Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) is just a great film, plain and simple. If you liked the first film, then you're guaranteed to absolutely love this sequel/prequel.
It stars Amanda Seyfried, who returns as Sophie, Lily James as young Donna, Christine Baranski as Tanya, Julie Waters as Rosie, Colin Firth as Harry, Pierce Brosnan as Sam, Stellan Skarsgard as Bill, Andy Garcia as Fernando, Dominic Cooper as Skye, Jeremy Irvine as young Sam, Alexa Davies as young Rosie, Jessica Keenan Wynn as young Tanya, Hugh Skinner as young Harry, Josh Dylan as young Bill, Meryl Streep ad Donna, and finally... the lengendary Cher as Ruby! One very talented cast! I thought everyone was cast wonderfully and played their roles very well. Of the new cast members, I especially loved Cher, Lily James, and Josh Dylan.
The writing is witty and clever, much like the first. And I think I liked the songs and musical numbers even better this time around. Ofcourse the first Mamma Mia really delivered on that, but something just clicked better this time. I think it's the addition of the new cast members, when you combine all that talent together it just works. The young Donna flashback part of the film is all done well, mainly thanks to Lily James. This is for sure better than the first and one of my favorite musicals!
10/10!
