Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who's wedding did Muriel attend at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: Tania

The first couple of scenes are captured at Tania's wedding reception after marrying her high school sweetheart, Chook. Muriel is picked up by a store detective for shoplifting a dress that she wore to the wedding reception. Thankfully for Muriel, her father pays off the police officers with a case of beer.
2. While vacationing on Hibiscus Island, what song does Tania, Cheryl, Janine, and Nicole lip-sync to?

Answer: The Tide is High

All four performed "The Tide is High" by Blondie, but they did not win. Rhonda and Muriel won the talent show with their rendition of "Waterloo" by ABBA with Muriel as Agnetha and Rhonda as Frida.
3. Who does "Chook" say he is having an affair with?

Answer: Rose Biggs

Peter "Chook" Vernell, it turns out, is not only having an affair with Rose Biggs, but also with Nicole, Tania's best friend and Chook's wife!
4. What is the name of the video store Muriel works in while in Sydney?

Answer: Video Drama

Muriel (known as "Mariel" at this point in the movie) is employed at Video Drama, which is directly across the street from the dry cleaners where Rhonda works.
5. Which one of these was not a tagline for the movie?

Answer: Sometimes a name change is all a girl needs to find herself.

All of these taglines appeared on movie posters when "Muriel's Wedding" premiered in 1994 except, "Sometimes a name change is all a girl needs to find herself."
6. What type of drink is Muriel drinking when the girls want to break "the news" to her at the bar?

Answer: Orgasm

The "news" consists of Muriel's "friends" telling her that she is not cool enough to hang out with them anymore. They have told her time and time again how to do her hair, what clothes to wear, and how to do her make-up, but she apparently did not listen.

They were going to tell her after their trip to Hibiscus Island, but they decided to tell her so she would not try to go with them. Little did they know that she would end up there anyway.
7. What type of restaurants are the Heslops always eating in?

Answer: Chinese

Although they are shown eating at two different restaurants, the cuisine is always Chinese.
8. What ABBA song does Muriel/ Mariel walk down the aisle to?

Answer: I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do

Muriel's actual wedding starts off like any other wedding-- bridesmaids, father of the bride, the groom, etc., but as soon as Muriel's bridesmaids start taking their strides down the aisle, ABBA's "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" comes blaring from the speakers to the shock of every bridal guest and her future husband.
9. How does Betty, Muriel's mother, really die?

Answer: Taking sleeping pills

Although the "official" cause of death on the death certificate is said to be "heart attack", Joanie, Muriel's younger sister, found her with an empty bottle of sleeping pills next to her body. Deidre tells Muriel that her mother "made the ultimate sacrifice" for her father after Muriel stole her family's life savings.
10. Of the $12,000 Muriel stole from her family, how much does she actually pay her father back at the end of the movie?

Answer: $5000

After getting paid $10,000 by David Van Arckle's parents after their marriage, she gives her father $5000 of what she owes them and tells him that she will send the rest once she gets back to Sydney and gets another job. She tells him it is up to him to raise the kids now, and that they aren't, and never were, "useless".
