This post contains spoilers about Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, out July 20.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a delight. If you love movie musicals, big dance numbers, Meryl Streep (in any form), and of course, ABBA, you'll love the sequel, which arrives 10 years (almost to the date) after the first Mamma Mia movie. This time, you're invited to travel back in time to see just how young Donna (Lily James) fell in love with Sophie's three dads and more importantly, the gorgeous Greek island of Kalokairi.
Yes, there are moments of cheese and subpar vocals and the whole thing feels too damn long. (Less minor character singing, more Cher! More Meryl!) But hey, it doesn't need to be taken too seriously. That's always been the best part about the Mamma Mia world. Whether you're watching it as a hardcore ABBA/Meryl/Mamma Mia fan or ironically, or somewhere in between, there's something for everyone.
Before you check on the next cheap-ish flight to Greece, do read this list of the most ridiculous, fun, and WTF moments from Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, which will definitely leave you in a state of pure joy.
1. That whole graduation performance. In a flashback to Donna's (Lily James) college graduation ceremony, everyone leaves (to sing, dance, do stage dives into a lake) without getting their diploma. Are they all non-graduates, technically?
2. Sky (Dominic Cooper) is in New York City for six weeks to "learn the hotel business." There's something about the length of time and the thought of him learning an entire business in said length of time that rubs the wrong way. Though, all he did in the first movie was make a website for the hotel (LOL) so this makes sense.
3. Donna died "a year ago" but it's never explained how she died. On top of it all, her death is revealed during a weird fight between Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and Sky on the phone.
4. The sight of Sky in a white muscle tank. Sorry, he can't pull it off.
5. "Be still my bidding vagina." And later, "Have him washed and brought to my tent." Both of these fabulous lines are delivered by Tanya (Christine Baranski) the moment she sees Fernando (Andy Garcia).
6. The entire "Waterloo" sequence. Which includes a baguette sword fight between young Harry (Hugh Skinner) and young Donna.
7. Pierce Brosnan's singing. Like the first movie, nothing has changed. Sorry, Pierce.

8. "You have one of those smiles that make the rest of the world smile too." Young Bill (Josh Dylan) says this to young Donna while on his boat. It's cheesy, but it sticks.
9. The "storm" that nearly destroys everything (in present day and in the past) is just a thunder shower. Come on, folks. Aren't you supposed to be familiar with this Greek island weather by now?
10. Young Donna does cartwheels in a field where pollen is everywhere. She also climbs an orange tree and is chased by a goat. And all this happens after young Sam (Jeremy Irvine) says their boning was "miraculous."
11. Like old Sam, young Sam is a bad singer. He enunciates so much. Also, too much teeth.
12. At one point, old Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) appears in a fat suit. It's his brother, who shows up in his place to accept an award so the real Bill can go to Greece.
13. "I can't sing about love when I can't feel it." Young Donna says this at the local bar on Kalokairi, right before performing "Mamma Mia."
14. The performance ends with young Donna in the arms of young Bill. He's so hot it doesn't make any sense. Quick, close your eyes so you can see him glistening in the sun again.
15. Young Donna is given the abandoned building (now the hotel) by the same woman who owns the bar. This happens after what feels like three days. Must be nice to not worry about stuff like visas and angry parents.

16. Everything about Tanya and Rosie's (Julie Walters) blue caftans. *Orders at least three blue caftans with overnight delivery*
17. The spa at the new hotel is called The Olive Press. That is all.
18. "I just want to be upfront and say I visually enjoy you." What young Tanya (Jessica Keenan Wynn) says to young Sam upon meeting him on the island.
19. Old Harry (Colin Firth) and old Bill arrive to the island by boat like Kate and Leo from Titanic, along with everyone else from town. This is by far the most spectacular musical number from the film. The song of choice is "Dancing Queen" and the whole thing ends with Sophie and every human being on the island meeting up with the boats.
20. Colin Firth's dancing during the "Dancing Queen" sequence. We're not worthy.

21. "Mes enfants. Je suis arrive." These are Cher's first lines in the film.
22. Everything about Cher's arrival as Sophie's grandmother. Including her head-to-toe silver look.
23. "Being a grudge holder makes you fat." Cher has, hands down, the best lines in the film.
24. The full name of Andy Garcia's character. Fernando Cienfuegos, which served as a major hint to his big musical number (see next entry).
25. Cher and Andy Garcia's "Fernando" duet. Who else called this relationship early on in the film, when Fernando said his lover broke his heart into "a million little pieces"?
26. Cher and Andy Garcia's big kissing scene. This gave way to both a fireworks display and the line, "She has turned my frown upside down."
27. Jonathan Goldsmith, aka the (former) Most Interesting Man in the World, has a cameo. He's Fernando's brother, and he's single FYI.
28. The ghost of Donna appears during a singing montage to "My Love, My Life." Just try not to tear up while thinking about the pairing of Sophie's baby's baptism and the flashback to her own baptism. Love that her ghost also wears denim overalls.
29. The end credits, duh. Just like the first film, there's a group performance. This time, Cher and Meryl lead the way, along with the young versions of the main cast. Good luck trying to get "Super Trouper" out of your head.
