#mamma mia
lesser movies than mamma mia (2008) would’ve made the central conflict be between the three dads and stoked endless competition and jealousy between them, fighting about who gets to be sophie’s “real dad” and who has (and had) a “right” to pursue donna but mamma mia is no such movie. mamma mia is a cinematic masterpiece and as such they are pals throughout, happily go along with all the shenanigans and spend loads of quality time together throughout the film. they are just vibing! and then all three of them become the dads no questions asked. no drama! only vibing in greece
Whenever someone asks Elrond about his parentage, Mamma Mia just starts playing faintly in the background
Jane Austen doesn’t give us much about good moms, but here are some other fictional moms I love that show us that there’s not just one way to be a great mom.
Snow White
Biological moms can be great moms.
Regina Mills
Adoptive moms can be great moms.
Emma Swan
You can become a great mom even if you didn’t originally want to be a mom.
Donna Sheridan
Single moms can be great moms.
Amy Santiago
Working moms can be great moms.
Leslie Knope
You can be a great mom in your found family even if you didn’t birth or raise someone. We don’t get to see much of Leslie being a mom to her actual kids, but we see how she acts as a loving mother figure to April.
So on a scale of ‘zero’ to ‘all the moms in the movie theatre after pierce brosnan’s “piercing blue eyes” quip in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’, how funny would you say this-

Who did it best Clark or Titanic
Or Mamma Mia?
