I can't wait to see Mamma Mia. With the economy in the toilet I need a good escape. "HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD"

Big error on your part. Vanessa Redgrave could NOT sing. There is not more than about 10 seconds of any song in the movie CAMELOR that is from the same take. In many instances, they actually used only one syllable of a song to make it listenable. You Texans need to do more research before making judgements about art.
