Trivia:
The writer/director P.J. Hogan wanted to use the music of Abba in the film. At first, permission for the music to be used was denied. When the director promised to fly to Europe to plead his case to the founders of the band, permission was granted, as long as the band received a percentage of the film profits. The film turned out to be a big international hit, and thus helped inspire the very successful Broadway show which became the movie Mamma Mia! (2008). more

Another Great Reason To Watch This Film, 9 July 2007
10/10
Author: scootmandutoo from Long Island, New York

I would rank "Muriel's Wedding" in my 10 Best of all time, and just wanted to add one thing to the comments.

One of the great things about this movie is being able to watch Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths do star turns at the beginning of their careers. Colette was already a star in Australia, though unheard of elsewhere, but both of these amazing actresses demonstrate in this film the qualities that have shown them to be among the most accomplished and versatile actresses in film and television today.

One more thing, I caught Toni Colette doing a star turn in the Broadway musical "The Wild Party." This woman is a great musical performer. I would be willing to bet her band is terrific.
