The guy on the piano during dancing queen is one of the original ABBA members! Typically both men from abba are scattered cameos between both MM 1 & 2!

[@YoYoWaddupBro]

I swearrrrrr to god you have to watch the second one. It's so good. Better, even.

[@emorymcc]

Take a shot every time Rob reminds them the songs will all be ABBA songs 😂

That answers my question if I would still be able to go into work tomorrow if I did play that game. 😁

[@allisonreilly1952]

Bless Pierce Bronsan for just wanting to be in a movie with Meryl Streep so bad he accepted without knowing it was a musical and deciding he’ll figure out the how to sing later 😂😂

[@sandpiperr]

And he...almost...succeeded.

[@thegaytay4327]

​@@sandpiperrI really don't understand why everyone thinks he's so bad. I like his voice. I think he would've just needed a bit more coaching and most importantly confidence. He was too hesitant to put enough power into his singing. Meryl on the other hand... Her singing actually makes me cringe

[@sandpiperr]

@@thegaytay4327 No offense, but you must be tone deaf if you think that Pierce Brosnan sounded good and Meryl Streep didn't! I'm not even trying to be mean to Pierce. I'm sure he tried his best and it was really hard for him. I get it...I don't have a good singing voice either. Objectively, his singing was not very good and even he knows it! He acknowledged it in an interview, but said that he didn't care because in Mamma Mia it was supposed to be campy, and a karakoe-like, and that what he's happiest about is that he got to sing with Meryl Streep (who, btw, was actually on key).

[@thegaytay4327]

[@personette7617]

@@thegaytay4327 While I don't agree with you on Meryl Streep sounding bad, I do agree about brosnan not being the worst singer alive (He's not particularly good either but eh) cause he sang a little bit in Evelyn, 2001 and he sounded ok, even somewhat good. I don't know what happened between them lol

[@leeannbowsher5932]

I love the fact that no matter how many times he says it they just keep asking if every song is an ABBA song 🤣🤣🤣

[@_sydchats_]

Aunt Rosie (the funny aunt) is played by Julie Walters who is Mrs. Weasley in Harry Potter. Also yes all members of ABBA are still very much alive. Two of the members (Benny and Bjorn) were executive producers on both of the Mamma Mia! films and both made cameos in the second film. Great reaction guys I loved singing along to all of ABBA's hits with you!

I’m sure someone has mentioned that Benny and Bjorn from ABBA are in the movie.

[@IndieCindy3]

I think I would feel that way had I seen the movie when I was a child or even as a teenager, but watching it as an adult gave me a lot of secondhand embarrassment-and this is coming from a musical lover.

Fun fact: The guy on the boat, which you called "Captain Rhee" is actually Benny Anderson, a member of an actual band ABBA. And at the end of the movie when they're singing "Waterloo" one of the greek gods is played by Bjorn Ulvaeus, which is another member of ABBA 🥰

[@kurtislawler984]

A few of the lyrics were changed just slightly to work with the plot, but it was very minimal. For example, in the song Mamma Mia, the original line is, "I've been cheated by you since I don't know when" but in the musical it was changed to, "I was cheated by you and I think you know when"

[@emelymarie4171]

Zuff killed me with the Tanya impression 😭😭😭😂😂😂💀💀

[@agenttheater5]

44:22 It's been basically confirmed that Bill is the dad and that that's why his great-aunt Sofia left Donna the money, but the point is it doesn't matter who her dad is. Not just because it won't make everything fall into place, but because she loves them, they love her, and they're just happy to be part of her life.

[@madih4586]

Thats a theory but I havent seen it be confirmed.

[@jocelyntmorgan]

if you ever watched the 2nd movie it’s never mentioned again that he had a great aunt on the island. they left that part out and changed a couple other things in the 2nd movie that should’ve been the same as the 1st

[@ktdillon5374]

The way Zuff kept going “where’s Skarsgård?!” But he was on screen the whole time 🤣🤣🤣

[@amymoquin8636]

Totally could've made this into a drinking game. Take a shot every time Rob has to say that they're all ABBA songs, sung by the cast.🤦😂You guys should definitely watch The Greatest Showman.

[@juliewagner3023]

Official drink count: 7 shots in one hour, that’s a DANGEROUS game 🤣

[@allisonreilly1952]

Definitely do the sequel…. Meryl Streep has a “no sequels” rule and she broke it for Mamma Mia Here We Go Again

[@clarasundqvist6013]

My personal headcanon is that the reason why Bill is so confused when Sophie asks him to give her away is because he’s not really familiar with the concept. In Sweden, the couple walks down the aisle together, so he reacts the same way I’d imagine my father reacting if I asked him to walk me down the aisle

[@I_Kare]

I love how you three all know a lot of old songs, you'd never get away with being music reactors who pretend they've never heard anything prior to 2000. 😆

[@luiscalzoncit2820]

I think it was confirmed somwhere that Bill is indeed Sophie's biological father but I like that at the end it wasn't important for Sophie as she understood Donna was the only parent she ever needed and she gained three excellent father figures in her life.

[@catwmn2345]

Of all the things I would've guessed about you guys, being into ABBA was NOT one of them. Loving this ❤❤

Meryl was kinda on a role from those years 2006 - 2009/2011, with The Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia, Doubt, Julie and Julia, It’s Complicated, and the Iron Lady. Whether you did or didn’t like those movies.

Pierce Brosnan may not be able to sign well but he knew how to emote, especially in SOS. A bit disappointed that you all didn’t pay attention to the lyrics for Winner Takes It All because it’s really emotional. Also, the sequel is fantastic!

[@xphiler0656]

Some musicals to consider: Old but classic: Annie (1982), 9 to 5, Grease, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady More contemporary adaptations: Chicago, In the Heights, Sweeney Todd, Tick Tick Boom Stage performance recordings: Hamilton, Come From Away And though Disney is its own kind of musical, A Goofy Movie is an underrated gem (especially for those who love father-son relationship narratives *nudge nudge*).

[@steve6valdez]

Benny & Bjorn, two of the members of ABBA were involved in the creation of the stage musical. It's probably why the songs seem to fit so well. They've created other musicals as well. They were involved in the movie adaptation of this as well, I believe. So I don't think there was much of an issue with the rights. The 2nd movie is definitely worth a watch.

[@zoecox98]

You guys have got to watch the second one, you’ll probably know less songs but it’s way better than the first in my opinion and the casting is insanely good!!

[@allisonreilly1952]

The second one makes me ball every time!!!

[@IndieCindy3]

Throwing out suggestions for another musical reaction: Across the Universe (2007) is set entirely to The Beatles songs, so it has the same concept of using a catalog of songs from a music artist/group to tell a story. I would also suggest La La Land (with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling) since it’s the most modern musical there is.

The members of ABBA are definitely alive and actually reunited to release a new album in 2021, the first since 1982. As One of them said, ”there’s an old rule in this business you should never let more than 40 years pass between albums.” Both Björn and Benny have cameos in the movie, Benny playing the piano on the pier in the Dancing Queen scene and Björn as a Greek god during the credits. Mamma Mia the Musical came about through the initiative of a British female director who presented the idea to Björn and Benny to write a West End musical based on the lyrics of their songs. At first they were sceptical, but then they agreed, and the rest is history.
