Hannah you had the same reaction I did when I first watched this movie

[@Delaney.N]

There are deleted scenes and deleted songs from the movies you should do a separate reaction video for those

Donna Sheridan had cancer that how she passed away Hannah

[@twilightmlp-ll3tx]

Loved this, could you do a video on Bridgit Mendler's album "Hello My Name Is..." and her later music?

[@Dreamsaremyrealityzo]

It would be so fun to see you react to french songs and performances, to share a bit of our culture and not only the language ? 😘

[@joelbarrientes2831]

in my opinion, harry’s acting awkward and nervous because he’s trying to figure out his sexuality. at the end of the first movie, he comes out as gay and reveals to donna that she was the only and last girl he ever loved.

[@Slime_Lord2232]

yes i thought i was the only one who picked up on that

[@jaymour.]

Yep. The whole time I was like this feels like a gay person masking to me.

[@lal4mm]

​@Slime_Lord2232 It's definetly not just you 😅 that's clearly the story, but Hannah forgot about it 🤦‍♀️😅

[@alemena4926]

That was exactly the reason. He did an amazing job.

[@paige8453]

If he legitimately loved a woman then he's not gay he is bisexual. But bisexuals don't seem to exist in hollywood. Characters are either gay or straight never Bi even when it would make more sense.

[@KSan357]

Supposedly Meryl Streep hates sequels and won't do them. She actually made an exception by being in ending scene because she loves Mamma Mia so much

[@sosos4306]

But she's even said that she'd be open to doing another one! The vibes are just too good to pass on lol

i still think they could have come up with a better reason for her not being there than killing her off😭

[@KSan357]

[@gavin9956]

Yea i heard that too but it just seems silly to me because they could've just said she was traveling or something and then had her come back at the end for the wedding since that's basically what she did anyway@@KSan357

[@shevaunvan-hoff4069]

Meryl Streep's reduced role in Mamma Mia 2 resulted from a combination of factors. The decision to have Donna die between the end of the first movie and the start of the second allowed the creators to tell more of Donna's story via flashbacks, with a younger version of the character portrayed by Lily James. Streep was intrigued by this concept and agreed to do the film, indicating a willingness to pass the torch to the younger characters and be involved in a different capacity. Judy Craymer, the franchise creator, clarified that Streep embraced stepping back from the limelight to allow the younger characters to shine and preferred a less prominent role. This choice facilitated the exploration of the story's emotional nuances, which centre on themes of life, marriage, loss, and love. In summary, Meryl Streep's decision to reduce her role in Mamma Mia 2 stemmed from her desire to pass the torch to younger characters and engage in a different capacity, alongside the creative choice to delve into the story's emotional depth.

[@josephine3027]

you can’t think too hard about this movie it’s all just vibes and the vibes are outstanding, casting of the younger versions was perfect

[@julialovesgfriend]

I cried SO hard I had a horrible headache !!! + earlier that day I had a really traumatizing experience with my absent dad’s girlfriend or whatever she was calling my mom to disrespect her, and watching that scene of Donna and Sophie really hit lol I had a stress migraine for hours but ultimately, my memory of that day was saved by that movie

Yes! Plus a lot of people with certain conditions (ie arthritis, asthma, TMJ, cardiovascular disease, etc.) can sense barometric pressure shifts before rain comes. I have chronic migraine and my friends used to call me Karen Smith because I would get a sudden gnawing pain and be like “Guys, I think it’s going to rain soon!” and then sure enough, in an hour it would start raining!

I heard she needed a backbrace lol

[@xoxo_Lauren_your_fav]

[@rjturnipsauce]

You're 100% correct, Harry isn't into Donna. He's doing that relatable gay thing where you choose someone to have a crush on, and convince yourself you're in love with them. (in the first movie Harry tells Bill he's gay.)

[@Schnipps]

I mean he's kissing and dancing with a guy at the end too lol Bill knew he was gay before Harry knew himself

[@Corinthians1614]

Ok but can we also discuss Christine Baranski’s younger actress? Christine has a very unique face and the fact they were able to find someone who even remotely looks like her is insane.

