Ahoy friends,
I am about to watch Muriel’s Wedding. Why this movie of all movies, you ask? Well, it is an Australian movie, and with a tag-line like…”she’s not just getting married, she’s getting even”…what girl wouldn’t wanna watch it?
I will let you know what I think about the movie in a about two hours time.
About 2 hours later….
I loved it! It’s even a movie a guy could like because Muriel/Mariel is hilarious with some classic quotes to boot. I don’t want to blab the whole movie away, but it is NOT the average Hollywood Rom-Com. So just go watch it, already.
My favourite quotes from Muriel’s Wedding:
Muriel: When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.
Rhonda: [regarding her tumor] How did I get it? I mean, it’s nothing to do with too much sex is it?
Muriel: I’m changing my name. To Mariel.
Joanie: You’re terrible, Muriel.
Mean Girls: We’ve told you a 1000 times how to do your hair, but you never listen. You’re fat, you wear the wrong clothes, you listen to 70’s music…THIS is the 90’s…we listen to The Baby Animals and Nirvana!
Rhonda: Are you married?
Muriel: What?
Rhonda: I just thought that since your name wasn’t Muriel Heslop anymore, you might have gotten married.
Muriel: No…I’m engaged!
Rhonda: Anyone I know?
Muriel: Tim.
Rhonda: Who?
Muriel: What?
Rhronda: Tim who?
Muriel: *Pauses* Sims…
Rhonda: Tim Sims? Dunno him… so what’s he like?
Muriel: Like…no one!
