“The most surprising thing about Meryl Streep high-kicking her way through musical campfest MAMMA MIA isn’t the sight of the 59-year-old Oscar winner belting out ABBA hits like some POP IDOL hopeful. Rather, it’s the fact that she is actually older than her three leading men—55-year-old Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, 57 and Colin Firth, a tender 47. Let’s hope this signals the end of unconvincingly youthful-looking matriarchs, and uncomfortable sex scenes between craggy old men and much-younger actresses.”
