Trivia

Goofs
When Muriel is trying on a wedding dress in the shop, and is admiring it in the full-length mirror, to the right in the mirror, you can clearly see a crewmember standing there, before quickly darting out of the reflection.

Quotes
Muriel: When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I've met you and moved to Sydney, I haven't listened to one Abba song. That's because my life is as good as an Abba song. It's as good as Dancing Queen.

Alternate versions
The theatrical release clearly showed a woman dressed as Wonder Woman and a man dressed as Robin during the talent show scene when Muriel and Rhonda are presented with the over-sized check and champagne. In the DVD/video release, Robin is only partly shown and Wonder Woman is not shown at all.

One of the best movies ever!

I saw this film a thousand times and I have always loved it! Originally I watched this movie because I'm a big ABBA fan, but I found out it's not all about ABBA!

This film makes you feel happy and sad at the same time. The acting is superb, especially the mother of the main character.

Just great!
