Backbencher

This movie is about Muriel and how she feels useless in her life, and her supposable three friends turn on her and tell her that they don't want to be friends with her anymore because of how she dresses, looks, and how she doesn't do anything. Muriel ends up reuniting with a high school classmate and the two decide to move to Sydney and start their lives over. Muriel's only dream is to get married, and she ends up going to every bridal shop in town just to try on dresses (even though she has never dated a man before!) She ends up marrying a swimmer so that way he can compete for Australia in the Olympics. Then, when her life gets turned upside down, for one more time, she realizes that she needed to stop lying to everyone, and reunite with her best friend, Rhonda.
I thought that this movie was good. It had a lot of twisted humor in it, but what I liked about it was that it shows how by making a few changes in your life, you can change your life, and thus, change how you feel about yourself, as that is what happened to Muriel. This movie shows how a woman's only dream is to get married, and that way be happy. I feel that a lot of people all over the world feel that way, and by the end of the movie, Muriel realizes that you don't need to be married to be happy. All you need is family, and good friends. This movie, however, did not show me something about the life of Australians. It just shows how similar they are to the US and other nations.
