Amanda Seyfried @ "Mamma Mia" Premire in NYC

Movie review: 'Mamma Mia!' a musical vacation
The literalizing tendency of movies makes for more than a couple of awkward passages in "Mamma Mia!," the screen adaptation of the hit musical. There are moments that feel odd and insincere in close-up that would have played festive from 40 feet away. But then, each time, the song continues, the chorus joins in and most of the time the problem stops mattering.

The point is, "Mamma Mia!" is fun, the music's terrific and the cast is appealing. There's a Greek Island, a pretty girl, Streep singing and being funny, an amusing situation and two renditions of "Dancing Queen." What's not to like?

Well, I'll tell you what's not to like: little things, just a few. Things you might not notice in a theater. SF Gate

You should probably never, ever stand next to an air brushed photo of yourself.

She's a prime example of why I generally don't like blondes...either tan or go brunette.

A pasty white girl should not wear clown red lipstick and a black dress because it just makes her look more pasty...

She's a really cute girl and i love her eyes, but i bet if she went brunnette she'd be stunning. The pale blonde washes her out a bit.

I think the people who did the photoshopping were trying to tell her to darken her hair and/or get a tan.

I think she's been something special ever since I first saw her in early Veronica Mars episodes. (R.I.P. decent TV shows such as VM) She looked great in Mean Girls, a legitimately funny movie, despite Lohan being the lead. However, I think there might be more to her than just her looks, and that we'll see more of her in better movies.

When she smiles she looks a little mentally handicapped.

Aging horribly?! Is she even 20? Overall pretty. But yes her face is so round and she has bug eyes. So not a perfectly refined beauty.

It's true though, most women look better brunette. (Madonna included.) Brunette hair always looks sleeker too. I thought Angelina Jolie was far more stunning and elegant before the honey brown phase that all famous brunettes seem to adopt when they make it. Think J. Lo.
