Review title: Pandering to Stereotypes
Product review: My wife knew she was going to love Mamma Mia, and she did. I expected to have mixed reactions, because while I adore Meryl Streep, I never liked the music of ABBA.My reactions weren't mixed at all. I hated Mamma Mia: the acting, the story line, the music, the lip-synching, the dancing. It was frivolous, shallow, vapid.Yeah, so? All musicals are frivolous, yet there are many I love. Cabaret. The 2005 version of The Producers. The Sound of Music. What was it about Mamma Mia that riled me so?I think I hated Mamma Mia because it was such a transparently cynical attempt to exploit a stereotype: the "female demographic" pandered to by morning news & entertainment shows, The View, Oprah & Doctor Phil, Access Hollywood. I suppose there are women who fit that stereotype, just as there are men who fit the "male youth demographic" stereotype movies like Transformers aim at. But I don't have to like it.Meryl, how could you? Where's your pride?
