The film, reverse to popular belief, does take a plot — information technology simultaneously follows Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) as she reopens the hotel her recently deceased mother Donna (Meryl Streep) founded, and a younger Donna (Lily James) as she embarks on a cross-land adventure and meets iii lovers, one of whom she will excogitate her daughter with.

Simply let's be frank; audiences aren't going to see Mamma Mia! Here We Go Once again for character evolution, subtle storytelling or even plot points that makes sense. The world wants to run into A-list celebrities singing their favorite ABBA songs, even if the vast bulk of the Swedish super grouping's hits were already included in the previous flick.

There are plenty of great musical sequences in the film, full of expertly choreographed dancing, big budget set pieces and much less of Pierce Brosnan's singing. In that location are also a number of duds, where it's clear that producers wanted to fill time by adding in another song from ABBA's expansive catalog.

While there are 18 songs on the movie's official soundtrack, only xvi of them made their way into the moving-picture show (filmmakers must have decided to cut "I Wonder (Divergence)" and "The Mean solar day Earlier You lot Came" for time.) With that in listen, hither are all sixteen musical performances from Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, ranked.

xvi. "Kisses Of Burn"

It's well-nigh unfair to even place this vocal on our listing. While many of the moving picture'southward other performances feature big-budget product value, a dance sequence or ii, or even a general plot effect that they are going for, this ABBA song is treated basically as a one-off joke. Sung in a Grecian bar by a mediocre and comically cheesy house band, this number serves as more than of a strangely drawn-out ABBA Easter egg than it does equally i of Mamma Mia'south actual musical performances. The fact that this one made it into the picture show, just Meryl Streep's hauntingly cute rendition of "The Mean solar day Before You Came" didn't, is a law-breaking.

15. "Knowing Me, Knowing Y'all"

In another of the few remaining ABBA hits to debut in this pic, immature Donna breaks information technology off with the i lover she actually fell in love with every bit Harry departs the island. Harry sings from the ferry gunkhole, while Donna watches him become from the shore — and that'due south pretty much information technology. It's an extremely short tune, featuring merely the first verse and chorus of the song. While "Knowing Me, Knowing Yous" is one of ABBA's most iconic songs, the picture show's rendition merely isn't able to practise it justice. It's tragic that such a wonderful ABBA classic lands this far down on the listing, but the filmmakers may as well have cutting this one with the amount of fourth dimension it ultimately gets on screen.

xiv. "One Of Us"

While "Ane of Us" is a genuinely bully and often underappreciated ABBA song, the picture show's version of the breakdown ballad was just a little awkward. In a scene that seems forced only so that the producers could include this track, Sophie has an angry and emotional phone call with her husband Sky (Dominic Cooper), where the 2 argue about whether or not he should stay in New York indefinitely to piece of work at some other hotel. The ensuing number features the two walking and moping most their respective bedrooms, with a few visual stunts that make information technology seem like they're really right next to one another. Information technology'south a fine set piece, just it'southward ultimately undercut when Sky'southward plotline is rapidly resolved when he randomly decides to fly back to Greece to be with his wife.

thirteen. "I Have A Dream"

Ultimately, this moment in the film doesn't hateful much — we watch as young Donna wanders through a worn-down farmhouse on Kalokairi (a fictional Grecian island), while the magic of filmmaking shows the audience the beautifully-made over current day version of that firm, where Donna's hotel at present resides. Fifty-fifty Lily James' silky dulcet tones can't save this ultimately inconsequential number.

12. "The Proper noun Of The Game"

This ultra-hit ABBA track was recorded and shot for the original moving picture, merely ultimately didn't get in into the finished version. In it's official debut in the Mamma Mia! series, "The Name of the Game" finds young Donna strolling effectually an orange tree orchard, where she has a cute run-in with a caprine animal, does a pull a fast one on with an orange and ultimately discovers that Sam, despite having slept with her the dark before, is engaged. Information technology'southward a fine moment in the flick, but it almost seems every bit though its inclusion was not a choice made on the basis of plot but so that producers could include one of the four remaining songs off of ABBA's Gold compilation anthology.

xi. "Why Did It Have To Be Me?"

When young Donna boards a gunkhole with her future lover Bill (Josh Dylan), the derisive sailor continually tries to convince her that the 2 should be together, despite the young woman'south protests. Information technology'south an admittedly skillful number, putting an ABBA song that many may not know to good employ in the context of the picture. While information technology may not live up to some of the spectacle-driven performances found afterward on this list, this deep cutting does its job and does it effectively.

10. "Angel Eyes"

Later a few musical numbers wrought with emotion and heartbreak, Mamma Mia! Here We Become Again needed a comedic break. So the motion picture turned to Christine Baranski and Julie Walters' Tanya and Rosie to cheer upward the audition and Sophie. With the Dynamos trying to convince Sophie that she and Sky are going to be okay, this short number was both well-executed and hilarious. Sure, Rosie's constant incoordination and undying dearest for bread were the lowest common comedic denominator, simply it still made for a fun romp at a moment that the film needed it.

nine. "Mamma Mia"

Yet some other rail that is repeated from the original film, this entry actually serves some narrative purpose. In the commencement picture, Meryl Streep'due south performance of the song — while very funny and relatively skilful — didn't entirely make sense. Sure, she was surprised, simply while she may have nevertheless had unresolved feelings about Sam, why sing a song about falling dorsum in love with a adulterous ex when you're seeing three men, just one of which broke your heart? In the sequel, young Donna gets her ain crack at the vocal, fresh afterwards having her heart broken by Sam. And then, when she and the Dynamos are set to perform at a bar, she decides to let out everything that she was feeling, and it makes for another lovely rendition of the ABBA classic.

