I guess it wasn't so bad. It had a lot of dirty parts and the movie would be better without them. But there was good humor in it and even parts that tugged at your heartstrings. But I'd never see it again or reccomend it to anyone.
It had it's moments, but in general it was kind of disappointing. The overly campy opening act misleads you into thinking this is going to be a comedy, but then a heart attack and cancer turn it into a weepy melodrama. Mamma Mia (the play! Not the movie!) did the ABBA wedding better. Despite it all, Toni Collette is fabulous as always.
love this film its a good one for a nigth in with the girls and a bottle of wine, so you can all enjoy a good sing along
I saw this film a few times. I still think it's good eventhough I think she is crazy in the film! LoL
Surprisingly rich comedy with a witty script filled out with great performances. Unusually dark and brave plot developments keep you interested.
A real heartwarming story of a girl who thinks that being married will bring her all the happiness she needs. Both female lads are top notch and the film did wonders for ABBA songs making a comeback Good ending too.
wow i think that this is a decent film....this is 1 of my favourite comedy films....the soundtrack is really good because its abba...its a good story line, good dialouge, this is a very funn film that i really enjoyed....its got a good soundtrack this is just a great Romance, Comedy movie that i really enjoyed
Over ten years since it was first released and it's still fresh and funny. Toni Collette has amassed quite a body of work since but this is still her signature piece. 4 stars!
This movie is fantastic because the character is believable to me. There are so many women that hit a point in life and think marriage is the most important thing. But the real idea behind the film is that Muriel grows up and take responsibility for herself. This is one of the films that got me to love Toni Collete
i remember goin to see this with a chinese girl-friend when we should of been at college. at the old now gone odeon in nottingham
Quirky Australian comedy at it's best. Toni Collete gives an amazing performance. The chick from Six Feet Under is also choice.
toni collette is like my favorite. her character in this movie is heartbreakingly awkward and nerdy. i love it. it's pretty cheesy and not that deep or anything but worth seeing because of muriel. or mariel :)
After waiting 12 years to see this film, it was a huge let down. Not that I think I would have been impressed back then either. I certainly never thought it would go the way it did and that's just not what I was after. It was an ok story of a small town girl trying to break out from under her fathers mean gaze, but didn't impress me much. Toni Collette was great though and I love Rachel Griffiths, I didn't know she was in this!
Under-rated gem! It's one of the best "feel good" movies ever made! The entire cast, down to the intricate, smallest characters, are so interesting & Toni Collette, Rachel Griffiths, and Jeanie Drynan (as the under-apprecciated mom), are terrific! Don't miss...
Muriel's Wedding is one of my favorite movies. This Australian film import introduced me to the very talented Toni Collette. The film has a strong cast and soundtrack to match.
Muriel lives in a small town in Autralia whom through her favorite group Abba dreams of leaving and becoming a beautiful bride. A great moment when she meets up with a girl from high school on a isnland vacation turns to be a dream for the both of them. I love when both ladies enter into a competition to lip synch to Waterloo from Abba. If you have not seen this film you have to check it out.....you will enjoy it!!!
that muriel... what a role! i loved toni collette there, so weird and broken inside... and of course the enormous rachel griffiths (pre-6 feet under, that AMAZING series, by the way). but i loved specially the obsession for abba: intimately pathetic but strong, a sweet refuge from a cruel and hypocrit world... and that musical number during the holidays! in a certain way, freedom wins, but not without any harm, and that's good, a clever point of view.
Very cutie movie for the girls to watch. I like how it shows that friendship is a big thing in people's lifes.
Haves some really funny parts. I mean an obsessed abba women who's a klepto. Plus Rachel Griffiths is in it & dysfunctional Australians.
I thought this movie was so much fun and just to funny!! Great laughs and you can't help but fall in love with Muriel !!
Your terrible Muriel, some great australian laughs here.
Film that effectively launched Toni Collete and Rachel Griffiths international careers.
I loved this movie from when i saw it in the theater at 15 years old. It's just a good story about a girl who's discovering herself. A few hiccups along the way but still good :D
Your terrible Muriel ha ha ha. Toni Collette was great in this flick, funny story and great cast not to mention the music....ABBA
