Mamma Mia!/Trivia


 * Awesome, Dear Boy: Pierce Brosnan summed up his reason for doing the film as this: "Meryl Streep is starring."
 * Non-Singing Voice: Averted. No voice doubles were cast. Whether this was a good idea (in particular concerning Pierce Brosnan) is something people have argued about.
 * Playing Against Type: Streep. Yes, the same Streep who starred in Sophie's Choice. Then again, one could argue that she doesn't really have a type at this point.
 * Star-Making Role: Between this and Mean Girls, Amanda Seyfried almost immediately became one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses, as she made an excellent showing in two very different movies, playing two very different roles.
 * Throw It In: Donna's famous straddle split jump during "Dancing Queen" came about because Meryl Streep decided she wanted to see if she could do it, and it was caught on tape. When she was asked to try it again, she said there was no way she'd ever be able to replicate it.
