Muriel's Wedding is a 1994 Australian dramedy film written and directed by P. J. Hogan.

Hogan, whose screenplay incorporates a number of events in his own life, cast relatively unknown Toni Collette (who gained 18 kilograms (40 lb) for the role) and Rachel Griffiths in the lead roles. Collette was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and Griffiths won both the Australian Film Critics Award and the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The worldwide success of the film was instrumental in propelling the careers of the director and his stars.
