This is one of my favorite scenes of all time for well-executed music. Muriel's Wedding has many ABBA songs play throughout the film, as they are Muriel's favorite band and the songs reflect how shes feeling/the mood of the scene. In this particular scene, Muriel has just connected with Rhonda on the holiday that the four nasty women told she couldn't come along with because she embarrasses them. The music reflects the mood perfectly, as the song about winning and defeated plays while Rhonda and Muriel bask in their new friendship while the four nasty women sulk because they found Nicole had been sleeping with Tanya's husband. The choreography and costumes is well-executed in this scene, as they are imitating ABBA's "Mamma Mia" music video almost shot for shot.
What makes this scene even more fun is earlier in the film these women tore Muriel down for listening to ABBA when everyone else listens to modern music. However, every single person (except these women) gets up and dances, loving every minute of Rhonda and Muriel's performance. This scene is very well executed and is definitely one of my favorites.
