I wish that I could just up and leave my family. I guess because of my personality and the way they are so needy and dependent, it kind of caused my set back in my life. Sometimes I feel like I could just run away.
I'm a guy, I'm gay but I can completely relate to Muriel's life in so many levels, her dad and mine have the send mind setting! It's so horrible some parents would tell their kids they're worthless and useless!
My heart breaks for poor Muriel's downbeaten mother, Betty. Everyone was so good in this film. Not a weak performance or weak role in the entire film.
since Muriel's Wedding, Rachael has gone on to do Blow with Johnny Depp, The Rookie with Dennis Quaid. gave such as an unbelievable performance as Brenda in Six Feet Under, and is currently Sara in Brothers in Sisters
@Madamow --I think she also did "My Best Friend's Wedding," with Julia Roberts. She (Rachel) and Toni became very good friends during the filming of "Muriel's Wedding," and they are fantastic actresses!
I remember when I saw this film in the theater in Atlanta. It was filled with gay men and a couple of black women and they all totally got the movie. They cheered when Muriel got back in the taxi and moved to Sydney.
Toni looks so pretty in her transformation (shown first at the video store). Not that all the focus on appearance should matter...I'm just saying. God this movie is so amazing...a very rich script with a lot of underlying themes. I love it!
not that it matters, but Toni isn't even fat here. Just goes to show. Anyway, I wish I had a friend like Rhonda, too. I guess I will just have to go on a tropical vacation or something.
I read somewhere that Toni Colette and Rachel Griffiths became great friends during filming and still are. Hope that's true, they worked so well together and it showed in this wonderful movie.
@AdArmand I know. Well, my best friend is pretty cool. We laugh like crazy, but we had one bad year where we stopped talking. And he's not as reliable as Rhonda. But no one's perfect.
you really do feel for her mum.
