Mamma Mia! is a fun romantic movie that you might not expect to be as good as it is. For those who don't like musicals, beware, this movie is a musical, but one that you may very well like if you like romance comedies. Mamma Mia is about a young woman named Sophie Sheridan who is about to get married. Before her wedding she reads her mother's diary and finds out that her father is one of three possible men.

Atonement is set in 1935 and is about 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family who live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion.

Robbie Turner (Mr. McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Ms. Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust.
