"Say Yes to the Dress" has nothing on the bride wannabe portrayed so in such a painstakingly honest and desperate way by Toni Collette. Add a little Abba music and you have one killer chick flick.

Hands down the most depressing movie I've ever seen, and coming from India, I've seen quite a few believe me...

This movie, criminally mis-advertised as some sort of rom-com, will pull you in a hundred directions, and simply does not offer any easy way out. All this, in a movie that features some of ABBA's frothiest hits.

In all, not a movie to be missed.

Australian films often have this dark whimsy to them. With Strictly Ballroom and Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, there's a tonne of sequins, but there's often sand or tanning lotion on them...

So is the tale of Muriel Hislop of Porpoise Spit, Australia, an awkward misfit of a girl, desperately trying to blend in and obsessed with two things: ABBA and getting married. It's like she's barely treading water in an over-chlorinated pool when she meets Rhonda, an old classmate, who inspires her to get out of Porpoise Spit and move to Sydney.

It's a story about trying to escape your past but told in such a charmingly bittersweet manner by the astounding Toni Collette who plays Muriel and director PJ Hogan who would go on to success in Hollywood.
