The core appealing thing about the Mamma Mia movies is that I think most recent movies have lost a sense of camp, but Mamma Mia embraces it. It isn’t trying to be anything besides a jukebox musical about having a lovely time in Greece.
Does the plot make sense? Eh, kind of.
Does the timeline make sense? Not really but it doesn’t matter.
Are there some songs that do nothing to further the plot? Absolutely unless someone can justify “Does Your Mother Know” to me.
Is the point of the scenes with the Dynamo costumes just to enjoy some spectacle? Yes! They’re tacky and glorious.
I want to acknowledge that not one person has tried to justify “Does Your Mother Know” as having any relevance to the plot because it truly could be cut and have no impact on the rest of the movie, but it’s there because it’s fun and Christine Baranski has the range
