Yes, that really is Streep belting ABBA in this gorgeous Greece set musical. You might hate ABBA, and the chances are you might hate all the adult male leads in the film. With that said, it’s near impossible not to delight in just how much fun Streep has throughout this film. Her character Donna is a modern feminist hero. I mean, being a single mom and owning her own inn is no easy feat. We also can’t stop ourselves from singing along to this uproarious 2008 movie starring Amanda Seyfried, Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan. Streep is always thought of as such a “serious actress,” but this is just a big movie star goofing around and having a ball. Absolutely no complaints here.
