SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:18 Min.
With brief help from co-star Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan covers this ABBA tune for Mamma Mia!’s 2008 soundtrack.
REVIEW:
Without advance knowledge, one might not guess they’re hearing Pierce Brosnan’s vocals. Suffice to say, singing isn’t Brosnan’s forte. While the ballad’s genial melody makes up some of the difference, Brosnan isn’t able to convey the self-reflective lyrics, as well as they should have been. Although Meryl Streep is credited, she is only briefly heard. The former James Bond does get some support from the back-up singers, but it’s just not enough. Unsurprisingly, this one is the soundtrack’s worst tune.
BRIAN’S OOD MOON RATING: 4 Stars
Note: Streep & Brosnan’s other Mamma Mia! duet: “S.O.S.” is preferable, as Streep is more involved.
