From Inquirer:

Of Amanda Seyfried, who plays her bride-to-be daughter Sophie, the mother of three girls enthused, “From the moment Amanda opened her mouth in the first reading, I felt like she was one of my daughters. She shares many traits with my daughters. She is strong. She has a quiet voice but she has a stubborn streak. The word that keeps coming up about her is delicious. That’s the way I feel about my girls. It’s very easy to feel that Amanda was too young to get married, just like the way I feel about my girls.”

A few of you have asked me what the advance reviews of Mamma Mia! have been like so I thought I’d make a little post about it. The reviews have over all been positive and the film has a 7.5 rating at IMDb and 71% over at Rotten Tomatoes. The film opens in the UK tomorrow, premieres in New York City on July 16 and opens in cinemas in the US on July 18.

By the way, you can watch many related videos and clips over at Yahoo! Movies.

On July 4, 2008, Amanda Seyfried and the cast of Mamma Mia! promoted the movie in Stockholm, Sweden, the home of Abba. The members of Abba were also present at the premiere and photocall. Amanda looked dazzling at the premiere in yet another winning number… I truly adore her sense of style! And at the photocall, Amanda and her co-stars were awarded with their very first gold record! Congratulations for the honor! Check out some photos below.

Amanda Seyfried and on-screen mamma Meryl Streep earlier today at the Berlin photocall for their upcoming movie Mamma Mia!, both looking flawless.

This week I had the amazing opportunity to meet the stars of Mamma Mia! just before they walked the blue carpet at the big world premiere. Here’s an excerpt of the Q+A with the women of the film: Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski and Amanda Seyfried. Be sure to keep coming back to PopSugar UK to see what the actresses had to say about the singing and dancing they had to take on too. In the lead up to the movie’s release on 10th July, I’ll also bring you the lowdown on what Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Dominic Cooper and Stellan Skarsgård had to say about their experiences on set.

To set the scene, the three actresses all dressed in black: Meryl accessorised with a long necklace, natural makeup and her hair up; Christine donned a double string of pearls, perfect hair and red lipstick; and Amanda’s huge eyes peeped out from her long straight hair. They laughed a lot and seemed to genuinely like each other.

Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried gets very excited if you mention a certain British actor and a former Bond man.

“He’s so sexy, Colin Firth, so sexy [and] will always be,” Seyfried, 22, told Entertainment Tonight as she giggled about her Mamma Mia! costar.

And she feels equally as lucky when it comes to sharing the screen with another handsome actor: Pierce Brosnan.

“Shooting in the summer of ’07 on the 007 [sound]stage with a 007, that’s one of the things he said to me, and I was like, ‘You’re right, I am lucky,’ because he’s a studly, studly man!” the actress says.

The world premiere of Mamma Mia! was held tonight in London, England. Amanda Seyfried, alongside many of her co-stars, including Meryl Streep, was in attendance. Amanda was a vision in an emerald green Miu Miu dress – she looked nothing short of stunning! This is definitely one of my all time favorite looks of hers.