That's so empty and lame. 😅 Why do a """movie""" that barely has a story just to have an excuse to play some ABBA songs? And half of them were already used in the first movie! Like 🙃. If I wanted to just listen to the songs, I would have just listened to the band's discography and the first movie's soundtrack. 😂

[@Saturnm0ss]

@@MusicLoverInTheSkybecause thats what mamma mia is. Its a vibe movie

[@MusicLoverInTheSky]

@@Saturnm0ss At least the first one actually made sense and was enjoyable. This one was all over the place and really felt like what they cared about was milking more money from the nostalgia, actors' names and songs (again, like half of the songs used in the second one were already used in the first one). Super empty and absurd, a complete 180° turn from the first movie.

[@lal4mm]

Cher being the grandma is the FUNNIEST thing 😂 And how they set up the Fernando guy from the beginning as if it was the biggest plot 🤣🤣 I literally laughed so much at it

[@lauras5359]

I genuinely hate that Cher is I'm this movie. Her voice does not suit ABBA songs at all.

[@llc358]

I fully think it should have become canon that all 3 do become her dads. Sam is her step dad via marriage to Donna, Bill is her bio dad (I mean look at young Bill, it's gotta be him) and Harry can be her step dad via marriage to Bill 🤣

[@carlycchapman]

Honestly, based on both the original movie and this one, I always felt like it was kind of implied that Sam was her Bio Dad. She can have Bill in her life with 'Auntie' Rosie, since I think they get back together, and she can have Harry in her life and his Husband as 'Uncles' Harry and whatever his husband's name is.

[@kl-1447]

I think they confirmed that Bill is her bio dad off screen. But basically they all are her dads and they have a father/daughter relationship for all of them, it's just not official

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

​@carlycchapman there was a cut scene where Bill was confirmed to be her dad, and he's her dad in the original stage version. Plus, yk, genetics of blonde hair

[@James.Stark.Ben.Edition]

Meryl actually doesn't like doing sequels lol (and why this movie was stuck in production hell for so long), so it really shows how much she cared about the first movie to be willing to come back to this franchise (though i think she basically said she'd only come back for a while and if they'd kill her off). but we're getting a third movie at some point!!!

[@happiestwolf1238]

someone actually did a theory if how she died and i cant think of what the video is called

[@EvaSofie]

She never wanted Donna to be killed off but she wasn't a producer so she couldn't override what the writers decided.

[@mione134]

It’s an old school story made in a fairy tale kind of way. It’s not meant to have explanations for everything, you just gotta go with it, it’s a conscious decision from the writers!

[@tesstucker3311]

When I saw this movie in theaters and Meryl Streep showed up, did her song, and then in the quiet moment as she closed the doors, the entire theater audibly heard one dude say “who was that?” and everyone cackled because we just instantly knew he was the husband dragged along. Completely ruined the “moment” and created a new one where the whole theater just accepted the absurdity of the movie. And the absurdity of this man saying “Who was that” about Meryl fucking Streep.

[@RyanIsOnYoutube]

Re: Sky and Sophie. In the first movie, Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried had just met... and fall in love when shooting the movie, but in the sequel, the actors broke up. They probably wanted nothing to do with each other on set. Could explain their absolute flat performances!

[@m1ck28]

Actually, there was a lot of behind the scenes content with them and Dominic and Amanda are friends and were happy to be working together again. I don't know why they seemed so stiff in the movie though, it could have just been awkward to act romantic since they are exes and friends lol

[@kimm6589]

@@m1ck28 My assumption is that was the direction they were given, to seem 'depressed'. It didn't come off well.

[@lisahenry20]

Regarding 7:10, I know the song mentions crying but when I'm sad, I cry on the inside. From the outside, I'm very flat and emotionless, usually mentally and emotionally drained, so the way they are in this song at least feels very accurate.

