Amazon.co.uk Review

Ever since the late 1970s when the Australian New Wave was in full surge, Down Under directors have delivered movies that often hit you like news from another planet. Offbeat characters, weird narrative twists and a tart mixture of laughs and catastrophe--this is the juice that fuels such flicks as Proof, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Strictly Ballroom, Heavenly Creatures and, most certainly, Muriel's Wedding. Directed by PJ Hogan (who would go on to helm the Hollywood hit My Best Friend's Wedding), this little gem follows tradition by featuring an authentic misfit: Muriel (Toni Collette), a great, overweight horse of a girl obsessed with getting married and the music of ABBA. Appropriately, we first meet Muriel at a wedding, all trussed up in a leopardskin number she's boosted for the occasion. When her snotty peers insist that she give up the bridal bouquet to someone who might actually get hitched, when one of the guests turns out to be a clerk in the very store where Muriel ripped off her outfit, you've just got to laugh, she's such an unmitigated mess. A loser, her philandering politician father (Bill Hunter) calls her--along with his doormat wife and his other couch-potato offspring. But this movie's no exercise in geek-bashing. As Muriel takes up with feisty Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths) and moves from Porpoise Spit to the big city, her good-hearted grin and zest for life draw us in despite hilarious gaffes and mishaps. (Making out with a boy for the first time, Muriel suddenly finds herself awash in styrofoam: the oaf has unzipped the beanbag chair instead of her skin-tight leather pants.) Muriel's Wedding covers territory Hollywood would banish from a comedy--Rhonda's cancer, the suicide of Muriel's mother, a marriage of convenience to an arrogant athlete--yet, like its heroine, it never loses its sense of humour, its will to move on to whatever good thing might happen next. Everyone in the idiosyncratic cast is terrific, but it's Toni Collette's Dancing Queen who makes Muriel's Wedding a cinematic celebration you won't forget. --Kathleen Murphy

5.0 out of 5 stars A Movie in Need of Rehabilitation!, 27 May 2004

By	brianwilsonisgod (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

As others have mentioned, this film was really done an incredible disservice by the studio's marketing department. It was made to look like a fun, fluffy comedy strictly for girls, but it's so much more than that. I would genuinely place it among the top ten films that have affected me most in my life (alongside such heavyweights as A Streetcar Named Desire and Schindler's List), because it is one of those films that seem to transcend the medium and shoot you directly in the heart, leaving you feeling you've learned something invaluable about the human condition.
At the centre of the film is an astounding performance by Toni Collette - one that stands with the greatest character studies in cinema history (I know I'm using lots of hyperbole, but this film really justifies it!). She has you howling with laughter one moment and then makes your heart ache the next. As if this isn't enough, the supporting cast is also uniformly amazing. Rachel Griffiths is awesome in a very early role (pre-Six Feet Under of course...), and the actors and actresses playing Muriel's family are all brilliant in their own individual ways - especially her father and mother.
This is a film that WILL make you laugh hysterically at times (and will have you quoting the lines for the rest of your life), but it will also make you cry. And after it has finished, you will feel that your life has been immeasurably enriched.
Watch it. Please.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muriel's Triumph, 25 Mar 2007

By	Four Violets (Hertford UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I wish I had never seen this film - so that I could see it now for the first tme!
Every actress has a defining role and this is Toni Collette's. In fact casting for the entire film is spot-on.
We meet Muriel/Mariel, the ugly duckling who thinks a wedding (to anyone) will transform her into a swan; her dysunctional family, and barbie-doll "friends". Its hilarious from start to finish though a few scenes are my particular favourite. Who could forget her incredulous husband-to-be's face as she grins triumphantly down the aisle towards him; the Abba dance competetion of course; and the final trouncing of the Barbies ("but I'm beautiful!" squeals one).
With her gutsy friend and downtrdden, tragic mother, Muriel has us rooting for her all along so that finally we notice her warmth and lovely eyes and realise that against all odds she really has turned into a swan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible quality DVD, 12 Jul 2002

By	Bettina (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Great film (5 stars!) but shocking quality DVD. Awful picture quality and pan and scan - not even a widescreen version. Save your money or buy one from another region if you can.
