I’d love the full quote please for young Rosie when she says “I want to marry him, have his babies….
This was the worse part 2 of a movie I have ever seen. It bounced from reality to the past so much it was ridiculous. The movie didn’t even cover the death of Donna and how Sophie came back to the Island. You just kill her off with no explanation of how she died. The cast for the younger people were ok except Rose and young Donna … they were terrible. What we expected to see is Donna sick and Sophie coming back. Then she dies and Sophie takes over, more of Sophie’s baby being born and growing up just like her mother did with the exception of Sky being there. Just TERRIBLE PART 2.
Rating: 0/5
“All men are pigs.” The guy agrees with her.” She leaves 1 minute later she is back. “But… I like pigs”. On the boat. My personal favorite.
What did Harry say before his Waterloo song?
‘When you know you know. When you fall you fall. …..?’
Thanks!!
I think this is the quote you’re referring to:
Young Harry: When you know, you know. When you fall, you fall. And when you’ve been defeated by love, you’re utterly defeated.
Thanks for this great website, and the super responses – but I’m amazed that no one has mentioned the gentle dig at fathers like me. It was something like this: “Being a mother is never easy – otherwise father’s would do it!” Please can anyone recall the precise quotation? Thanks
The new Mamma Mia 2 movie was astonishing. *Spoiler alert*. Although Donna Sheridan’s (Meryl Streep) unexpected death was heartbreaking it made for an amazing plot. They would not have been able to produce such a great movie if that hadn’t happened. It made you cry, laugh and sing along to the great music in this film.
Though there are a lot of plot holes in the movie. I have done the math and things don’t add up. Donna graduated from Oxford in 1979 and got pregnant that same summer. Meaning her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) was born in 1980. The first movie is about Sophie, now twenty years old, getting married and trying to find out who her real father is. If she is twenty that means the year in the first movie is 2000. In the song Dancing Queen, it hints Donna was seventeen when she got pregnant, just a side note. The first movie came out in 2008 and the second in 2018, but the movie was set in 2005. I know this because when Donna’s mother (Cher) said that she was ready to be a grandmother, Sophie told her that she was twenty-five years late. and if she was twenty in 2000 that means that means shes twenty-five in 2005. Then explain to me why they are using iPhones and computers. Looking around the movie theater, I seemed to be the only one completely confused about this.
I’m not even going to start on freaking Cher playing Meryl Streep’s mother. It’s not that shes only three years older than her, but she looks young enough to be Meryl’s granddaughter lets be honest. She can’t even move her mouth that much when she is singing because of all of the surgery shes had, lol. I think I’m the only one that cares about all of that though. Anyway, despite all of the plot holes, I thought it was a great movie. All of the actors playing each other looked really alike and I was very impressed. It was funny and also made me cry… a lot. Like when dead Donna is singing in spirit as Sophie walks with her newborn child, I was bawling my eyes out. I would definitely recommend going to see this movie.
Rating: 4/5

Ruby: “nice to meet you, I heard nothing about you”
Sorry that was Tanya.
I absolutely loved everything about it – from beginning to end!! I could watch it over and over and over again.!! I certainly hope there is a sequel!!
Young Donna: I think we should make a choice, to do something wonderful. To live in this extraordinary place with someone, someone miraculous. I told you, you’d think it was crazy.
Young Sam: I don’t think it is crazy.
Be still my beating vagina! haha

Holding a grudge makes you fat. – Cher
Come on! Rosie ? (Christina Barinsky) delivered the best line. Something like , “wash him and bring him to my tent”!
It was actually Tanya and the quote is “Have him washed and brought to my tent.”
“It’s called karma and it’s pronounced HA.”
Rosie: Carbs are my soul mate.
This was such an AMAZING movie! I LOVED IT!!!
