Stephen (210 KP) rated Muriel's Wedding (1995) in Movies
Mar 1, 2019 (Updated Mar 2, 2019)
The film relies heavily on the music of ABBA (although many other artists feature, check out the soundtrack), and the life of ugly ducking Muriel Heslop (played by the always wonderful Toni Collette).
A truly modern fairytale, with a real heart and soul, this movie with have you laughing and crying, with outstanding performances from all the cast.
Highlights are the scene where Muriel and friend Rhonda perform ‘Waterloo’ at karaoke (timed PERFECTLY to blend in with the aftermath of Rhonda putting Muriel’s bitchy as hell, so called ‘friends’ in their place), and the scene when Muriel walks down the aisle to ‘I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do.’ I have to confess I cried tears of joy when that song started playing.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film that has left me feeling so euphoric after watching it, as rom coms go, this one sets the standard amazingly high. And the scene where Rhonda says: “Stick your drink up your arse, Tanya, I would rather swallow razor blades than drink with you” will make anyone who has ever been picked on cheer along.

It was an Amazing read. I was hooked from the first sentence. I enjoyed the unique way the story was told, and I felt like Paige every time she asked what happened next? It was a great story, even sad as it was, and I really enjoyed that it talked about something so real. As far as the writing style though, I did skim through some spots and only read the dialog because I was much more interested in Ava's story than in what drink or snack they were getting from the coffee shop girl next. Overall, I enjoyed the story though.
