Hi,

Not yet had time to see the Mamma Mia the Movie here yet and from Time Out see that it is showing in Dubai. I thought this might be something we could do on our last night as we don't fly home until the early hours. Just wanted to ask if it will be in 1. English and 2. if it will have sub titles?

Thanks

Ann

As always with films here it's in it's original language (English) though with Arabic subtitles only, no French, (at least at Mercato) so not overly intrusive. In fact, I didn't even notice the subtitles initially.

Just saw Mama Mia last night it was fantastic.

My daughter saw a film last year at the Ibbn Batutta Mall and it was in English with Arabic subtitles.

Hi Ann

Hope you have a great time, you must really like Mama Mia if you have seen the show 4 times, I really enjoyed the film went to see it in Enfield and it was packed, a if you see it in Dubai with the air conditioning bliss.

I am at a party in Cheshunt next week at a place called Turners.

i would recommend going to MOE (Mall of emirates) but see the film in the 'gold class' cinema....so good. fully reclining chairs with footrests and your own table, they have a food menu and will bring you whatever u order (burgers, chicken, sweets, popcorn..etc)

not really much more than u would pay for a normal cinema at home, so well worth it.

For anyone with children, at the ibn they are currently showing kids films at 4.00 clock on a thurs, fri and sat at the ibn buttuta for 15dhs including popcorn ( films are a year or so old and change weekly)
