"Nothing stops the Abba tunes from their relentless march into your ear canals ... But "When I Kissed the Teacher"and "Kisses of Fire" typify the kind of Abba songs no one needs to hear again ... And finally it comes, in the ab-fab person of Cher ... - who at 72 is only three years older than her movie daughter - brings out every ounce of sass in the line. With the singer/icon on screen, the audience enters kitsch nirvana. She imbues the essence of Cher into "Fernando," making the Abba song soar and flirting outrageously in a duet with a moonstruck Andy Garcia ... The last part of the movie, which brings the whole cast together on "Super Trouper," is almost worth the price of admission ... For the rest of us, who can't get with the program, Here We Go Again will go down as more of a threat than a promise".

"So let me get this straight. You want to make a sequel to a very popular movie (based on an even more popular musical) whose best asset was Meryl Streep ... And you're going to make that film - "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" - with every other member of the movie's original cast, except for her but including poor Pierce Brosnan, whose singing, as a lovelorn widower, remains a dare to file a noise complaint. And you're going to keep the musical's Abba-centric conceit - only you used up all the great Abba songs the first time. So now you've got to lean on second- and third-tier stuff like "My Love, My Life," "I've Been Waiting for You" and "Kisses of Fire." And because you suspect some of us might, not unreasonably, prefer numbers set to "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo," and because you're running embarrassingly low on credible options, you recycle those songs, but with as little movie-musical imagination as you can get away with ... But most of the movie's 18 numbers just kindofsit there. You don't feel much ... Passionate amateurism. But that's some of what made the first movie such a kick. Nobody was Barbra Streisand".
