(12,132 posts)Nothing at all wrong with that. Well choreographed and admirably performed. I loved it too.
My wife didn't want to see it - I had to go by myself.
The funny part is I didn't grow up listening to Abba.
I grew up listening to commercials for Abba records on TV. I only ever knew the hooks - and only a few seconds of each as the commercials back then would scroll a list of all the songs on the record and and play snips of some of them. Much later after leaving home I would be somewhere and hear a ABbba song come over the store's loudspeakers or pass by a radio that was playing something and the hooks would remind me of my youth spent watching UHF stations after school. Gilligan's Island, Leave it To Beaver, Gomer Pyle, Hogan's Heroes etc... all interspersed with commercials for records.
re: OP - I would add Saturday Night Fever and Rocky Horror Picture Show.
