Summary: Higher appreciation for those low on the social ladder
Review: This movie was so funny, after I saw it, I knew I had to own it. It's good whether you're a girl or a guy, and if you like 80s music, it has an awesome soundtrack. It really shines light on the underdog in high schoool, and the best part is when Mira Sorvino tells off the nasty girl that she hates so much.

Summary: What A Funny Movie!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out on video and thought it was funny then. Now, as I approach my own 10th year high school reunion, I watched it again. I think this movie has gotten better. While parts of the movie has obvious cliches, it still makes you lugh and think about your own classmates and how they are post-high school. And it clearly gives the message - be yourself!

Summary: Maybe superficial but also insightful
Review: Romy and Michele make such engaging and wonderful couple, they carry the movie very smoothly to the end. They are almost genious. The plot is simple, the characters are stereotypical and the events are somewhat perdictable. So what? They don't make the movie any worse but even better. You don't need complicated storyline and supernatural heroes to make a good movie. Romy and Michele's straight-forward characters not only entertain the audience but give us deeper lessons and feelings, too. You don't have to be ashamed of who you are but be yourself and face your problems no matter how others may judge you. Their courage gets rewarded and there are emotional instances when they realize that there are other important things in life than career and money. You get the sense of life that it is not worth living if you are not going to have fun anyway.

Summary: Great Fun and Cool Soundtrack
Review: If you are a fan of so called "girl movies" you will love ROMY AND MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. It stars Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, who play Romy and Michele respectively. They receive an invitation to their 10 year high school reunion. Through "flashbacks" we see what they were like in high school, as well as a bunch of other characters like Heather, Sandy, and more. Romy and Michele don't have any boyfriends, and Michele isn't working. Once they start doing their forms for the reunion to see what they've been up to, they realize their lives aren't very impressive and decide to do something about it. They devise a plan and say that they invented Post It Notes. Romy & Michele have a falling out on the road trip there, and a weird dream ensues. Back to reality, at the reunion, dressed as business woman, they are laughed out of the place when their lie is uncovered by Heather. Romy & Michele make up and are friends again, and decide to have fun nonetheless. They realize it doesn't matter what anyone thought of them, that they had fun with each other nonetheless. They come in their own flashy outfits that their peers would have remembered them in, and ultimately take the place by storm and show up everyone who did them wrong in high school. Michele finally hooks up with Sandy, who had a crush on her in high school, Romy sets her crush straight, and they go back to live a fabulous life in LA where they own their own fashion store. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow were made for these roles, it's truly a great movie for laughs and smiles. Oh and the soundtrack for the movie is excellent, 80's classics! Overall a real treat you must see!

Summary: Cute and Funny!!!!
Review: A deliciously cast screw-ball comedy, the film tells the story of ditzy best friends Romy and Michele (wonderfully played by nd Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow) who decide to attend their 10-year high school reunion, but try to impress the former classmates who tormented them by completely making over themselves and their personalities. The two stars keep the film moving along, despite the various lapses in David Mirkin's direction, and the weird suspicion that the cute idea can't sustain a full-length feature film. (Proven by the lenghy mid-dream sequence). However, Sorvino and Kudrow are definitely worth seeing the film for. They know their characters, and become them, making these unbelievable women totally real. The supporting cast include the always wonderful Alan Cumming, Camryn Manheim, and Janeane Garofalo as a vicious, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed former classmate, who has some amazingly funny lines, and proves to be one of the better characters in the film. The 80's soundtrack just adds to the feel (and the fun). It is meant to me a fluffy, light, and funny film, and it totally succeeds on that level. This movie defines Guilty Pleasure! Perfect for a boring Sunday afternoon.

Review: I LOVE this movie- I don't know how many times I've watched this movie- but I know that EVERY time I laugh myself silly-Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are HILARIOUS as the ditzy duo, a great supporting cast (Janeane Garafalo and Catherine Manheim), quick witty script- I didn't care much for the dance number though- I always flip through that- but everything else is classic- this movie is a must have-

Summary: Cute and airy on surface
Review: This movie is very cute, and airy on the surface, but it also illustrates the cruelty of high school. (If you don't recognize and remember this cruelty from your own high school, you WERE one of the cruel ones!) There is more to this film than you may wish to see. Or, you can just enjoy it for the fun on the surface. Romy and Michele don't seem to have progressed far since their high school days, so they invent fake lives. Of course, when you invent a whole new life on little notice, there are bound to be holes, and you are bound to get caught, as they are. There are charming sequences from the heads of both women, of how they hope things will go. By the end, if you step back and look, Romy and Michele have gone through quite a bit of growth. When you look at some of the people who were on the most likely to succeed, you can see that they simply stagnated. Those often labeled as most likely to succeed are those who peak in high school. It must be a sad fate to have the high point of your life so early. It was great to see some of what had been the popular clique outgrow their previous friends, and see the merits of those previously 'below them'. This is a fun movie if you are already out of school, and may give some hope to those still in the grueling experience of high school. Life does get better, once you are outside of that artificial world of school.

Summary: Great laughs
Review: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion follows the lives of best friends, Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow). It has been 10 years since high school and the two live together and are still best friends. They think they have the perfect lives until they decide to attend their high school reunion. When they take stock in their current lives, they realize that they haven't done anything spectacular. The two devise a plan to make themselves look smart and successful to show up the popular girls who made their high school years miserable. Everything seems okay, until the two have a falling out during their drive to the reunion. Great laughs to keep you entertained. This is a great recommendation for anyone who was an outcast in high school and longs for revenge on their tormenters.