[@SkyBorba]

in Fernando's defence, my grandfather was a sailor and he could always tell when a storm/bad weather was coming days and days ahead, i dunno how but he did

[@feliciaroseantonia]

This is cute because its implied Fernando is Donna's father, which would make him Sophie's grandfather, meaning the scene where he tells her about the incoming storm is even more similar to your own grandfather apparently lol

[@SkyBorba]

@@feliciaroseantonia pretty much yeah lol

[@dubz_dev]

I think it would have been so cool if we had all 70's Donna and then it switches when she gives birth to Sophie and we reveal that it was Sophie rereading her mother's journal before the reopening. Sam comes in with his "I miss her too" and then we get all the current day, and we can keep the finale parallel with sophie releasing donna to embrace her new child into the world. You still get everything, just with a more stable timeline. that being said I still love this movie and the first mamma mia will always be my comfort film

31:32 i hate to be the bearer of bad news, and don't read this if you don't want to know the reason, they actually did have an idea for how she died but they did not say it in the movie because it would ruin the vibes and make it too sad and then it becomes a movie about her death, but they do know how she died. they said she died of cancer. which sucks.

[@carpenterdudepl9827]

If you want more Meryl Streep singing, she was also in a Netflix adaptation of the Prom, alongside some other notable actors (and James Corden). And on a different note, after this film, Cher released an entire album of just ABBA covers which is kind of hilarious because it's literally just that - Cher doing ABBA.

And imo it’s also the most heartbreaking and most beautiful song, only rivalled by its equivalent in the first movie (aka slipping trough my fingers) because Mamma Mia is not about Sophie and Sky but Sophie and Donna 🧡💛

Cher for me was a great addition to the cast - I agree with you, Sophie deserved an apology from the Grandma - but I can't be mad - like is Cher.

There was something that Meryl Streep said she would cameo but didn’t want to be fully in it and how Donna died was supposed to be cancer but the writers didn’t want to come out fully with it. And honestly how Sophie’s grandma acted kind of shows why Donna didn’t come back, for me it explained so much of why Donna just left after college and explored looking for that place to go.

It's okay to cry if you want to. when I first watch the movie I cried to in fact, I waited 11 days before watching your video just because I didn't want to cry again. Because when I first watch it, I got so sad. I had to write a letter to my mom. It was that emotional for me.

Lily James replicates a lot of Meryl’s vocal patterns when she Donna in such a beautiful way. Like it really sounds like it could be her thirty years younger.

I arrived late to the theatre for this movie, so I missed the shrine scene to warm me up for Donna’s death. I exclaimed a profanity out loud when Sky says it out loud for the first time. Totally floored me too, I agree ☝🏻

[@georgewestcott1463]

guys get ready because they are making a third installment of Mamma Mia

[@BurnItUpp2009]

Wut.

[@Williams-yz3ui]

@BurnItUpp2009 In June 2020, Judy Craymer announced that a third film was in development, with the producer confirming that some of the new ABBA songs written for the band's reunion could feature in the soundtrack, although stating that the COVID-19 pandemic had caused delays with development of the project. In October 2023, Craymer reaffirmed a third film.

If you want a little more of Meryl singing, you should react to the most recent season of Only Murders In The Building!

I've been on a search for the perfect palazzo pants since 2018 bc of this movie and Donna's outfits!

[@niks2392]

Bjoern from ABBA is actually in this movie, he is the professor in the beginning when Donna gratuades

[@kelliesidebottom4015]

Mamma Mia 2 is absolutely perfect, nothing will ever convince me otherwise. Also, I fell in love with Lily James the very second she appeared on the screen 😍

[@sofiajohansson1438]

In the stage musical 'One Of Us' is a Donna/Sam song from when they meet again as adults, looking back on their relationship, as well as 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', and yes it fits better. While I love that they did use some of the songs that were cut from the first movie and show the relationship, I agree that it doesn't feel as deep as the musical/first movie made us believe Also yes of course everyone falls in love with Donna, it's Lily James/Meryl Streep! Who wouldn't fall in love with her? Thank you for being as upset and shocked by Donna's death as I was when I saw this movie like a year ago. I also cried at the end, even just watching this now. Thank you for pointing out all the thoughts I had watching this movie. But yea, Harry was awkward because he was closeted and was masking. He literally didn't know how to flirt and didn't really wanted to but felt like he 'had to sleep with a woman'.

