Customer Reviews of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, awesome pairing. They made Romy & Michelle. This film could have seriously gone off the annoying bend, but it doesn't. It stays on a good track the entire time. A very hilarious track. Kudrow and Sorvino were awesome as the titular characters. They're interaction was great, and Kudrow's present air-headedness role is always a hoot. Janeane Gurafolo is a nice unpleasant character with many humorous lines that she gracefully pulled off. The woman never ceases to entertain. Alan Cummings plays an Alan Cummings role. I always like him in movies.

The DVD isn't something to cheer about. Although the film is great enough, I wish a few more extras could have been spared. But taking note that the movie didn't necessarily come out when DVD hit its prime, it's okay for the lack of extras. What really would be great is an audio commentary from Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino. I say "Special Edition!"

Fun and silly
"Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" is a classic "dumb blonde" comedy about two high school best friends who have spent their whole lives together. When they hear about their ten year high school reunion, they are forced to think about their lives and are surprised to find that they have nothing impressive to share. Because of their new found void, they decided to invent a new exciting life to share with their former classmates. They place themselves in a life of wealth and success to impress everyone at the reunion. When they arrive, all prepared to fake their way to acceptance, they realize that there is one person there who knows their real situation. By creating a fake but "better" life they think that they will be more accepted by their peers than they were in the past. They struggle to keep their old lives a secret and to let their new concocted lives stun the others.
This movie is a classic representation of the blonde stereotype displaying the pairs' hilarious mishaps and brainless actions. They are depicted as having the very typical passions of shopping, club-hopping, and creating their own fashions. They try to throw all of this away and take on the role of the rich and successful business woman but later realize that it is not worth faking because the lives they live are just as good and even better. The movie evolves around the all too common and (very sadly) realistic theme of impressing others by advancing their economic stance and success.
Overall, it is a fun comedy. Lisa Kudrow is perfect in her role and she makes it all the more ridiculous.

AWESOME CHICK FLICK!!!! I LOVE this movie! It's about two best friends who go to their high school reunion to try to impress all their old classmates. They reunite with old flames, old crushes, and old allies. I love the part when they have a "tounge-lashing" with the ex cheerleaders. The dancing scene was weird, but funny. And the movie started with the most perfect song to get you in the mood for the flick: NO DOUBT's 'Just a Girl'. The movie has clever and witty jokes, and is filled with 80's music. Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe on 'FRIENDS') is awesome and really ditsy, Mira Sorvino ('Replacement Killers') is also very fresh and clever! This is anwesom movie for anyone!
