Directed by P. J. Hogan • 1994 • Australia
Starring Toni Collette, Bill Hunter, Rachel Griffiths
The perfect marriage of feel-good comedy and heartfelt drama, MURIEL’S WEDDING is the beloved Australian hit that launched the careers of Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths and put ABBA back on the charts years before “Mamma Mia” was a musical. Small-town girl Muriel (Collette) spends every day alone in her room listening to ABBA and dreaming of her wedding day. Slight problem: Muriel has never had a date. When she finds the courage to leave on a tropical vacation, she meets a wacky new friend, changes her name to Mariel, and turns her world upside down.
