For the life of me I can't understand why people love this movie. I thought it was just awful and so depressing. I can't believe anyone thought this would make a good story. It has not a single likable character except for Muriel's best friend, Rhonda. Depressing family life, hateful, shallow friends, pitiful mother, obnoxious father, it's just awful. I was expecting a light-hearted comedy and lots of laughs. It's mostly dark and depressing with only one or two scenes that really made me laugh. I can't remember the last time I've been this disappointed in a movie. I'll give it this: The acting is good and the ABBA music is lots of fun. Just don't go into it expecting a comedy or you'll be sorely disappointed.
