Back, at the beginning of the month (June 1, 2008 – to be exact), I blogged about the new website promoting “what I suspect will be one of my fav movies of all time”. I just wanted to to take a few seconds out of my already hectic schedule to update the web-gem-i-ness of this site.
I originally stated that the U.K. site is much better than the U.S. site (which is still true), and that the U.S. site “was average at best and, while it boasted a trailer and the customary photos, it was lacking substance and umph” (which is no longer true). It seems that, the closer we get to the movie’s premier, the more fabulousness is appearing on both the U.S. and U.K. sites.
The U.S. site has undergone a whole new transformation and even boasts a similar flash interface to its U.K. counter part. But, while the U.K. site is still top notch, the U.S.’s site looks genius but is filled with mostly redundancy and is not as interactive as the U.K. version (which places Easter eggs on EVERY page). But, a trip to the U.S. site is recommended because it boasts new music from the film and some groovy downloads that are not available at the U.K. site (and vice versa). One of my favorite things about the site is the quiz (we all know how much I LOVE quizzes) which can be found in the “Villa Donna” section of the site (you’ll figure it out). This one has no prize involved, but you get to determine just how well you would handle a “Dilemma Mia!”
As for me, I scored “Dancing Queen” status…which, I am sure, comes as no shock to anyone who has ever had the utter pleasure of being lucky enough to have ever brushed passed me in a busy corridor (ummm…sounds more like a “Drama Queen”…well, that too). But, wait…
The U.K. site also boasts a new, and fun, quiz, which tells you if you and your “LUV-AHH” are a “perfect match”. Look for it in the “Beach” section of the site cleverly disguised as a champagne bottle chilling in a bucket. (Also be sure to click the moon on this page, which takes you to a cool feature that allows you to make a wish upon the stars.) I took the test on behalf of myself and my partner, Greg. Here was our score, based on my answers…
…we are the perfect couple! All I can say to that is…DUH!
Anyways, pop on over to both the U.S. site and the U.K. site (which is also shared by the totally groovy people down under) and see what all the buzz is about!
Cheers!

In much anticipation of the Broadway Musical‘s journey to the big screen, I ventured off to the Mama Mia the Movie website to get a sneak peek at what I suspect will be one of my fav movies of all time. Upon entering www.mamamiamovie.com, guests are asked to select which country they are from so that they can be taken to the appropriate site. But, before you select your country of origin, be sure to scroll down toward the bottom of the site where you can take a quick sneak peak at the “Making of Featurette”, send a groovy Mama Mia e-card where YOU are the star, or join the Mama Mia fan club. After you take part in these sensational tidbits, choose your country of origin and have fun!
I found that the U.S. site was average at best and, while it boasted a trailer and the customary photos, it was lacking substance and umph. So, I ventured on over to the U.K. site and found that they were giving the Brits. all the juicy details all wrapped up in one fabulous flash site. The site allows visitors to tour the Greek island where the movie is set on and meet cast and characters and get interactive.
If you have not had a chance to check out the U.K. site, please do so as it is definitely worth it and makes the U.S. site look amateur at best. And, if you venture to the “Jetty” section of the site, be sure to take the Mama Mia Ultimate Fan Quiz by clicking on the guitar. It is 21 questions of pure Mama Mia trivia. If you are a die-hard fan, you’ll be sure to pass with flying colors. But, to pass the quiz, you will need to know everything about the movie and its production, as well as the stage play and the group which inspired the musical, ABBA. If you pass the quiz, you are then invited to submit your e-mail for a contest where winners will receive Mama Mia prize packs.
I, of course, passed th quiz with flying colors scoring a perfect 21. Finally, this proves just how much of an ABBA and Mama Mia fan I am. So, I am crossing my fingers that I will win one of those fabulous prize packs!!!! That would rock! Note to universe: please, let me win one of those prize packs!
Anyways, if you think you have the chops to take the Ultimate Quiz, give it a try and see what happens!
Cheers!
