Profile of Muriel's Wedding

The mood of Muriel's Wedding is humorous, bittersweet, and offbeat. The plot centers around homecoming, a Cinderella story, and weddings. It is a drama, comedy, and independent movie. Stylistically, Muriel's Wedding stars a strong female character. In approach, it is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in a small town. Muriel's Wedding is set in Australia. It happens in the 1990s. The musical score is pop. Muriel's Wedding is known for being an award winner, critically acclaimed, and a cult favorite. It is especially suggested for a girls' night.

Summary of Muriel's Wedding

A dark, occasionally caustic, comedy in which a self-pitying, ABBA-worshipping, Aussie lass looks for love in all the wrong places. Colorfully offbeat.
