Plot
Socially awkward young Muriel Heslop is the target of ridicule by her shallow and snobbish friends, Tania, Cheryl, Janine and Nicole. A devoted ABBA fan, she often daydreams of a glamorous wedding to get her away from the dead-end beach town of Porpoise Spit and her domineering father Bill, a corrupt politician who constantly belittles his entire family. Muriel attends the wedding of Tania and Chook, during which she sees him and Nicole secretly having sex. Wedding guest Dianne, a department store detective, calls the police on Muriel for stealing the dress she is wearing, and they publicly escort Muriel out of the reception.
