Review of Muriel's Wedding (1994) by Emma B — 15 Sep 2008
Muriel's Wedding, is truly a movie that is worth the watch! This is another of those movies that I have seen dozens of times, and seem to have committed to memory.
This is an Aussie comedy with flair. The story of a girl named Muriel, who longs to get out of the one horse town, of Porpoise Spit. She dreams of making a different life for herself, and is completely consumed with the idea of getting married. It's all about the journey of finding yourself, the bumps we have to get past in getting there, and the relationships we make along the way.
Toni Collette is nothing short of brilliant, as Muriel. She is ungraceful and alluring all at once. Rachel Griffiths is also quite well cast, as Rhonda. She is raw, sometimes vulgar, and amusing.
Muriel's Wedding is a charming film, that everyone will fall in love with once they watch it. It's a feel good classic for the ages. You will laugh till your side hurts, and be hunting for the Kleenex box!
Besides, who doesn't love ABBA?
"Goodbye Porpoise Spit! ".
