The Bottom Line
Pros
- Love Mamma Mia? Then you'll want the Mamma Mia DVD
- It's a fully-featured romp through the movie itself and the making of the movie.
- On the Special Edition: Great but too-short feature on filming in Greece
- SE contains digital copy for iPod, computers - pop the special features disk into your computer
Cons
- There's a movie-only single disk DVD and a 2-disk full featured set; don't confuse them.
- Available in both widescreen and fullscreen modes; again, make sure you're getting the one you want.
- Deleted/extended scenes on the SE are pretty dull - exceptions are the Sophie-Sky love scenes
Description
- Expect to see some outtakes on the DVD. Dance rehearsal footage is said to be hilarious.
- An ABBA featurette is on the DVD.
- Look for extended and/or deleted scenes from "Mamma Mia!".
- Like "Mamma Mia"? You may also enjoy "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" and "My Life in Ruins".
