No need to see this as it was not my first choice
Mary from Limerick, 02 Apr 2011
Substance-addicted Hollywood actress Suzanne Vale is on the skids. After a spell at a detox centre her film company insists as a condition of continuing to employ her that she live with her mother Doris Mann, herself once a star and now a champion drinker. Such a set-up is bad news for Suzanne who has struggled for years to get out of her mother's shadow, and who finds her mother still treats her like a child. Despite these problems - and further ones to do with the men in in her life - Suzanne can begin to see the funny side of her situation, and it also starts to occur to her that not only do daughters have mothers, mothers do too.
Sharp and witty

Fans of the novel (which is a must read) won't be disappointed by this adaptation of PftE. Snappy dialogue and lots of self depreciation abound in this tale of Suzanne Vale and her struggles with Hollywood, drugs and her mother. Very good!

Merill Streep gives good performance as troubled film star struggling with relationships and drugs/drink. Supported by many big named actors. She sings a few songs very well which probably gave her the platform for 'Mama Mia'
