Muriel's Wedding (15)

★★★★ This Abba-fuelled rom-com about a wedding-obsessed wallflower yearning to break free from her small-town life marked a high point in ‘Aussie wave’ cinema. ~ The Times.

The 1995 classic returns to UK and Irish Cinemas this Spring to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Socially awkward Muriel Heslop (Toni Collette) wants nothing more than to get married.

Unfortunately, thanks to her oppressive politician father (Bill Hunter), Muriel has never even been on a date.

Ostracised by her more socially adept friends, Muriel runs into fellow outcast Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths), and the two move from their nowhere town of Porpoise Spit to the big city of Sydney, where Muriel begins the arduous task of redesigning her life to match her fantasies.

★★★★★ Toni Collette is outstanding in the film that brought Abba back. PJ Hogan’s 1994 story of a lovable loser was the feelgood sensation that rescued the band’s reputation – how can you resist it? ~ The Guardian.

★★★★ This hugely influential feel-good comedy did more than launch its unknown female leads into international stardom. It also alerted Hollywood to the astonishing reservoir of untapped talent that lay in Australia's vibrant film industry. ~ BBC.
