[goldie]

I never knew it even existed! But now I really want it! ABBA rules!!!

[JazmenFlowers]

ABBA, the movie is pretty good. Lots of backstage stuff and cool performances that are pretty rare...like Tiger and Money Money Money

I think it's relatively easy to get now since it was re-released.

[JazmenFlowers]

I'd say 78ish.

[DavidMn]

I'd say 78ish.Oh ok. Thank you. I'm sure it's very good.:)

[tynan88]

I think it was made during their Australian tour, not exactly sure...before my time :laugh:

Over here ABBA have always had a huge base of both die-hard and general casual fans so we always have ABBA stuff released here with reasonable fan-fare.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

It was released in 1977. I was 7 and really into Abba! It's a bit cheesy now but a must for all fans!

And yes... it was during the Australian tour

[DavidMn]

Is it nominated in this years category? that seems strage since it was released almost 30 years ago.

I've been an ABBA fan for like 5 years waiting for this re-release. They were talking about it when I first got into them so when I saw it in Wal-Mart and shrieked and impulsively bought it. It was pretty funny. Especially the reporter's fantasy with Angetha and Frida treading a fine line (*sings* "Two girls for every boy"....or if you're a real ABBA fan..."If you dream of the girl for you, call us and get two for the price of one")

I went to the Wherehouse record shop today and it wasn't there .I have a tape of ABBA the movie from VH1 which was showing it a few years back.I also have a DVD called ABBA in concert chronicling their fall 1979 tour which I actually saw at the San Diego Sports Arena that September .Oddly to this day I consider it one of the best concerts I have ever been to in my life and remember it like it was yesterday.

I like the part where they compare bums...

And everyone knows Agnetha had the finest bum.

Indeed she was the J-Lo of the Continent with a much, much better singing voice.

[Richard B]

For sure.

And it should be noted that ABBA: The Movie was directed by Lasse Hallström, who also did their promo videos. Nice to see what he ended up doing with his talent.

[dissention]

For sure.

Have you seen Casanova, Richard? I saw it Friday and think it's one of his best; great script and an even better cast. Anything with Lena Olin is worth a look, anyway, and Sienna Miller & Heath Ledger are adorable in it. It's total fluff, but it's great fluff. I can't wait until it comes out DVD so I can make a Sunday afternoon of it and Chocolat. Still scratching my head over the R rating, though.

I am drooling to see it. I've heard good things, Diss, good things. Coming from you, I'm even more excited. I know we both have a thing for Lena Olin, so that's a given. How's Jeremy Irons in it?

I've heard the controversy about the R rating. Something about a suggestive "under the table" scene. It's probably appropriate for 5 year olds. The MPAA has gotten very conservative in their ratings in recent years.

Jeremy Irons is a hoot. You can tell he's having a ball. There's one scene between him and Oliver Platt that'll have you in stitches.

It was so mildly suggestive that it shouldn't have gotten anything more than a PG. It's just one big cream puff of a movie; completely harmless and fun. **** like Hostel and The Devil's Rejects, two of the sickest flicks I've ever seen, get R ratings and so does Casanova? It boggles the mind.
