Big laughs and hot stars make this a can't-miss comedy in the hilarious tradition of CLUELESS and DUMB AND DUMBER! Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow) are carefree party girls who reinvent themselves for their 10-year high school reunion. With new wardrobes and wild stories of success, they make a big impression ... until a former classmate Janeane Garofalo -- CLAY PIGEONS) blabs their real story to everyone! But that's when Romy and Michele let loose with a surprise of their own ... and outrageous results! Featuring a sizzling hit soundtrack of favorite hits from the '80s, it's the comedy treat The New York Times calls "cheerful, giddy fun!"
Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino play ditzy best friends who decide to attend their 10-year high school reunion, but they completely make over their styles and identities first in order to impress the people who tormented them. The two stars keep the film going despite various lapses and potholes in David Mirkin's direction and despite a sneaking sense that the idea can't sustain the length of an entire feature. A midsection dream sequence underscores the latter problem through blatant padding, but Sorvino and Kudrow--both of whom became established stars playing airheads on other projects--are worth the weaknesses. --Tom Keogh

It's like `Night at the Roxbury', only funnier...:
Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are a comedic dream team in `Romy and Michele's High School Reunion', a film that pits the two unlikely heroes against a slew of bullies from their past. Romy White and Michele Weinberger are content with their lives. They think of themselves as two cool chicks, but when they are faced with the prospect of seeing all their High School friends (and enemies) they realize that their lives are not that impressive after all. In a rash attempt to make themselves appear better... more info
EVEN MORE GREAT 80'S MUSIC!!!:
Not only is the movie hilarious but the original soundtrack is packed with great 80's hits. I NEVER KNEW that this part 2 "More Music..." even existed until I went on to Amazon.com to replace the original one. I'm an 80's DJ and when I found this one I had to get it with even more TOTALLY AWESOME 80's hits! I'm really glad I own it-thanks Amazon!!!
