ABBA Album: “Last Video”

This DVD single is such fun. But what a tease! Although Agnetha and Frida appear "together" through the magic of CGI, it makes one wonder what the future holds in store.

Every ABBA fan should get a copy of this.Very, very cute! And it even sports a cameo by Cher!

LOL! A must for ABBA fans, this DVD is a make believe historical account of ABBA trying to make it in the music biz. It has the ABBA puppets auditioning for a slimy record producer and is intercerptdc with cameos of all four ABBA members -- separately of course (the image of Frida and Agnetha together is sadly computer generated--they were filmed at different locations). The dialogue is mostly lines from ABBA songs and unless you're an ABBA fan you may not get all...most...of them. There is a scene where they computer generated a scene from ABBA the Movie. They mixed it in very well I think. A good laugh and sure to please ABBA fans. It also comes with videos of 4 of their biggest hits Take a Chance on Me, The Winner Takes It All, Waterloo, and Dancing Queen.

Only problem is it's too short. Only like 10 or so minutes.

In spite of everything, I love this movie. I am not sure why. It is just so quirky! It is definitely not for everyone. Oral sex and homosexuality are referenced. The sheer nastiness of the record executive was a downer, as well. The plot is ABBA auditions for a record contact. The lines which are spoken are parts of song lyrics is a great idea. The puppets getting on the elevator, while a 70's version real life ABBA gets off the elevator is inspired. The members of ABBA all have cameos in the movie. Special features include a documentary on the puppets and special effects used. Hang on and the puppets will do another skit of Benny and Bjorn trying to write a song, that is the best part of the film (there is no direct task button to go to it, you just have to watch the documentary and then wait a bit, and it comes on next.) There are 4 music videos, of ABBA's most popular songs (Waterloo, Dancing Queen, Winner Takes It All, Take a Chance on Me.) I recomend it, just not to kids or those of a sensitive temperment.

This is a great video that shows that ABBA is so great despite early precictions of them just being a one hit wonder in their early years. They fooled many by becoming the worlds second biggest pop/rock group of all time. They sell more music each year than most of the new acts out today! This video will really appeal and mean much more to avid ABBA fans that know there history but it is very cute and i'm sure will appeal to other fans. The quality is great as are the extra information and clips that explain how it was made. Also, the conversations between the Bjorn and Benny puppets is great. I give this video an A+

I laughed so hard the first time I watched this. It's a fine addition to any ABBA fan's collection.
