Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, the screenwriters behind the original 1987 hit flick filmed almost entirely…
The film’s half-baked story about a girl trying to live out her slutty, wonderful, deceased mother’s dream of operating a hotel on a Greek island (all set to the music of ABBA) is so thoroughly entertaining and ridiculous that the cast members can’t help but crack into dumb grins at what they’re doing
