20-year-old Sophie Sheridan lives with her mother Donna on the small Greek island Kalokairi where Donna runs a hotel called Villa Donna. Sophie is planning to marry her fiance Sky and wants her father to be present to "give her away," but does not know who he is. After reading Donna's diary from 20 years ago, she concludes he is one of three men: Sam Carmichael, Harry Bright, or Bill Anderson. She thinks she can recognize who is her father right away when she see them. Without telling her mother and fiancé, Sophie mails invitations to all three, and hopes to find out which is her father. Sophie tells her two best friends, Ali and Lisa about her potential fathers. Other guests have also arrived from the harbor:Donna's longtime friends, single,fun-loving writer Rosie and rich three-time divorcée Tanya.

After confessing to Sky that she has invited all three potential fathers, Sky says that he is unsure of what he wants to do about the wedding. Sophie rushes up to Donna and asks her if she will help her prepare for the wedding and she agrees; whilst preparing, they both reminisce about the times before being engaged. Donna, still unaware of Sam's true feelings, and rushing to the hilltop wedding, tells Sam to stop talking to her. Then Donna runs to the hilltop. Sam is stunned.During the wedding ceremony, Donna finally mentions the "father" issue, and the secrets begin unraveling: all three potential fathers publicly claim be Sophie's father and agree to happily take a 'third' each. Sophie and Sky decide to postpone the wedding,as Sky wanted all along,and to take a trip around the world together. Sam proposes to Donna so the wedding party is not wasted.

After seeing this movie:

The whole movie is bustling, and ABBA's music plays from time to time. If you are a fan of ABBA's, I believe that you must will love this move. Though I'm not their fan, thosee familiar songs combines with the happy scenes in the movie, I feel joyous, too, during the movie. The plot of the whole play is quite simple and there's no need to think much about the plot, so it makes me feel relax. To sum up, this is a good movie. :D
