2. It's A Little Too Long

Did anyone really need an ABBA-themed musical to run just shy of two hours? Well, Here We Go Again clocks in at a rather suspect 114 minutes, which despite the film's surprisingly decent quality does feel rather excessive given the movie's material.

Sure, a good deal of that runtime consists of entertainingly ludicrous musical renditions, but there are a few talkier moments that could easily have been trimmed down a tad. After all, nobody's coming to this thing for the chin-wagging, are they?

It's hardly a chore to sit through, but it would help the movie feel as breezy as it wants to be if its length was a little more manageable.
