The legal definition of torture has been much aired in recent years, and I take Mamma Mia! to be a useful contribution to that debate.

A lot of fun.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

The movie's spirit is somewhere between High School Musical and Hedwig and the Angry Inch; it's at once dorkily wholesome and proudly slutty.
