History Heartwarming / MammaMia

* Tanya ''offers Donna a loan outright.'' For someone who's meant to be shallow and vapid, she can come through when she needs to.

'''Harry:''' Now, that's why you sent me the invite You wanted your old dad to walk you down the aisle. Well, I won't let you down! I'll be there!

* The fact that not a single ''one'' of the guys would've been a bad father. They all clearly care about her despite only having just met her, and when they all (separately) work out that they may be her father, all three promise to give her away at her wedding. One gets the distinct sense that, had they known they were possibly her father when she was a child, all three would've gladly stepped up to the plate to be there for her. This bit during ''Voulez-Vouz'' is especially sweet (even if Sophie begins to freak out a bit).

* Harry hugging Sam after [[spoiler: Donna accepts his proposal.]]
* It's been over twenty years since Donna and her friends performed on stage - when they perform Super Trouper the threesome are in ''perfect'' sync with one another. And, when Donna points out the three fathers to Tanya, Tanya's expression darkens, just for a moment, as she glances at them.

* Donna is feeling very down in the dumps and runs off crying - Tanya and Rosie, who are always trying to one-up one another - put aside their differences to work in ''perfect unison'' and perform Chiquitita to cheer her up. It ''works.''

* Donna told her friends - one of whom seems to be the kind of person that would blab at the first chance - that she doesn't know who the father of her child is. They don't turn on her or judge her. They ''stand by her for twenty years!''

* Donna. Sam. "When All Is Said And Done." It's Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, and the results are exactly what you'd expect from actors of that caliber.

* Donna and her friends must be in their mid-fifties. They still get along like a house on fire. How many people can say ''that''?

* Pretty much the entire film, really, but ''Slipping Through My Fingers'' is the CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming of the CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* It's clear that ''no one'' judges Donna for having slept with three separate men in such a short period of time that any of them could realistically be Sophie's dad -- not Sophie, not her friends, not the men themselves. The lack of SlutShaming is very refreshing, and Donna was obviously a very good mom to Sophie, dad or no dad.

** And ''Dancing Queen'' is the ''other'' [=CMoH=].

** To add a bit more perspective: MovieBob, who absolutely despised everything about this movie, was genuinely touched by that one scene.
