald6572]

Yes I’m boat he mentions his aunt and probably how the owner of the bar knew enough about him to taunt Sam with it. That’s how I took it

[@annalisaluna3035]

Julie Macdonald I noticed that and liked this part in particular because she had the suspicions of her nephew and just accepted Donna as she was a kind spirited girl

[@MrTonyTV3]

1. How Donna died 2. How Sky met Sophie and how long they've been in a relationship before they were "matried" in the first movie 3. Both the movies didn't mention Sky's sides of the stories! Like who are Sky's parents? 4. Sophie's best friends are not there. 5. How can Sophie be pregnant that fast while Sky literally just returned back? 6. How did Sky managed to return to Kalokairi? The movie did explained about Bill and Harry but not Sky 7. If Sophie told Sky to postpone their marriage, they should've been married already in the second movie did they? 8. The second movie didn't clear enough to explain how Tanya and Rosie's relationships ended These bugged me when I watched the second movie

[@oliwkaxd9254]

That when was WHEN HER MOTHER WAS ALIVE !!

[@Qualimar]

The first film also sort of implies Donna's mother was religiously strict - "Don't you sound like your mother!" "It's Catholic guilt" - and that Donna and her mother never spoke again because Donna had sex and got pregnant outside of wedlock. 'Here We Go Again' plays Ruby as much more of a vain, selfish hedonist who just was not ready to become a grandmother.

[@Shari_Jessica23]

Qualimar this is exactly what I thought!

[@jeffreycline7365]

I have the best idea for what it should have been. 5 years after the first one, Sophie and Sky return to the island for Thanksgiving at Donna’s... as do Rosie, Tanya, the dads, etc... the first time everyone’s been together since the wedding 5 years ago! The vibe would be less sunny and beachy and more Thanksgiving-y.... oh and Donna’s alive and welcomes everyone. So once the big gang is all together, they cozy up next to the fire and ask Donna to tell the story of how she met all three dads. Then we’d get the whole flashback story from the movie... basically it would be way less of the modern-day story and way more of the prequel story (and the prequel story would be where we get all the sunny beachy vibes). And then at the end of the night (once the prequel story is done being told by Donna), everyone wipes the tears from their eyes and Thanksgiving is over. That would be so easy and quick for Meryl to do because it would be mostly flashbacks. And she could still perform My Love My Life with Sophie at the end maybe when Sophie leaves the island with her family.... and Donna could hug her granddaughter during the song so we can all bawl 😃 I feel like that’s so good.... the Thanksgiving vibes would set it apart visually from the first movie... no one would have to die... we’d still get the amazing flashbacks of young Donna....

[@archiemann1642]

Donna didn’t know her mum was alive “maybe it’s my mother” MAYBE it’s her mother, she had no contact with her parents and so had no clue

[@Kabbaway]

It’s never said she never has contact with her mother, just that she was disowned. Plus if we’re meant to believe her mother was a famous singer then there’s no way Donna wouldn’t at least know about her fate via the news. The “I bet” bit is clearly about the previous phrase “someone up there has got it in for me”, meaning she already knows for a fact her mother is dead. Not to mention the director didn’t even bother with an explanation and just said “don’t overthink it” which is basically just deflecting from taking responsibility for the plot hole, therefore acknowledging that Donna’s mother was canonically dead in MM1

[@ranacabuk9175]

[@valeriafaris5481]

Yeah, or the baby's christening?

[@21cgIN]

Which reminds me that the timeline was wrong too. The christening scene was '9 months later' from the scene where she announces her pregnancy, however that's when she was going to be giving birth. Christenings only take place when the child is at least 7-8 months old if not later. I have never heard of a new-born being christened.

[@abbieburchard3180]

Okay so the diary entries being different really messed me up cause I was confused while I was watching the second movie about which younger guy matched up to which of donnas lovers because the order was switched but besides that I didn’t mind the other changes

I loved introducing Cher at the end and how she capped off an excellent movie with her fabulous singing... and the ghost imagery of connecting with her deceased mother was very touching..

I think the dad timeline goes as followed: 1. Meet Harry 2. Meet bill 3. Meet Sam 4. Reunite bill 5. Reunite Harry

[@rcd2000]

[@FlicksAndTheCity]

We certainly see the first four of those in the sequel, Roxanne, and Young Donna could well have reunited with Harry later, we just don't see it on screen. However, that's not what was in the diary in the first film. Still love the movie though! :-)

[@lauratencate537]

Well it really bothered me that in de first movie Harry was absolutely gay, but in the sequel they didn't pay attention to it at all. As is he wasn't gay at all...

[@priyanwakanma3621]

Well, what I'mm thinking is that Harry discovered he was gay in the second movie, so a young Harry wouldn't have known.

[@angeliqueriou2660]

I actually really liked that. Seeing as they didn't make make him a stereotypical gay guy was extremely effeminate. I really enjoyed that it was alot more subtle and I truly think he was swept away by Donna and her personality (after all she was the first and last woman he ever loved). She offered him an escape from his scheduled and planned out life, and in my opinion she also gave him the tools needed to go out and learn more about himself and to explore sexuality.

