Musical film Mama Mia gets reviewed–on a skewer–at World Hum. Of plot, character development, acting, singing, dancing and scenery, the latter came off best. Why not? Greek Islands can never be bad.
Eva Holland and Eli Ellison refer to the setting as “travel porn.” Skopelos and Skiathos, the islands shown in the movie lie north northeast of Athens in the Sporades group of islands. (Picture from Flickr, licensed by Creative Commons)
