The dad has to realise that he is to blame if the kids are ALL useless you know. I mean their mother is nice but she also seems 'slow' and put-upon and he's relying on her to do the whole job while he furthers his political career to make himself look better and feel better.
I don't like Muriel's eldest brother either. Why is HE smirking at Muriel at 00:38 when he sits around his parents' house all day as a man?
Why does Muriel want to be friends with that bunch of toxic, hateful bitches like that anyway? When I was in school, I hated the popular crowd. They were a bunch of shallow, prententious, narcissistic, plastic jerks who treated like shit anyone who wasn't in their precious exclusive clique. I considered it a badge of honor that I wasn't a part of their sorry group.
@bluecatky Those kind of people are weak and ignorant. They live a sheltered life and can't handle any problems. They also don't realize they will have to reap all they send out. So I pity them.
@bluecatky because she's desparate, she's unhappy in her own skin so you latch onto anyone "better that you" because negative attention is better than no attention. I know i was the Muriel in our school.
A wonderful example of how kids turn out when their parents are verbally abusive. They gravitate to abusive friends, they marry abusive spouses, etc.. Those 4 girls represent the very ones who tormented us all in high school. My heart breaks for the mother, such a tragic moment at her wedding when she is invisble to all. Thank God for Rhonda who finally tells her'Muriel, your not nothing!'
Muriel's "friends" were nasty, but I can't blame them for feeling creeped out after she followed them to Hibiscus Island after they made it clear they didn't want her hanging around with them. At this point Muriel was acting like a stalker.
I don't know if my sympathies are mis placed but I kinda feel sorry for the dad lol! He's worked really hard to provide for his family who essentially are lazy! I feel sorry for his wife though poor thing
Eventhough Bill is mean, at least he did something for his kids; bribe the police wit beer, pay fot the secretary diploma...His kids are the one who is lazy!
that dumb slut says to find friends on her own level like she found chook whos on her level! hes a bastard whos cheating with her best friend so what does that make her??
omg, if those were my friends and the treated me that way in a bar I would have slapped each one, one at a time! are you kidding me and those girls were whores anyway!! team muriel!!
@UnconfirmedBubblegum at dinner with business people the hesslops are again put down by dad, diedre offers muriel a job in her cosmetics company/ for drinks all the girls find out that chook cheated and they decide to go on holiday together instead of a honeymoon, but before they go they chuck muriel out of the group/ muriel gets a blank check from mom for cosmetics from her dad to do well in new job, but she takes it and follows girls to holiday much to their dismay.
That line Deirdre gives to the Asian businessmen about "their wives looking like geishas"....lordy, does she not know geishas are the equivalent of high-class prostitutes?
@holbrooke7-actually, Geishas don't sleep with their clients. There are some prostitutes who make themselves up to LOOK like geishas and will sleep with clients. But real geisha don't and are very expensive to hire for their conversation, dancing, playing music, etc. and you're not allowed to touch them in that way. Actually, most men can't afford to hire them.
But yeah, it was a weird comment for Deirdre to make!
@audgeyp Geisha do sleep with some of their clients, though not all - they tend to have one man, called the "danna," to whom they are a kind of mistress. The danna buys them things, pays their bills etc. They may have several danna over the course of a lifetime, though not at the same time.
Dannii2601-Oh yeah, I have heard of those. They pay for houses, clothes, expenses, everything. I guess what I meant was regular clients-ppl who hire them for entertainment. Geishas (the real ones) are not common escorts or prostitutes is what I meant.
my god those girls are such bitches!!!!! but muriel is a 100 times better than they are, i also love her mum, she's got such a pretty face, but her dad'd a prick
I hate people that are superficial and fake like those girls and I hate people that are popular and think there better than people that are different. They feel that since other people don't have the same interst as them they would see them as a loser, freak, or dork !! there's nothing wrong with being different. Your real friends are going to like you for who you are !! If you have to change your image in oder to be respected by that person, that person is not a real friend !!!
I feel so sorry for Muriel but even more sorry for her poor mother- she puts up with so much crap and she's treated like she's not even there. The family don't even realise she's their backbone :(
sraphael-Me, too. I always wondered what exactly was wrong with her mother. Did she have a mental illness of some sort or was she just emotionally vacant.?
@sraphael Why feel sorry for the mother? he was treating her and her kids like dog shit lol she was just a scared, weak woman that wouldnt stand up for herself and her family. even when he left them for whats her face she still wouldnt accept it. good job i say lol
my old man always use to put us kids down like that until i stood up to him then he left me alone i felt bad for doing it but i had too, part of growing up i guess ...
stuck up slag i hate lasses like that even tho there fit that one sat next to muriel is fit as fck but hate lasses like that coz u get girls like that horrible slags....poor muriel
The trouble is, fathers of that generation did not know how to deal with things. They were so caught up with what society put onto them as how they fitted into society as providers, that they forgot what was important to them...the people around them. But yes, it is sad they did not see their children in a better light.
I dont see how parents who dont encourage their kids and constantly put them down, then abuse them when theyre older for not accomplishing anything. Kids need a strong foundation to build on. If you have always been told youre useless, you believe it.
This is one of my most cherished movies of all time. I don't care how that makes people think of me. The entire cast is amazing, and I end up empathizing with everyone in the movie. They are mostly all alone in their unique plights. (Of course, care less about the Bitch Squad and Deidre.) Amazing and touching character development. Hilarious, zany. Toni Colette is amazing. I can't believe she managed to look this homely.
Toni had to gain 40 pounds for this movie. At the end, though, she looks like she'd lost about 20 of it. I think this was Toni's first movie. One of my all-time favorite movies, a girlfriend from New Zealand visited me, told me about it and we rented it and watched it together.