[@luciole1747]

I had such a blast watching this movie!! I saw it two days ago (in France): i spent 1h54 singing and dancing in the movie theater, being emotional sometimes ^^ Wonderful story, wonderful characters, I loved it!!!

Lucie in the trailer I barely saw Donna, was she even there?

[@luciole1747]

Saarah Khan no unfortunately... actually she appears at the end of the movie for a very emotional scene with Sophie :) however the movie is still amazing!!! I wouldn’t have thought it could be so without Donna!

[@RaeReviews95]

I wish in the second one they spoke about Harry being gay and if he ever had a lover after the first one. They seemed to completely gloss over that. and I wasn’t buying how her and Harry had sex either because he seems such a gentleman and for him to just ask her to be his first without really knowing her seemed out of character. Something that maybe bill would’ve done. Last point, anyone else think that bill is Sophie’s dad??

[@melonsoda123]

Rachel Isreal I’ve always had a feeling that Bill was the real baby daddy.

[@kevinujoodha5985]

The biggest one that I noticed was that the ages don't make sense. In the original movie Sophie was 20 years old, as quoted in the movie. So that means that twenty years ago is when Donna had graduated college and went to Greece (as seen in the second movie). So sometime in that range is when she got pregnant with Sophie. Let's assume she was somewhere around 22 after graduating college, so that means in the original Mamma Mia Meryl Streep (58 at the time) was playing a mother who was roughly 43 years old. Same goes for Pierce Brosnan (54 at the time) and Stellan Skarsgard (56 at the time). The ages just dont match up... not a big deal and something that doesn't make a difference on the enjoyment, but it was something I noticed.

[@cryptogoddess3781]

Oh my GOSH ... seen it with my girls yesterday ... it was AWESOME!! WE CRIED AND LAUGHED together! Thanks!

[@carinawoodmansee9699]

The second movie was so off from the first that I don't even relate it to the first. Which is why I wasn't so sad that Donna had died because I considered it to be a totally different movie. It was way too different than the first to be an extension. No wonder Meryl passed on this one

[@lightquest2]

Meryl didn’t pass on the movie. It wasn’t even her choice to kill of donna. The woman who created the play Judy Craymer came up with the entire story

[@bcblossom]

From what I heard (and I'm sorry I don't remember what video it was in) Donna's death was written in because Meryl Streep doesn't do sequals. It's just something she hasn't ever done and so she was only willing to do the movie if it was a very small roll. That is of course just what I heard on the topic from one video...wish I could remember. Worth looking into though. =)

[@FlicksAndTheCity]

I think you're talking about my video about Meryl Streep & MM2 where I explain the cast and filmmaker decisions behind why Donna died in the movie ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqZo3-noratY7s :-)

[@nicolepuig5855]

exactly i didnt really feel so bad about donna dying because it just didnt seem real to me because the movies were so different. A little disappointed that it turned out that way

[@RaeReviews95]

I wish they said how she died tho. If the timeline is correct, she had Sophie at 20 and so she would’ve been 45 , 44 when she died. Anyway not believing the age they’re trying to pass off for donna’s friends ? They’re suppose to be the same age as Donna which is 44 and they look like they’re in their 50s/60s. Same with sam

[@filippastromberg1519]

I love the first movie so much probably have seen it over 20 times. The only changes I noticed while watching the movie was the guitar and also how they looked different in the look back in the first movie compared to the second.

[@alihouston1279]

[@victoriarose4716]

I liked it a lot :) Lilly James was really amazing and totally believable as a young Donna. I almost had tears when she was giving birth at the end.

[@mollydyke2313]

Lily and Meryl just found out they are actually 9th cousins so I’m pretty sure you couldn’t have got any closer to a younger version of Meryl (unless you got Mamie). I think Lily captured exactly how young Donna would have been and her mannerisms as a character are very similar to that of Meryl’s. Such a coincidence that they are actually related tho isn’t it?!

[@mollydyke2313]

[@mollydyke2313]

kate yeah ik about the Meghan and Harry thing but the media haven’t actually made it up because Lily actually looked into her family tree and found it out. Meryl even commented saying “amazing to think that we share jeans and genes” so they are clearly both aware of it and know who their ancestors are. With the Meghan and Harry thing they didn’t know about what the media were saying and if they did then it wasn’t confirmed cos they didn’t comment. Meryl and Lily have both commented and said how excited they are to be related. They are a lot more closely related than I am to a celebrity like Beyoncé for example so they are actually family technically. I was just saying that it’s a weird coincidence that lily was playing the younger version of Meryl and they are actually related

[@maddyacoustics]

Sophie is meant to be 25 in the 2nd movie. Making it 2004 as Donna was pregnant in 1979. But what gets me is Sophie uses a modern smart phone which definitely weren't around in 2004.

[@amitutorialssykes5969]

Oh, I know they ignored stuff. For example, in the first one it was ‘Sam, Bill, Harry’ but really in the second one it’s ‘Harry, Bill, Sam, Bill again’. Just so everyone knows I wrote this before they explained how she met everyone
