Stick your drink up your a*se Tanya. I would rather swallow razor blades than drink with you. And by the way, I'm not alone. I'm with Muriel.
Toni Collette plays Muriel Heslop, a downtrodden, unmotivated dag in a family of of layabouts who live their lives solely through the reputation of their father, Councillor Bill Heslop (Bill Hunter, Priscilla, Finding Nemo and Tom White). Bill is a bitter man, living on past glories as a local councillor but never able to forget that he almost made it into State politics - if it wasn't for his lazy family and that damned postal vote (or so he believes). His bitterness is manifest by the way he treats his entire family. His wife and children are considered as useless, and his constant verbal abuse serves to constantly erode Muriel's self-worth.
By the time the film starts, the overweight and dowdy Muriel has been unemployed in the two years since leaving school (and secretarial college). Her only outlets in life are the bitchy clique of so-called friends who allow her to hang out with them, if only to provide a contrast to their overly made-up beauty, and her love of ABBA music. The only positive outcome she can foresee in her life is that she can find a man to love - and most importantly - marry her, and remove her from her repressed life in the coastal town of Porpoise Spit.
When she takes a trip to Hibiscus Island, funded by money she has illegally taken from Bill's bank account, she meets up with another girl from her old school. Rhonda Epinstalk (Rachel Griffiths) is the polar opposite of Muriel - outgoing, confident and attractive. Rhonda is one of the few people in the film who see Muriel's inner beauty, and the two form an immediate friendship. When the holiday comes to an end, Muriel's return to Porpoise Spit is short lived, and she travels to Sydney to share a flat with the irrepressible Rhonda. Will she be able to find herself in Sydney? More importantly for Muriel, will she be able to find a man to love her...and most importantly of all, will she be able to find the perfect wedding dress?
