Mamma Mia!

Continuity mistake: During Does Your Mother Know one of the girls in the background has red sunglasses which she wears in one shot and doesn't in the next - it keeps changing.

Continuity mistake: When Lay All Your Love on Me starts, right before Sophie's first singing lines, she has some hair in front of her face. But, when it switches to a shot in front of her as she continues to sing, she immediately has no hair in front of her face. She didn't have the time to move it out of the way in-between shots.

Continuity mistake: During the song "The winner takes it all" at one point 4 people are walking up the mountain in the background, 2 in white and 2 in mint green. The next shot they are gone.

Continuity mistake: Just as Donna starts singing the last of 'Slipping Through My Fingers' Sophie is put on a donkey to be taken up to the hall for her wedding. Donna and Sam are left alone and Donna sings "The Winner Takes it All' but when she gets up to the hall the donkey is nowhere to be seen.

Other mistake: When Sophie swims to the boat with her three possible fathers on it, when she takes off her clothes to reveal her swimsuit, she takes a very short time to take them off, too fast for them to actually be off.

Sophie: I don't care if you've slept with hundreds of men!
Donna: I haven't slept with HUNDREDS of men!

Trivia: Abba's Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus have cameos. One is seen during 'Dancing Queen', playing piano near a boat, and the other is seen near the end of the 'Waterloo' sequence, which plays over the credits. (00:38:00)

More trivia for Mamma Mia!

Question: So did they really get married to play 'happy families'? Because when Sophie says 'I don't know which is my dad and I don't care, Sky let's not get married' it sounds a bit like they are playing 'happy families'.

Chosen answer: Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan got married because they loved each other and had done for many years. The daughter changed her mind about getting married because she realised what really mattered to her and that seeing the world while they were young and free wasn't such a bad idea after all, that she didn't need to get married and hang around for her mother's sake.
