In 1979 young Donna, Tanya and Rosie graduate from Oxford University -- leaving Donna free to embark on a series of adventures throughout Europe. On her journeys, she makes the acquaintances of Harry, Bill and Sam -- the latter whom she falls in love with, but he's also the man who breaks her heart. In the present day, Donna's pregnant daughter, Sophie, dreams of renovating a taverna while reuniting with her mother's old friends and boyfriends on the Greek island of Kalokairi.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again doubles down on just about everything fans loved about the original -- and my my, how can fans resist it?

If you are expecting that all glittery, spandex-wearing cast number you will not be disappointed with copious amounts of laughter bringing you to tears. |

Avella | Edge Media Network | Fresh | A- | 2020-04-26T21:00:22.000Z | 2020-04-26 21:00:22 | {The film} serves fans what they want and expect, but also ratchets things up a notch and, consequently, casts a spell all its own. And those end credits are worth the price of admission alone! |

| 242119 | Jeff York | Creative Screenwriting | Rotten | — | 2019-10-17T21:42:10.000Z | 2019-10-17 21:42:10 | Sequels generally are diminishing in returns, but this one seems like such a shadow of the first. Waiting 10 years did it no favors. Most of it feels old, tired, and very "been there, done that." |
| 242120 | Linda and Al Lerner | Movies and Shakers | Fresh | — | 2019-08-13T21:31:08.000Z | 2019-08-13 21:31:08 | Whether you're an ABBA fan or not, this is a swirl of fluffy cotton candy that's sometimes a little too sweet, but hard to resist. |

I would advise the others to spend their time watching another movie. [Full Review in Spanish] |

| 242130 | Jason Best | Movie Talk | Fresh | 3/5 | 2019-04-27T11:35:16.000Z | 2019-04-27 11:35:16 | Only one thing could make the film even more sparkly, camp and cheesily enjoyable. And, sure enough, Cher turns up as Sophie's glam grandmother Ruby in time for the glittering finale. |

| 242135 | Sameen Amer | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2019-03-21T20:20:08.000Z | 2019-03-21 20:20:08 | Even when it seems devoid of artistic merit or frantically, ineffectively searching for a reason to exist, you're having too much fun singing along... to complain about the film's shortcomings (which, if you stop to think about it, are many). |
| 242136 | Rachel Wagner | rachelsreviews.net | Fresh | 7/10 | 2019-02-25T23:56:28.000Z | 2019-02-25 23:56:28 | A little more Meryl would have been nice but that's the only problem I had with it. |

| 242138 | Allen Adams | The Maine Edge | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-02-06T19:05:06.000Z | 2019-02-06 19:05:06 | Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again stays largely true to the unabashedly dorky spirit of its predecessor, packed with impromptu musical numbers and hammy scenery chewing and the inarguably outstanding music of ABBA. |
| 242139 | Ani Bundel | NBC News THINK | Fresh | — | 2019-01-31T22:26:40.000Z | 2019-01-31 22:26:40 | This sort of complete escapism is just what the doctor ordered, and everyone involved knows just how important it is. |

In times such as these, we need films like Mamma Mia... |

(Is that too mean? Let's change it to "Super Trouper"). Cher and Andy Garcia are perfection. |

| 242176 | Lisa Johnson Mandell | AtHomeInHollywood.com | Fresh | — | 2018-08-21T18:55:51.000Z | 2018-08-21 18:55:51 | This film, directed by Ol Parker known for writing the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies, is a riotous feel good, toe-tapping wonder. You leave the theater uplifted, smiling and wanting to dance. |
| 242177 | Jazz Tangcay | Awards Daily | Fresh | — | 2018-08-20T23:11:15.000Z | 2018-08-20 23:11:15 | Let your hair down, pull those dungarees on, and get ready to sing Abba songs all summer. Because Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is the sweetest delight. |

