Help!??? | 8:16 p.m. July 17, 2008

So aside from the nudity, vulgarity, drugs and profanity the movie is redeemed by the message which is that it can be great fun trying to figure out who on earth your father might be when it's time to get married.

OK, let's all turn off our prudish buttons and get over ourselves. This musical is fun and by the end of the show the issue of who's the father is a mute issue. The mother, Donna (Meryl Streep) finally settles down and her daughter decides to do some growing up before marrying. It's a positive film which uplifts and entertains. Utah needs to lighten up!

I agree with Help!???
The only reason this movie is anything is because of the music. Other than that, it's not surprising that Hollywood wants to glorify slutiness.
