With huge musical opening, the younger version of Tanya (Jessica Keenan Wynn), Donna (Lily James) and Rosie (Alexa Davies) set off on life\u2019s big adventure in \u2018Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Skepticism that another installment to the beloved original, Mamma Mia!<\/em> (2008), would hit any of the magic the first one did would be a rational thought. Thankfully, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!<\/em> razzles, dazzles, and delights as much as the first one while incorporating more substantial pathos and nostalgia. As a sequel set five years after the original, the new film deals with Sophie preparing for her mother Donna\u2019s island paradise hotel\u2019s grand reopening, a bittersweet event because it coincides with the first anniversary of Donna\u2019s death. The film, however, opens in prequel mode with Donna\u2019s college graduation and intercuts these backstory revelations with Sophie\u2019s story. Thanks to masterful editing and exceptionally astute casting of younger versions of the stars who played pivotal roles, the stories of Donna\u2019s youth and Sophie\u2019s current struggles sail seamlessly beside each other for a fabulous cruise down memory lane and learning from the past.<\/p>\n

\"Tanya<\/a>
Tanya (Christine Baranski), Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), Donna\u2019s beloved daughter, and Rosie (Julie Walters) perform together in memory of Donna in \u2018Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Young Donna (Lily James) dreams of adventure after college, and despite the pleas of best friends Tanya (Jessica Keenan Wynn) and Rosie (Alexa Davies), Donna heads out into the wide world looking for something that will give her thrill and meaning she seeks. While roaming Europe, Donna has romantic adventures with the younger versions of Sophie\u2019s three fathers, Sam (Jeremy Irvine), Bill (Josh Dylan), and Harry (Hugh Skinner) and, more importantly, falls in love with an island. Meanwhile, in present day, Sophie plans the grand reopening of the hotel with Sam (Pierce Brosnan), her only dad who can make it, and awaits the arrival of her mother\u2019s best friends, Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie (Julie Walters). Sophie also has a relationship-ending argument with her beau, Sky (Dominic Cooper). Will Sophie\u2019s real father be revealed? Will dads Bill (Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd) and Harry (Colin Firth) show up? What role does Cher play?<\/p>\n

Slick editing creates beautiful parallels between past and present without any confusion between the storylines, and the editing\u2019s subliminal message of haunting generational connections and the presence of those gone but still part of our lives provides a strong foundation for this musical. Abba\u2019s feminist pop rock again plays an integral part in the film, and some are reprised from the first film with the new cast and\/or new meanings; however, empowerment of women remains the central musical message. Between the heartfelt message and toe-tapping music, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!<\/em> could be the summer\u2019s fan favorite for female audiences because the characters represent the kind of superheroes women love — ones that could really exist and get to live the freedom and lives women dream for themselves. Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!<\/em> is rated PG-13 for some suggestive material and run an exuberant, fast-paced 114 minutes. A Universal Pictures release, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!<\/em> is theaters now and waiting to delight and uplift the audience!<\/p>\n
