Synopsis

Adaptation of hit West End musical of the same name, Amanda Seyfried plays a young woman about to be married and trying to find out which of the three men her mother dated 20 years before is her father. Featuring the toe-tappingly catchy songs of Swedish 1970s pop group ABBA, belted out by a star-studded cast clearly having a great time, this film adaptation is as fresh, funny and relentlessly sunny as its Greek island setting.
