Continuity mistake: During the song "Lay All Your Love on Me" on the beach, when Sophie lies back and then Sky is on top of her, in this closeup we see Sophie's wearing something else over her swimsuit. It's visible below her waist and as she lifts her right leg. (00:45:00)

Trivia: While neither the stage show nor the film reveals who Sophie's real father is, there is an official answer. According to Catherine Johnson and Phyllida Lloyd, Sophie's real father is Bill. Bill's character was Australian in the original stage production, but in the film he became a Swede instead, and he's played by Swedish actor Stellan SkarsgÄrd. This means the film's Sophie has her roots in Sweden - just like "Mamma Mia!"

Answer: Sophie finds Donna's diary from 1979, being the year Sophie was conceived meaning she was born in 1980 (as the diary entries are from July/August). So the movie is set in 2000.
