Mamma Mia! Trivia Questions

Answer: Bill

Sophie and Bill are dancing and talking when Bill realizes that he might be Sophie's father because his great aunt left Donna money. Bill's great aunt only left money to family. Unlike Sam and Harry, Bill is reluctant to accept the fact that Sophie is his daughter. He isn't sure if he can handle being her father, but he does agree to give her away and he eventually comes around to the idea of having a daughter.

Answer: Sam

This is the first song that Donna and Sam sing together. It's the scene where Sam confronts Donna about Sophie being too young to get married. He believes she has the potential to do so much more with her life and although Donna agrees, feels there isn't much she can do. Sam gets frustrated with Donna and this leads to them singing the song. I really liked how they split the scene up having Sam sing to Donna while she is working away on the wedding, and then Donna singing while Sam is decorating outside for the reception.

Answer: Donna

During the girls' party the night before (which was crashed by first the three dads and then the rest of the men) Sophie spoke first to Bill. Convinced from their conversation that he was her father, she asked him to give her away and he agreed. Later she spoke to both Harry and Sam, each convinced that he was her father. Both men offered to give her away so she was faced with having three different "fathers" giving her away. In order to avoid having to choose, she asked her mother to give her away. Donna was touched at being asked, and proud to do it.

Answer: Sleep all

This is what Donna, Rosie, and Tanya said when they met at the beginning of the movie. Also this is their "slogan".

Answer: Sky

Early on in the movie, it was established that Sophie was in a relationship with Sky and things got real serious since they planned on marrying. There was one scene in which Sky entered Sophie's room to get some things for his bachelor party. At the end of the movie, they decided to not rush their wedding and, in place of getting married, went on vacation. However, Donna and Sam did marry during the movie's final scenes.

Answer: Pepper

The night before Tanya sings "Does Your Mother Know", Tanya and Pepper dance and flirt at Sophie's bachelorette party. The next day Tanya has to tell Pepper that what happened at the party doesn't mean anything to her. She can't take a chance on a kid like him, because she's already been married four times, and she is looking for Mr. Right. Then she sings "Does Your Mother Know" to make sure that Pepper knows she isn't interested.

Answer: We never found out.

During the ceremony at the church, Donna mentioned the fact that Sophie's father was in the room. All three of the men stood up to be identified as such. After much discussion about what happened that summer, they each acknowledged that while they could have testing to find out which of them was her real father, each was content to not know and to have a third of her.

Answer: Never found out/ Wasn't in the movie

In "Take a Chance on Me" after they are done, they get all kissie and it's soooooo sweet! They are filming it at the wedding party, on a roof, and in an alley.

Answer: Donna and the Dynamos

There was a brief mention near the film's beginning of the band's name, when the three ladies spoke of how much fun they'd had singing years back as Donna and the Dynamos. Midway through the film, the three ladies got on the P.A. system at a gathering and stated they would be singing again. They claimed this would be for only one night.

Answer: Take a Chance On Me

Rosie sings "Take a Chance On Me" to Bill, and near the end of the song everyone is jumping on and around the crack in the courtyard and chanting "Take a chance, take a chance, take a take a chance chance."

Answer: Sam Carmichael

Sophie tells Sky that they should go off and see the world. The bride and groom to be confess their love and exit the little chapel leaving the guests, fathers and Donna standing around all confused. The preacher asks Donna if the wedding has been canceled and she tells him she isn't sure. Sam turns to Donna and says, "Why waste a perfectly good wedding". He informs a shocked Donna that she's going to need someone to boss around on the island. With her friends coaching her on, she sings "I Do, I Do, I Do" and they wed.

Answer: Donna and Sam

Having had the issue of her parentage sort of cleared up, Sophie announced that although she loved Sky and wanted to spend her life with him, she wasn't ready to get married and wanted to do some traveling. Sam surprised Donna by suggesting that they get married instead. Since he was the one whom Donna really loved (the other two being rebound relationships) she accepted, after he explained that he had broken off his engagement, twenty-one years before, and had come back for her, only to find that she had left with another man.
Although they didn't marry, Rosie did set her sights on Bill, and though he initially resisted, he eventually gave in and it looked like the two of them would be keeping company.

Answer: I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do

I love this because when she accepts they get all kissie! It just makes me sooooo happy! He sings the song to her 'cause it is a musical and you know its not an ordinary proposal.

Answer: Sam

Sophie went to be alone and she saw Sam standing alone as well, so the two spoke. In the conversation, Sam claimed he wanted to try and explain to Donna how he came in peace. Sam asked Sophie what he was doing there on the island but Sophie did not answer him.

Answer: ABBA

Some of the ABBA songs that are featured in Mamma Mia are "Dancing Queen", "Take a Chance on Me" and "The Winner Takes It All."
These songs are important to "Mamma Mia" not only because they are entertaining, but also because they help you to better understand different parts of the movie. For example, "Dancing Queen" lets us know what Donna and the Dynamos were like before they 'grew up'.

Answer: The end credits

After the movie has finished and the credits begin to roll, Donna and the Dynamo's perform "Dancing Queen". The song ends and Donna ask the audience if they'd like to hear another and they begin to sing "Waterloo". After the first chorus Sam, Harry and Bill come out dressed up and wearing sashes across their chests with their names on it. Another chorus later Sophie and Sky join in and the group of eight continue to sing and dance along.

Answer: The dolphin mosaic broke and a huge fountain erupted, soaking everyone.

Earlier in the movie it was mentioned that local legend claimed the hotel was built on Aphrodite's fountain. When a tremor cause the dolphin mosaic in the patio to crack, Donna tried to caulk it shut but her caulking gun didn't work. During the dance at the wedding party, the mosaic was blown apart by the force of the water erupting from underneath. The legend of it being Aphrodite's fountain was again resurrected, as the people danced in the water. With Aphrodite being the goddess of love, it was presumably Donna's reunion with her true love that caused the fountain to erupt.

Answer: Tough, Tall, Tiny

This is the thing that Ali, Lisa, and Sophie sang when they met the first time they met in the beginning of the show. Also this is their "secret handshake."

Answer: Kipper

At Sophie's big party, she had a brief interaction with Harry and asked him if he had any children of his own. Harry stated that the closest he could come to kids was two dogs named Lucy and Kipper. Shortly afterwards, Sophie went to speak with Bill.

Answer: Aphrodite's Fountain

Near the beginning of the movie Sophie explains that the hotel was once the site of Aphrodite's fountain (the goddess of love)and that if you drink from her fountain you are supposed to find true love and perfect happiness. When the water bursts from the crack, it seems as if everyone has found true love -Donna and Sam, Rosie and Bill, Harry and a man that we don't learn the name of, possibly Tanya and Pepper, and of course...Sophie and Sky!

Answer: The joy they're bringing

"So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all, the joy they're bringing."

Although this song was released in 1978's "The Album", it had been recorded as early as in 1972.

After the ending scene, two more songs were played. Donna (Meryl Streep), Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie (Julie Walters) performed "Dancing Queen" once again. They were then joined by Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Harry (Colin Firth) and Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) to perform "Waterloo" in their sparkling and glittery disco outfits.

In the movie, Amanda Seyfried (Sophie) performed "Thank You for the Music".

Answer: Her mother told her not to bother.

During the mother-daughter moment Donna tells Sophie that she didn't have a choice but to raise Sophie the way she did, because her mother told her not to come home. Of course she has no regrets about this decision and tells her daughter that having her was the best thing she ever did in her life.
