Product Description
Its hilarious fun when two carefree babes reinvent themselves to impress their classmates at their high school reunion. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 01/25/2005 Starring: Mira Sorvino Lisa Kudrow Run time: 92 minutes Rating: R
Amazon.com
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... September 12, 2008
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 than they really are they concoct a plan to deceive their entire graduating class, telling them that they invented post-its. Of course, as is to be expected, their facade will not last, but in the end they triumph as their inner person is found to be more desirable than that of their former acquaintances.
The films likeability hinges drastically on the comedic timing of the two leads, both of whom sell their characters brilliantly. Kudrow is arguably the most effective of the two, her `Phoebe' brand of humor in full force here and proves that if any of the `Friends' cast mates should have received a `spin-off' it should have been Kudrow. Sorvino, complete with that gruff manly voice, is also a comedic force, playing to Kudrow's strengths brilliantly. This is not a smart comedy by any means, but the acting of these two is very smart for they help make these simple cliched characters feel fresh and new to us. Janeane Garofalo is also hysterical here, delivering a brilliantly satirical supporting performance.
The film is a constant barrage of jokes that land for the most part (and the script is littered with quotable lines) and this helps take the simple plot to another level. One may worry that the films running time would be too much for the flimsy plot to handle, but in the end one almost wishes that the running time were a tad longer since Sorvino and Kudrow are so funny. That and the killer soundtrack make this one of those experiences you don't want to see end.
`Romy and Michele's High School Reunion' is predictable, but it's a fun type of predictable (much like the recent `Baby Mama'). It is truly a moment when predictability is very welcome.
Besides, who can hate this movie after watching that brilliantly choreographed interpretive dance routine?
EVEN MORE GREAT 80'S MUSIC!!! August 17, 2008
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!!!
Hillarious story May 30, 2008
I bought this video after I saw the film on ABC. All I can say is, you will watch it over and over again. It is really funny beyond believe.
