From what I know of the history of this play/movie the two ladies that worked so hard to get ABBA and others to put this together in GB are now two of the wealthiest women in England – and from what I have seen it drives the critics nuts, (“lousy, bad camera work, Brosnen can not carry a tune etc., etc.,) the bottom line folks, this movie fits like that old comfortable shirt your wife (the critic) wants you to throw away because it looks “awful”. Well, the heck with em, I like my shirt, and I like meatloaf and mashed potatos, and I like Mama Mia, maybe it is mind candy, maybe it does not reach the high brow standard, but it “feels good” so the pundants can take their “expert” advise and put it where “the sun don’t shine”, this movie makes me smile and who knew Meryl Streep could sing like that – the “Winner Takes it All” maybe very poorly filmed according to the so called experts because the one I saw said “get me off the Merry-go-Round” but it sure sent chills down my back – let the experts rave – I know what I like, and this film made me laugh – in times like these I will take that any old time over what the high brows think I should see!
PS – as for Mr. Brosnan’s singing and why he did the film – straight from the horses mouth –
Q. What drew you to this movie? A. My agent called and said, “Meryl Streep, Mamma Mia!,” and I said, “I’m in!” I didn’t even know who I was playing. I kept thinking, I want to work with this wonderful actress.
Q. How did you fare with all the singing you had to do for the role?
A. I’ve never done anything as orchestrated or musically complex in my life. At first, I just made noises. Then I went to London and trained in the studio with Benny [Andersson] and Bjõrn [Ulvaeus] from ABBA. My family let me know that they were very worried for Dad when they first heard Dad sing. But sing I did.

I sometimes wonder what movie the critics see because it rarely if ever matched the movie I see. I paid to see this movie five times and took my daughter four of those times, we LOVE it. I makes you feel good, the music gives you energy, to me the movie made me feel young and hopeful. The loctaion it was shot in was breathtaking, the chemisty on screen was wonderful! When it first came out it was not a trailer that grabbed me and I really had no interest in seeing it, but a friend of mine invited me and my daughter to go with her one night, and I am so glad we did. I shudder to think I almost missed one of the best big screen experiences I’ve ever had.

I LOVED this movie. I saw it six times in the theater and laughed and bobbed my head as much the sixth time as the first. The music great!! Ok, so Pierce Brosnan isn’t the best singer in the world. You know what? I’ve paid a whole lot more money to see people in concert that were suppose to be great singers and were so much worse than Pierce. Besides if you don’t want to listen to him just watch him. He’s showing some age(but then aren’t we all) he’s still quite attractive. I think Merryl Streep did an incredible job. Who knew she could sing like that?! And Donna’s two friends are a hoot. And I think the girl that plays Sophie is adorable.
In today’s times it’s great to be able to sit down with a movie and not have to think about it. Just be entertained by it. It’s a great “bad day” movie. Go home put your feet up and just veg out. Sure to improve your bad mood greatly!!

I actually saw this movie 3 times at the theater and enjoyed it just as much the 3rd time as the 1st. You smile the whole way thru. You just know that the cast had a terrific time making the movie. Looking around the theater I could see the majority of the people’s heads bobbing with the music and as I sat there at the end and people were leaving they were actually singing along with the music at the credits. This is just a flat out FUN movie that left you feeling GREAT.

I can’t fault the acting in this movie one bit. Brosnan was damned if he sang the part & damned if he didn’t, so having the courage to do so with a less than trained voice shows character, in my opinion. I will agree with the critics that the cinematography was, in places (The Winner Takes it All & the courtyard scene with Streep & Brosnan) just awful, but I love the film all the same. A movie is more than the sum of it’s parts & this movie makes me smile. At the end of the day, entertainment is still supposed to entertain, yes?

In the later period of the Tom & Jerry shows, a European
animation company (Dutch, I think) made some of the worst
ever attempts at Tom & Jerry ever seen. They had none of
the atmosphere or spirit of the classics. They were badly
drawn, had terrible sound effects and little of the
memorable big-band orchestra music which Tom & Jerry was
well-known for…
Why do I mention this?
Well, I’ll tell you…
It’s because even those awful, late Tom & Jerry episodes
were a whole lot better than this absolutely terrible movie.”Tom & Jerry – The Movie” is an insult to the fans and almost
tarnishes the memory of the greatest cartoon characters of
all-time.Stick to the originals!!!

My son is 2 years old and used to watch the Veggie Tales movies all the time untill he was introduced to Tom and Jerry. Now this is the ONLY movie that he will watch. I beleive that this movie shows that even though you are differant you can still bve friends and that is the lesson that I want to instil into my child. I feel that this movie is a nice change for this generation where children see too much violence. My son would watch this movie non stop all day if I allowed him too. I have bought other classic Tom and Jerry movies for my son and the other ones don’t compare to his favorite the Tom and Jerry movie. I would like to see another movie come out then maybe I can get two movies into rotation!!!!!!

This movie is really not all that bad….People really need to look upon the T&J Movie and the original classic cartoons as two different things….
I have all of the classic T&J’s on Laserdisc (The versions that have not been re-edited for polical correctness reasons!). My 4 year old daughter and I watch them all of the time. Alot of people do not realise that the originals use to be played in movie theaters before a feature film and were made for adults. The originals were not geared towards kids.. But the Tom & Jerry Movie is…..And there is nothing wrong with that !
After viewing the movie with my daughter, I found myself appreciating the movie for what it is. A KIDS FLICK! Critics of the movie also have to realise that it is a MOVIE and not a short 6 or 7 minute cartoon. So you need a story. And a story geared for kids. You cannot fill an entire movie with a bunch of chases that end with a pie in the face. That pond has been fished empty with the Tom & Jerry characters……
As far as the movie itself, I thought that the animation was great, the music was great and the story was cute. Plus, on occasion there were glimpses of the classic T&J antics incorperated into the film. I actually liked how they worked into the movie Tom and Jerry speaking for the first time. They both spoke at the same time and both of them looked at each other and said “I didn’t know you could talk”. I thought that was rather funny….
There was also a scene in which Jerry frees a bunch of caged animals and Droopy slides out of one of the cages and says “Hello all you happy people”. I thought that was a great touch for all of us older folks who watched both T&J and Droopy…..
The movie ended in true T&J fashion with Tom trying to get Jerry in a mouse trap but Jerry (as always) gets the last laugh when Toms tail winds up in the trap…
In closing, this is a cute movie for a new generation of kids. I highly recommend this movie for parents and their kids who want to watch something on a nice family Saturday evening. But for you college kids out there who like drinking a beer and watching the classic skits…..For get it….Try the Simpsons instead and remember that the Tom & Jerry Movie is a kids flick…And a darned good one….

I just don’t get why everyone hates this movie. I mean in my opinion, it rocks. It brings me back to when I was a 7 year old boy (Now I’m 10) as I would enjoy watching it in my basement. And if you think that it’s bad, you don’t deserve to be allowed to watch it anyway, you dumbass.

I expected this to be a movie with lots of chases (it has 1)Tom & Jerry make friends during the movie and can all of a sudden talk. This is not at all like Tom & Jerry. I did not expect this to be like this. It was a major dissapointment for me. If I were you I would skip this one.