8. "Andante, Andante"

Some other loving moment from the film, "Andante, Andante" serves as an audition song, sung again past Lily James. Young Donna simultaneously proves to a local bar-owner that she has a skillful enough voice to sing at her establishment and seduces her island lover, Sam (Jeremy Irvine). The groundwork acting from Irvine and company falls to the wayside so that James' stellar vocalization can ring conspicuously throughout this gorgeous rendition of a lesser-known ABBA B-side.

7. "Waterloo"

In the original film, fans were practically indignant at the fact that ABBA's smash-hit single "Waterloo" didn't make the terminal cut. The producers clearly understood that, and ultimately did the song justice in the sequel. Taking place in a kitschy restaurant in Paris, a young Harry (Hugh Skinner) convinces James' Donna that they must exist in love, despite the fact that they'd merely merely met. Complete with tap-dancing waiters, full-on Napoleon costumes and well-executed vocal performances from Skinner and James, "Waterloo" is a wonderfully fun number that had everyone in the audience laughing.

6. "I've Been Waiting For Y'all"

While the plot and characters of this motion-picture show are ultimately secondary to the sunny ABBA soundtrack, "I've Been Waiting for You" is one of ii songs in Mamma Mia! Here Nosotros Go Again that balances music with 18-carat, touching emotion. When Sophie takes to the phase to make full her deceased mother's place in Donna and the Dynamos, the flick cuts between her operation of this gorgeous ABBA ballad and immature Donna giving birth to her daughter. It is a cute, tear-jerking moment that is only surpassed in emotion by one other song (see below).

5. "Super Trouper"

Everyone loves an encore, and that's certainly true for the "Super Trouper" finale that plays over the film'due south credits. The entire cast, (starting, of course, with Cher) comes back on screen for this costume-and-dance heavy rendition of ABBA's classic disco track. With confetti flight and every unmarried bandage member wearing their nearly fabulous ABBA-inspired outfits, the song is a surefire crowd-pleaser that does it's job to go out the audience feeling warm and fuzzy after the motion-picture show's weepy, teary-eyed catastrophe.

iv. "When I Kissed The Teacher"

The moving-picture show starts off with a whiz-bang performance from James' Donna, Jessica Keenan Wynn and Alexa Davies as the respective Dynamos. Taking place at the trio's graduation from Oxford University, the girl group rips off their graduation robes to requite a raucous and hysterical performance of this well-loved ABBA B-side. The moment sets the film up for its future testify-stopping performances, and lets the audience know that their ticket was well worth the $15 cost.

three. "Dancing Queen"

Upon first watching this sequence, it's like shooting fish in a barrel to compare information technology to the original pic'south rendition of ABBA's biggest hit. Both take identify partly on a dock, both have giant casts of actors lip-syncing and gyrating, and both evidently have a lot of dancing. But if yous can watch Mamma Mia! Here We Get Again without at least smirking during this scene, and then you are a stronger person than nigh. The simple shot of the iii boats turning into the harbor, coupled with some hilarious acting from Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Skarsgård, make this one of the most enjoyable moments of the film.

2. "My Honey, My Life"

When the opening of the film confirmed that Meryl Streep's Donna had died, audiences felt shocked and cheated. Why would you kill off the one character that served equally the anchor for the unabridged series? But if that's what it took to get this beautifully heartfelt and sob-inducing number from Streep and Seyfried at the film'south endmost moments, so information technology was worth it. As Sophie brings her newly-born son to her chapel to be christened, the spirit of Donna, unseen past anyone but Sophie, sings her daughter and grandson a delicate goodbye before exiting the chapel, and probably this world. Not a dry out eye was found as the film ended with Streep closing the doors to that chapel.

i. "Fernando"

How could it have been any other song? The moment Cher showed upwards in the pic's trailer, audiences everywhere collectively gasped and vowed to purchase their tickets. While she may have only been present for the last 20 minutes of the picture, Cher is undeniably the greatest part of Mamma Mia! Here Nosotros Go Again. Her functioning of "Fernando" is not only smashing simply by virtue of her impeccable vocals, but also because information technology represents everything the film ought to exist. Rather than wasting an exorbitant amount of fourth dimension explaining why Sophie'south grandmother is singing a song to her onetime Latin lover (played excellently by Andy Garcia), the moving-picture show merely has Cher come across his confront, say his name, and launch right into this fabulous performance of the ABBA classic. It's got crazy fireworks, information technology's got dancing, it'south unbelievably campy, and it is Cher. The entire film basically becomes an elongated opening human activity for this vocal, and still it was all nonetheless worth it.
