20 Feel Good Movies You Need To Watch Now

Perhaps a bit of a love-hate movie here, we can all agree the whole Mamma Mia franchise is beyond corny. But despite all the cheesiness, you just can’t help but be swept in by all the ABBA nostalgia. The variety of costume styles, the star-studded cast, the gorgeous set pieces and of course the ABBA soundtrack are all factors in why the first movie got a sequel.

In fact, the second movie improves on the first for the idyllic world it presents – people on twitter are now proclaiming Mamma Mia 2 is not just a film, it’s a lifestyle. And that really pinpoints where the appeal is within the jukebox musical – it’s pure escapism. You get lost in the scenery (even if it’s all a green screen), you want to have the same care-free lifestyle as Donna Sheridan and you wish you could be off in some far off Greek island drinking wine and singing karaoke.

Yes, Mamma Mia 2 does have continuity issues and the plotline is thin but if nothing else, it reminds you not to take everything too seriously and enjoy the simple pleasures that come with life.
