Movie Reviews of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
Movie Review: Ditzy Rules!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm going to reiterate what a previous reviewer stated and say I absoulutely love this movie. This isn't the end all or be all of high school reunion flicks but a gentle lampooning on the genre. To take it as some profound statement about going home again would do the film a disservice. The soundtrack here is impeccable. Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, two of the top comediennes of the previous decade, have chemistry to burn. To boot you have Alan Cumming, one of the great British funnymen, as the object of Kudrow's affection. Irresistable is an understatement.
Summary of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
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
