Muriel's Wedding

The first time I saw this film advertised I was in my teens and it just didn't appeal to me. I decided to watch this many years later and what was I thinking? This has to be one of the funniest films I've seen. It really made me laugh. Such a simple plot line that had characters you really cared about and were rooting for. My favourite character by far was Rhonda as I saw so much of myself in her. Wonderful film and I will be watching again. Go Toni Colletee, now I understand why your career took off after this film.

The greatest movie ever made. The entire cast is brilliant, from Toni Collette to Bill Hunter, and Jeanie Drynan. This movie speaks with such honesty and humour and warmth about the loneliness affecting so many of us. We all know a "Muriel" in our own lives, or we've been one ourselves. And who doesn't know a Bill or Betty Heslop? It's, therefore, such a heroic moment to see this character finally stand on her own two feet. "What kind of person marries someone they don't know?" "You did." "I want to win. All my life I've wanted to win." "Me too." This film is pure magic, and I love rewatching it every time. Full marks from me.

A pretty decent offbeat Oz comedy. Dark in places and maybe a bit too maudlin towards the end which killed off the upbeat wacky humour of the first half of the film. Felt a bit like an Oz version of 4 weddings. Definitely worthy of cult status because it was low budget but unexpectedly memorable. Watched on Amazon Prime.

So good. Very Australian humor.

this movie was able to show the difficulty of life from one side. he was under a tyrannical seal and had never even had a respectable date. He escaped to Australia and changed his name to live, although it was difficult, but in a way it was good.

In my opinion, I felt that the movie was very good, behind all this, the filmmaker was able to come up with the right festive details to congratulate the members of the behind-the-scenes team.

An Abba induced, happy go lucky comedy-drama set in small town Australia. The film's heroine, Muriel (Toni Collette), escapes her dysfunctional clan in Porpoise Spit for the big city life in Sydney with her fast track gal pal. Muriel captures her 15 minutes of television fame when she agrees to marry a South African swimming champion so he can compete for Australia at the Olympics. There are some dark moments in this otherwise feel good Abba sing along about friendship and youthful independence. Rated R 1994 AUS 1995 US

Wonderful movie, Toni Collette displayed her acting credentials in this quirky and bittersweet tale of an outcasts determination to be accepted , I must admit I fell a bit in love with muriel and this movie.

Brilliant and soooo underrated.

Very interesting movie, not what I expected but really happy that I watched. Thought provoking and very funny at times.
