Watch Muriel's Wedding For Free

Undescribable Perfection

Truly Dreadful Film

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

As Good As It Gets

As if the weird gross gender roles weren't enough, the movie has that gross 90s Aussie cringe, akin to other garbage fests like The Wog Boy.Dancing Queen plays like, five times throughout the movie.Other humor is pretty dated, including a crude joke about the apartheid.

After watched this movie in late of nineties and found it above average movie...many years this film was release on DVD here for an small label. Today l re-watched again this amazing movie about self respect,love, loyalty,contempt and mainly happiness,Toni Collette is your best role ever,gave to the movie a cult reputation....incredible funny sometimes and sadness too...support by Abba soundtrack it's a really fresh and original movie from Australia

If you are looking for a fantasy movie then this is it, base mostly in Australia this movie will take you on an adventure. A young lady loving ABBA tries to find her dream wedding, problem is she has never had a date or really good friends.she deals with love, dreams, family, heart break and friends problems a long the way,she moves to the city with her best friend to change her life, when she is in the city she has a job, a home and she finds a guy she likes but that isn't the end of it at all, she will do anything to have a dream wedding. Throughout this movie there will be lots of laughs and some tears. Personally it is one of the best 1994 movie I have seen in a while, grab your best friends this movie some food for a night of laughter.

I always find it fascinating to see the early performances of well-known actors, like Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate". However I don't think any actor/actress has come as far as Toni Collette has since "Muriel's Wedding". It is almost impossible to see the same actor in both this and something recent, like "The Way, Way Back", but both performances are demonstrations of how great an actress she is. Collette, playing the title character, leads this movie effortlessly, with a hilarious and heart-breaking performance. It's a film about love, being the odd-one-out, and Australia.The film gives a strange view of Australia, similar to the one Baz Luhrmann presents in "Strictly Ballroom", with a lot of wacky characters and odd places. The town which Muriel grew up in and eventually deserts is called "Porpoise Spit", and the view of the country is a very unromantic one. It is almost fitting then that the main character is desperately seeking a husband, having been ousted from her group of friends for being a loser. She runs into an old school friend and moves to Sydney with her. Both are looking for love, and Muriel eventually finds it through David Van Arkle, a South African swimmer in need of Australian citizenship to compete in the Olympics. Her love is unrequited, but she doesn't realise this as she is too focused on finally getting married.Apart from Collette, the film is made up of a lot of great characters, each of whom have some form of running joke. The line "you're terrible, Muriel", spoken repeatedly by her sister, is always funny, as are the constant 'surprise' appearances by Deidre Chambers, who is having an affair with Muriel's father. Bill Hunter's politician-in-trouble character allows for some fantastic scenes, and as an audience, you really enjoy hating him. There is a lot of visual humour in the film, from Muriel's own appearance, to set pieces like the "bean bag scene", which gets more and more absurd as it goes along. The serious side to the film occasionally feels forced, but Collette manages to pull it together with a convincing performance and a look into Muriel's mindThe movie would not be the same without the soundtrack of infectiously energetic ABBA tracks, and their constant appearances are often really funny. (They could have adapted this into a proper musical, and there would have been no need for "Mamma Mia" to exist). Despite being slow at times, "Muriel's Wedding" is great fun, and manages to keep you laughing throughout.
