| Muriel's Wedding, Sept. 19, 7pm |
Muriel's Wedding, written and directed by P.J. Hogan, features Toni Collette as Muriel Hyslop. Muriel is belittled by her family and so-called friends in her hometown of Porpoise Spit, Australia until a new friend shakes things up. Muriel changes her name to Mariel and moves to Sydney with a dream of marriage. This humorous and biting film takes beauty and marriage myths to task and gives viewers an ugly duck story with a smart happy ending.
Plus, there's ABBA.
1995, 106 minutes. |
