Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Small, playful talk about minor love affairs/jealousy: "I've had a few love affairs/they didn't last very long" and "And I'm possessive/it isn't nice."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Some minor sexual innuendo: "Honey, honey how he thrills me/he's a love machine/oh, he makes me dizzy.../honey, honey, let me feel it," "I can see what you want/but you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun," "You're a teaser/you turn 'em on/leave 'em burning and then you're gone" and "Gimme gimme gimmea man after midnight."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Promoting the release of the movie Mamma Mia!.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    One mention about smoking as an only vice.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Mamma Mia! Soundtrack

Parents need to know that this movie soundtrack is adapted from the hit Broadway musical which features the songs of ABBA that were in the play and on their albums. There's some minor sexual innuendo and playful talk, but nothing remotely threatening. It's all about the music, and it's fun for the whole family.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the fact that such big actors are starring in this film adaptation of the hugely successful Broadway musical. Do you think it is fair to use such popular stars for the sake of generating audience revenue, or should studios also consider the theater actors who made the Broadway play so successful? Would you be more likely to see a movie if it features big-name celebrities?
