Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Donna is repairing the shutter with a cordless drill, there is not a bit in chuck, so there's no way it could "repair" the shutter. The empty chuck is visible in subsequent scenes with the same drill.

TheFanCarpet.Com - Initial Reaction
Take a Chance... It's Surprisingly Brilliant!
While the majority of the film is brilliantly silly, Meryl Streep gives us an emotional show stopping performance of 'The Winner Takes It All. Who wouldn't pay to see James Bond singing 'SOS'? Pierce Brosnan was humorously over-emoting everything but it worked perfectly within the context of the film.
Donna and Sophie (Mother and Daughter) are perfectly cast with an uncanny similarity in both looks and personality. Julie Walters almost steals the whole show, sorry I mean film, with her performance of 'Take a Chance on Me'.
It does take you about 20 minutes to settle down from the excitement of this outstanding cast singing their hearts out. I'm not the biggest 'movical' fan but if go in with an open mind and a bunch of people and you'll leave uplifted and pleasantly surprised.
