Movies that feel likeMamma Mia! (2008)

A spirited young bride-to-be living with her single mother on a small Greek island secretly invites three of her mother's ex-boyfriends in hope of finding her biological father to walk her down the aisle.

If you loved Mamma Mia!, the closest films we have are Lisbela and the Prisoner (2003), Definitely, Maybe (2008) and Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008). All three share Mamma Mia!'s witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Trainwreck (2015).
