On today's episode, we're leaving Porpoise Spit behind and picking up a shift or two at Videodrama, while I revisit an absolutely classic example of Australian cinema, Muriel's Wedding (1994). This movie was written and directed by PJ Hogan (who also directed My Best Friend's Wedding).
This movie stars Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense, Hereditary, United States of Tara), Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under, My Best Friend's Wedding, When We Rise), and Bill Hunter (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, Strictly Ballroom)
PJ Hogan has stated that this is the saddest comedy that you'll ever watch, and I'll at least confess that you'll have some strong feelings while watching this film. If you are at all a fan of any of the lead actors in this movie, do yourself a favor and RSVP to Muriel's Wedding!!
