I loved the play. 30 million people seen it and it made 2 billion dollars. The British cinemas introducing now singalong versions, so it is getting to be like the Rocky Horror Picture Show....

It's weird, I'm no Abba fan but my gf dragged me to see it and I thought it was fun. I normally hate musicals but the cast were having a laugh with it and I went along for daft ride.
It's a much better film than most of the crap I've seen at the cinema.

So a kid wizzard is OK, a bunch of gnomes and other creatures are OK but having fun singing is not? American Idol started in England...

10 million Brits politely disagree with you...

Also don't get forced to go to movies what you most likely won't like...
