Where in Greece is the movie Mamma Mia set?

Question

have you seen it ? what did you Greeks think of it?

Answer 1

Just watched it - nice musical - especially for those of a certain age that know all the words to Abba songs!

Best musicals of all time - GREASE and Westside story

However - it has nothing to do with Greece - apart from tha backdrop - nothing Greek (wedding etc) No spoken Greek in the background by 'locals' not even an accent (apart from the first part of the film). That was a bit disappointing. Could have been filmed anywhere - even Sophie didn't fall in love with a local - barman was black ... her girlfriends were American (Irish/British) ... so bit strange to be set in Greece in my opinion!

Also Greek taxis are more likely to be Mercedes or BMW rather than Ladas/Fiats (or whatever they were at the beginning!)

Must admit Meryl and her croonies really remind me of myself and my foreign friends in Greece .... crazy!

Answer 7

that's funny....i just asked my hubby that after we saw the film a couple of hours ago....thought it was fantastic!

i thought it looked a little like Kefalonia in places...but i am sure lots of the Greek Isles look a bit like that....beautiful!!
