When they start down the aisle everyone just seems to be smiling to see a young woman so clearly and obviously happy to be there. Then as they get further down everyone seems to be looking at her in distaste.

I felt so deeply fornher mother

Oh my gosh, l really felt for that woman, heart wrenching. I had a stone in my chest for an hour after that scene, all her scenes actually..brilliant actress.

i'm sorry how is this a comedy? it's a great movie but it's nearly two hours of feeling fucking miserable

The grooms 😳 face and Muriel’s big fat smile makes the scene for me LMFAOOOOO

What a movie ❤

Love this 😁

Why were people judging her?

that dude at 0:33 😂😂😂😂😂

David never actually loved her anyway

Yez I felt sorry her mum.she got did dirty I actually liked the mum her dad was scum

Le seul film de ma vie j'ai 66 ans

I love the stunned looks on the guests faces 😂😂😂

Everyone stunning. Toni's Muriel can't contain her delight - her wish fulfillment realised at last. The bridesmaids led by Sophie Lee with their comic-awkward march up the aisle. The underrated subtle comedy of Daniel Lapaine's David and his dumbstruck reactions gets me every time. And as throughout the movie, all undercut by the tragic story of Muriel's mother. It's all genius.

Hubby and I walked out of the Registry office to that same song - I loved that scene and thought it was genius so promised myself I would do the same. Got a lot of laughs!!

Where can I watch this movie?

Choosing a life of perfect falsehood to escape a life where the present ego is not recognized, her laughter is closer to tears because she knows better than anyone else that it is actually just a sandcastle. That's why this movie is such a great movie, and it allows me to see what is really important to my life.

Don’t one of the patrons at beginning look like Tony Danza? 0:34

Had greatest hits package on vinyl later CD dropped out of the music industry shamed but don't blame them

one of the most terrible scenes in this wonderful movie

I’m still wondering how Tony Danza ended up in this movie. 😂😂😂😂

The only person I felt any sympathy for in this movie was the poor mother. This movie was supposed to be a comedy, or maybe a "black" comedy but I thought it was terribly depressing and heartbreaking due to what happens to the poor mother.

AISLE NOT ISLE!

Poor mum llhow could this happen bledding husband😢😢😢😢

The poor mother, she is just broken. So so sad.

For me, everyone’s faces when the music started makes me laugh almost 30 years on

Who's feeling terrible for the groom.

Actorazos todos

Literally the best movie of all time, I absolutely love it, I must of watched hundreds of times!!! I love Toni Colette! ❤ (Ah the mother at the end, it breaks my heart!)

This scene is hysterical, especially everyone's faces.

All yours mate!

My heart breaks all over again every time I see muriel walk past her mother in the church

The Mom showing up late and missing the wedding is maybe one of the most gut-wrenching things I have ever seen in a film

His face is so darn funny!

EPIC FILM.

Ugh this is my fav movie

One of my favorite movies. I love how everyone has no smile on their face except her.

I like to think that none of the actors knew that awful song was going to start playing and it was all genuine shock and horror LOL

1:06 gay panic

Nothing better than Kathy Dooley shaking her groove thing, most guys were into Debbie Harry or the Abba girls, not me Kathy wins every time

Muriel wanted to get married so badly because it represented being rescued from her horrible life, and she was *obsessed* with the idea of a wedding because she’d finally feel seen. That’s why this is so heartbreaking, because she thinks she’s no longer invisible, but everyone is looking at her with judgment, and she doesn’t even realize she’s ignored her mother and best friend.

Toni Colette is magnificent in this ! The accomplished, slightly manic, unnerving grin. The barely supressed giggles. The borderline psychotic squeaks of glee. I LOVE this movie. And ABBA, obviously.

Love the church since with the song I do lol

Not as good as my aisle walk, which was 'ever fallen in love' by the buzzcocks and the prodigy 'one love'!!!

Does anyone know which streaming service this movie is available on in Canada?

it is a brilliant yet darkly funny tale about getting what you want. and it not turning they way you expect. all the actors in it play selfish people. it has a great cast. the late great actor BIll Hunter was outstanding as loathsome, repulsive Head of the Family as was the actress who played Muriels Mom. everytime you saw her your heartbroke for her, stuck in doors married to her Horrible poltician husband.

I get it that its her wedding and she’s overwhelmed but how could she just walk past her mom without even noticing her not even havin picture with her sooooo sad

LOVE this film😘

Every actor was perfectly cast, all of them absolutely believable. The best comedies have a touch of pathos, and what is sadder that Muriel's mum being ignored?

Toni Collette: she's ✨ABSOLUTELY✨ ✨ FABULOUS ✨!
