Mystifying. Utterly mystifying. Mamma Mia is simply unadulterated crap.
Mind you, I often seem to find myself at odds with the received wisdom. On which note, I was looking forward to seeing the adaptation of Amanda Foreman's wonderful biography of Georgiana until I discovcered that the title role is being played by the awful Keira Knightley, whose very name depresses me.
BTW, apologies for the rather frothy posts today. I'm on the penultimate day of the final chapter of my new book, so my focus is elsewhere!
