Review of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997) by Deb S — 10 Jun 2010
Romy and Michele were losers in high school, and not much has changed in the ten years since. They live in a trashy apartment, with no jobs, no boyfriends, and no sense of fashion. Romy is ashamed of their life and forces Michele to join her in a maniacal plan to lose weight and find boyfriends and great jobs. However with the reunion looming, she decides that with no prospects, they'll have to improvise.
Armed with business suits, cell phones, and a story about inventing post-its, they take the reunion by storm under the guise of successful businesswomen. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are an excellent match-up, believable as best friends.
Inevitably, they are exposed, and learn that the most important thing is that they remain true to themselves. I would be lying if I said that it was a classic, but thanks to some good acting, and very well judged humor it manages to amuse.
