Just saw this film today.A good film more slick than the first, but for me It didn’t have the feel good factor of the first film. I was disappointed that Meryl Streep had such a small part , however, the old cast were good especially Julie Walters who is naturally funny. Lilly was very good and believable. but Cher– please what a disaster. She looked like a plastic painted doll and moved as if she was wearing incontinence pads. Whereas Meryl Streep is growing old gracefully and so is a much more beautiful woman.There was no need whatsoever for Cher to be in the film it ruined it. Also if anyone saw the first film what inconsistency in bringing Cher in.In the first film it was implied that Donna had been thrown out and also had a religious catholic upbringing and becoming pregnant whilst not married was considered a slut, Well Cher was the very antithesis of this image. It was an emotive film because of the death of Donna and at the end when her daughter saw her at the christening of her own daughter brought tears to my eyes.
