Please change the poster of the movie, it doesn't reflect the movie for what it really is. I didn't think that I'll be watching a dramatic feel good movie. I was surprised. Brendan's and Harrison's acting is superb, the dialogs are incredible and the story... the story is a familiar one. Parents who try by extraordinary measures to save their kids' lives who suffer from a deadly illness. Sure, it's a familiar story, but this is worth watching. Engaging, fascinating and no dull moments. I didn't want the movie to end since it made me feel so good. Don't be surprised if you'll even shed a tear.

So ignore the poster and watch this movie if you like heart warming movies.

The main problems with this movie is that they didn't take advantage of the transition to the big screen and the songs are sung in a dull manner, the direction is lousy, the actors themselves are singing and not professional singers. The production values just seem low.

For example, you see Meryl Streep singing a great song on a hill with barely movement from her or the camera, it's like she's singing on a stage, but worse. There are no colorful lights here or captivating direction.

This movie is nothing like Chicago, which was professionally made. Instead we get a lousy movie that butchers ABBA.

If you want to see the songs of ABBA being sung in a boring way, go see this movie. I feel like this movie was just made to make money from ABBA fans and the musical fans, and like all movies that are made just to make money, it's bad.
