Pierce Brosnan, star of Mamma Mia: The Movie, has criticised the stage version of the musical. Brosnan, who starred as Meryl Streep's love interest Sam in the 2008 film, admitted he was looking forward to seeing the production in the West End after agreeing to be in the film but left the show unimpressed and wondering whether he'd made the right decision. "I took my mother and stepchildren Charlotte and Christopher to see the stage production of Mamma Mia! in London. I thought, 'What have I done? This is so schmaltzy. Oh dear, oh dear!'" Brosnan told WENN. "I forgot to ask who I was playing. One of the dads. I could be playing the gay dad or this rugged guy, then this other guy came out and said, 'My name's Sam Carmichael', and I thought, 'There you go, that's me'."
