    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Joanie: You're terrible, Muriel.

    • Alternate versions
      The theatrical release clearly showed a woman dressed as Wonder Woman and a man dressed as Robin during the talent show scene when Muriel and Rhonda are presented with the over-sized check and champagne. In the DVD/video release, Robin is only partly shown and Wonder Woman is not shown at all.

    Fresh, Unique and Original!!
    After watched this movie in late of nineties and found it above average movie, many years this film was release on DVD here for an small label, today l re-watched it again this amazing movie about self respect, love, loyalty, contempt and mainly happiness, Toni Collette in your best role ever, gave to the movie a cult reputation, incredible funny sometimes and sadness too, supported by Abba soundtrack it's a really fresh and original movie from Australia.
