Movie Review: Dance along to ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’

Posted In: Love, Movies

By Haley Lerner

In this entertaining comedy, which releases in theaters on July 20, 2018, 10 years after the events of Mamma Mia!, Sophie (played by Amanda Seyfried) is pregnant with her fiancé Sky’s child on the Greek island of Kalokairi while running her mother’s villa. But, Sophie is unsure she can do it all by herself, so she enlists the guidance of her mother Donna’s friends and former bandmates, Tanya and Rosie (played by Christine Baranski and Julie Walters, respectively). Throughout the movie, Sophie learns more about Donna (played by Meryl Streep, with Lily James as Young Donna) and how she met each one of Sophie’s dads (Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård and Colin Firth) and raised her daughter bravely on her own, without a mother’s guidance. Of course, things are turned upside down by a surprise visit by Sophie’s grandmother, Ruby Sheridan (played by Cher).

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is all about the love between family and the true connection of a mother’s bond with her daughter. Keep reading for our movie review and some tips on how to manage the stress of a first pregnancy:

Catch Love, Simon in theaters on March 16th!

By Karley Kemble

Love, Simon is a charmingly modern coming-of-age movie that tells a story about a teen struggling with his sexuality. Simon Spier (played by Nick Robinson) claims to live a “normal” life, and has a strong relationship with his family, great friends, and thriving academic life. But, the big secret he has yet to tell anyone is that he’s gay. Simon so desperately desires to experience romantic love, but finds that his inability to come out of the closet is holding him back. Once he begins to correspond with an anonymous peer who is presumably gay through email, Simon begins to find full, true happiness: maybe even love! Will Simon embrace his identity? Is he actually finding comfort in a catfish, or is this person the real deal?

This movie is a very heartwarming, and puts a modern twist on classic coming-of-age films. It also teaches us about relationships. Check out our movie review:
