Yup. The 'new' full US trailer for MAMMA MIA! was released last week, now here is the different Int'l trailer. Nope... no singing clips in this one BUT you get to hear Amanda's "Honey, Honey" and some more of "Gimme Gimme Gimme". More dialogue snippets, too!
"Picture "The View," with the wisecracking, sympathetic sweethearts of that ABC television show replaced by a panel of embittered, suffering or enraged Arab women" -the Times review of Black Eyed
This is my favorite one so far, for the very reason that Wildcard points out.
"Zac is sweet as can be. He's very much just a sweet kid from California who happens to have a face that looks like it was drawn by Michelangelo, (if Michelangelo did anime)." -Adam Shankman.
"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"
"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!" -E!'s "The Soup"
Yeah, it is definitely the trailer that appeals to the young audience. The older cast is more interesting to me, so I prefer the new American trailer. My favorite is the very first UK trailer with Meryl singing the title song. And yes, Meryl's "Oh my God!" is pretty funny.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
Hmmm, none of the trailers I've seen seem to make it clear that this is a movie musical, not just a romantic comedy with lots of ABBA in the background.
She's seen singing for about 5 seconds. You have to wonder how much singing will actually be done in the movie instead of as just background music.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
The last trailer definitely shows a lot of scenes where you can tell the actors are singing/dancing. There's a shot of Amanda Seyfred leaning against a rock where you can tell she is definitely singing, there's that shot of Seyfred with the two other girls each on a different window singing, there's a plethora of shots of Meryl in her Dynamo costume singing with the two other gals, and there's that one shot of Meryl on some kind of rock formation where you can tell she is singing some sort of ballad (I assume it's "The Winner Takes It All"), among others. I have no doubt that there will be plenty of on-screen singing.

I can't wait for this movie! (particularly Colin Firth). I do think there will be a lot of Meryl singing in the movie, they probably just didnt want to show all of the good parts in the previews. I am curious to see Pierce Brosnan sing...
The more I see of this the more I look forword to seeing the full movie! Just looks like fun. I think it will do well.

The film is basically a carbon-copy replica (to some extent) of the stage version. The first test screening of the rough-cut of the film was held in San Diego, CA last Wednesday night and numerous reports appeared online. There is one in particular that literally breaks down the film almost scene-by-scene, so yes... though less than a handful of songs were not included (though the non-musicalized scene is still there), all the characters sing their respective songs, including Meryl.
I hate doing this, but here is the link to the review with the film's scene-by-scene break-down (*120% SPOILERS OVERLOAD*):

With all these men playing the possible dads, I can so see why Meryl's Donna would have slept with all of them, they are all terribly yummy.

"In the U.S.A.
You can have your say,
You can set you goals
And seize the day,
You've been given the freedom
To work your way
To the head of the line-
To the head of the line!"

What I meant was not that I'm afraid the movie won't be musical enough, just that audiences won't know that's what it is. (This happened when I saw Sweeney Todd and people started going, "OMG! Johnny Depp is singing, huh what??!")