[@annabanana2764]

Keep in mind, they have to build the movie around the songs

[@Maypril1894]

Mamma Mia & Mamma Mia 2 have to be two of my favorite movies of all time! I usually watch them with my mom, one right after the other 😂 When I watched the second one for the first time I was in the middle of a depressive episode (I have bipolar disorder type II, undiagnosed at the time) and the movies/the music brought me a little bit of comfort ❤ Andante, Andante is my favorite song from this movie, btw ❤

[@eloisa540]

Yessss omg, ever since you reacted to the first one I was hoping you would do this one hehe

[@clairewood-uw4mr]

I’m really hoping you see this but I have watched your videos for like two years and I love your reactions they are so entertaining! (It doesn’t matter cause you have a great personality too but you ARE SO PRETTY!!!!) love you Hannah ❤

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Lily James was the best part of this movie

[@emilys_vlogs781]

the lighting looks so good! it makes you look like ur glowing!!🌟🌟

[@notevenfunny_]

I would love a Cinderella reaction🥺

[@mitchellhp]

I discovered Lily James through this movie, and I just fell in love with her & her voice. Her version “I Have a Dream” is my absolute favorite. Beyond that, my mom had passed a few years before this movie released. I forget at which point, but it is revealed in the movie that Donna passed from cancer - another reminder of my own mom. When it got to “My Love, My Life” I just sobbed in the theater. So, is it a perfect movie? No, but it’s so fun & will always be special to me.

[@Dinkybiker]

Oh Hannah, we love you, your reactions and commentary 😂🫶

[@bookswithseab]

I totally agree with. you! This movie lacked in writing and plot but the songs and vibes were 100% so worth it for me!!

[@batll0]

Mamma Mia is one of my favourite things in the whole entire world, but the second movie I have such a mixed relationship with. Like, 1. Bi Anthem "Why did it have to be me", amazing, 2. Casting for the Dynamos, amazing. 3. Songs (taken out of their film context), amazing. But Cher was just there so they could record a Cher/Abba cover album, Donna dying makes me SOB and this is meant to be a feel good movie (tbf, that could be a good point...I do love a good cry, and Meryl Streep's song is beautiful and heartfelt, but Mamma Mia is a happy film for me... def mixed feelings). And the entire plot is...there 😂

[@batll0]

Also I hadn't watched all the way to the end before commenting, but it is WILD to me that Sophie's grandmother comes back and literally doesn't even acknowledge that her daughter was kicked out (by her), had a kid, made a life for herself and died before she even stepped into the picture. "You're pitchy" WELL YOU'RE A TERRIBLE MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. I'd not really noticed before but that's ridiculous

[@KianHusband]

I’ve only just noticed that when the young dynamos sing super trouper their outfits are based on the clothes Frida & Agnetha from abba wore

[@aslaugsofieogilvie4590]

Loving the lighting Hannah! Very flattering on you and good for your hair colour too❤❤❤

[@karathomas4281]

I watched this movie with my mother a week after losing my grandmother (her mother) and we bawled together during my love my life, my mother sadly passed in December so that scene/ song really means a lot to me and gets me every single time💔

[@warriorcatsgathering]

This has nothing to do with the movie but, openly Queer and Poly?? Just became my new fav KZbinr LOVE THE REPRESENTATION! (I figured after you knew the term triad but TO HAVE IT CONFIRMED????)

[@kristianfernbratt2480]

mama mia 2 is an absolute chaotic masterpiece cause it does not make sense but does.

[@HannahLemp]

i am french, and i must say i am very impressed by your pronunciation!!