| 242180 | Diana Su | Cine Premiere | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-08-18T17:20:13.000Z | 2018-08-18 17:20:13 | The joy that Lily James emotes onscreen is enough to keep you hooked. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 242181 | James Mottram | South China Morning Post | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-08-18T17:10:13.000Z | 2018-08-18 17:10:13 | A prequel-sequel that won't win any converts but will please fans of the first film. |
| 242183 | David Ocadiz | Cinergética | Fresh | — | 2018-08-17T16:27:25.000Z | 2018-08-17 16:27:25 | And if the original tape was good like the ABBA Gold ... Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is just as good but as if it were in a certain way the collection of sides B. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 242182 | Erick Estrada | Cinegarage | Rotten | — | 2018-08-17T16:27:25.000Z | 2018-08-17 16:27:25 | I don't think the movie will draw in new Abba fans, but the film tells us a story that was alluded to in the first film leaving us with a feeling that this story did not need to be told. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 242184 | Gerald Peary | Arts Fuse | Rotten | — | 2018-08-17T15:02:00.000Z | 2018-08-17 15:02:00 | As for our waiting forever for the appearance of Cher, who is given the most delayed entrance since that of Moliere's Tartuffe: I don't get her aura as a show-biz icon. |
| 242185 | Roxana Hadadi | Pajiba | Fresh | — | 2018-08-17T15:00:27.000Z | 2018-08-17 15:00:27 | Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again never pretends to be anything but what it is, which is goofy, campy, and irresistible. |
| 242186 | Mary Ann Brussat | Spirituality & Practice | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-08-09T14:01:58.000Z | 2018-08-09 14:01:58 | Prequel and sequel to the musical and movie propelled by the jubilant music of Abba. |
| 242187 | Jeanmarie Tan | The New Paper (Singapore) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-08-08T18:50:46.000Z | 2018-08-08 18:50:46 | Sorry Amanda Seyfried, but James is the real star of the show, lighting up the screen with her infectious charm. |
| 242188 | John Lui | The Straits Times (Singapore) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-08-08T18:30:44.000Z | 2018-08-08 18:30:44 | Still, bringing in Cher...is par for the course for this frothy, slightly slapdash production unafraid of putting all its eccentricities on display. |
| 242189 | Brooke Corso | The Monitor (McAllen, TX) | Fresh | B | 2018-08-07T14:15:19.000Z | 2018-08-07 14:15:19 | Many of the beats are the same as in the original, only reframed through the lens of hindsight. Yet, this film is so unapologetic in its delight of the overheated ballad or disco beat that it is impossible not to understand the poignancy of the lyrics. |
| 242190 | Linda Cook | Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2018-08-07T04:55:11.000Z | 2018-08-07 04:55:11 | Utterly ridiculous and absolutely entertaining from beginning to end. |
| 242191 | Dan Webster | Spokesman-Review (Washington) | Fresh | — | 2018-08-06T21:55:57.000Z | 2018-08-06 21:55:57 | "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" isn't merely a jokey songfest. Along the way, the film offers up moments of quiet reflection as well as an occasional sense of grief. |
| 242193 | Damian Levy | Jamaica Gleaner | Fresh | — | 2018-08-06T20:55:50.000Z | 2018-08-06 20:55:50 | It works at its best when you don't think too much about it - much like the way the characters seek to live their lives. |
| 242192 | Stephen Silver | Splice Today | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-08-06T20:55:50.000Z | 2018-08-06 20:55:50 | The structure fudges the timeline a bit, but the film has such a joyful energy that it never bothered me. |
| 242194 | Neil Soans | The Times of India | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-08-03T20:51:14.000Z | 2018-08-03 20:51:14 | Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a breezy, feel-good ABBA-fuelled musical made for its fans. |
| 242195 | Rashid Irani | Hindustan Times | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2018-08-03T19:31:08.000Z | 2018-08-03 19:31:08 | The film's confused and ditzy overall. But the formula will likely be irresistible to many. |
| 242196 | Devesh Sharma | Filmfare | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-08-03T19:11:06.000Z | 2018-08-03 19:11:06 | Thanks to the young voices reprising the gems from ABBA's repertoire, the present film feels like a true-blue musical. |
| 242197 | Martha K. Baker | KDHX (St. Louis) | Fresh | — | 2018-08-01T19:20:38.000Z | 2018-08-01 19:20:38 | The music is what matters, of course and ABBA does not disappoint nor does the choreography of cartwheels through orchards. |
| 242198 | Pamela Hutchinson | Sight & Sound | Fresh | — | 2018-08-01T14:55:15.000Z | 2018-08-01 14:55:15 | Cast aside any fears that the primary goal is to sell package holidays and compilation albums, because this time at least they have put on a diverting show. |
| 242199 | Susan Granger | SSG Syndicate | Rotten | 5/10 | 2018-07-31T23:30:40.000Z | 2018-07-31 23:30:40 | Unfocused and frantic, it's really a redundant music video. |
| 242200 | Alasdair Bayman | CineVue | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-07-31T16:40:24.000Z | 2018-07-31 16:40:24 | Delivering clear big screen moments, of which will leave audiences itching to return and experience it all over again, you simply cannot deny that this eccentric mix of ABBA and cinema still holds magic. |
| 242201 | Tim Brayton | Alternate Ending | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2018-07-29T06:30:20.000Z | 2018-07-29 06:30:20 | There's more plot than "celebrity karaoke in Greece", and the songs generally support the narrative in some way rather than just providing space for the next showstopper. |
| 242202 | Stephen Romei | The Australian | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2018-07-27T21:55:47.000Z | 2018-07-27 21:55:47 | I suppose one of its themes is that we all get older. That's true enough, but I don't need to be alerted to it by the SOS of Brosnan speaking through a song and walking through a dance. |
| 242203 | Loren King | Newport This Week (RI) | Fresh | — | 2018-07-27T20:05:42.000Z | 2018-07-27 20:05:42 | For all its pop fizz, Here We Go Again has an underlying poignancy that just might break your heart. |
| 242204 | Zoe Crombie | Film Inquiry | Fresh | — | 2018-07-27T09:25:12.000Z | 2018-07-27 09:25:12 | Certainly more bittersweet than the 2008 original, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is a more authentically emotional experience than its predecessor. |
