There are some films that are just best seen in the original language. Mamma Mia is one of them. With so many famous actors, there is a certain quality that can only be perceived when you hear their voices.
Corso Theater in Vaihingen is the place to see these films. They have English language films every day. Currently playing are films like Mamma Mia and Get Smart. The Dark Knight will be opening in August, I believe.
Corso has a family feel to the business. They are responsive to customers and work hard to serve them well. I like the personal touch I get when I go there. The theater is easily accessible either by parking in the Vaihinger Markt garage, or the Schwaben Galerie garage (Vaihinger Markt is cheaper), or by train from the Vaihingen train station.
Mamma Mia is a fabulous movie, and well worth the ticket price. If you like any of the actors, or the music of Abba at all, it’s a must. Fine, one of the big stars clearly doesn’t sing as well as the others, and one of the big stars will surprise you their singing talent, but that’s for you to decide. The location is beyond belief, and makes the movie worthwhile for those of you who’ve seen the play.
When you go, please help me figure out why I couldn’t stop crying during the Dancing Queen segment. I was dumbfounded – it’s a happy song and a happy movie situation, and there were tears streaming down my cheeks for the whole song. Tears of joy, I assume.
The closing credits were kicked off with a surprise. The final surprise for me was, at the end, the entire audience (maybe 3 people excepted) stayed in their seats for the WHOLE credits. We all sat there and read every detail. Unusual, and a unique theatrical experience.
