 10/10Must See
Muriel, played by Toni Collette, has trouble keeping up with her snobby girlfriends. Her girlfriends are (Modern) they keep up with the times, Muriel, on the other hand listens to 70's music, she listens to ABBA. The girlfriends kick Muriel out of their group because, as they say ("You Bring Us Down"). Muriel is unemployed and a constant daydreamer, she sits in her room all day listening to ABBA music and imagines what it would feel like "Getting Married". Muriel has never even had a boyfriend. Muriel's Wedding is basically a comedy, but it also deals with issues such as a friend being struck down by cancer, and the suicide death of a parent. Toni Collette is wonderful playing Muriel, her acting is so good, she makes you care about this character, you cheer for Muriel as she finally gets her wish, her wedding. Muriel's friend Rhonda is played by Rachael Griffiths, they leave the fictional town of Porpoise Spit which actually is (Tweed Heads, New South Wales) for the big city, Sydney, the city of brides. Muriel must deal with her low of self esteem, her honesty, or lack thereof , and she deals with a seriously dysfunctional family. And through it all you pull for her, this movie is a tearjerker, a heartwarming portrait of a wonderful young lady who just wanted to get married. Rent this movie and get a box of Kleenex. This movie makes me cry at the end, no matter how many times I watch it. I just really love this movie. I Give it 5*****Stars.

The title of this review -is- the review. This movie is funny, but in a thought-provoking way. It's about the difference between happiness and merely getting what you want. Rent it now.

This is a must for any Toni Collette fan-a starring role where she truely gets the attention she's always deserves. I loved the Abba soundtrack to it-made parts of the film so much fun. I think now I know where the musical Mamma Mia got its plot from. Even though it was a little slow and too serious at times it is still an enjoyable film. Was dissapointed with Six Feet Under's Rachel Griffiths role though- but that's the character's fault certainly not her own.

Veghas told me in college that he had seen this and was surprised how much he liked it. "Campy" he said. And it is with a lot of soul too. Great performances, one of the most hilarious sex scenes ever, and the tone is very deeply felt and obviously personal. Well worth checking out.

Sad
This quirky movie made me a bit sad - to think that there are people out there like Muriel who are desperate for love but can't seem to find it. A thoughtful movie.
