 | Two best friends decided to lie in terms of how successful they are in order for them to have the courage to attend their high school reunion. Of course not everything goes as planned as their ridiculous post-it story didn't quite convince their former schoolmates.
The movie's plot may be thin not to mention that probably a third of the movie was a dream sequence. But it just works, especially if you're game with the movie. Probably because Mira Sorvino and especially Lisa Kudrow were perfect in a role they were so adept at playing.. Sorvino was more in your face with her attack on the comedy of the character. Kudrow on the other hand is more oblivious to her comedy that's why it's double as funny and as effective
There were some really funny lines (Romy on mono - "that's like the best diet ever"), some visually amusing scenes (watch out for the old version of Romy and Michele in the dream sequence and the infamous Time after Time dance sequence), and just some wacky ideas (working out on their high heels, the Mary and Rhoda fight)
Of its kind, the movie is really enjoyable. Who cares about plot when you got two appealing stars making fun of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

| Wow I had passed this movie up many times in the movie rentral store, but one day I decided to rent it. By the end, I had laughed my a** off and had found a new favorite movie, or atleast in my top five.
It's not just about two dumb girls, it's probably the dumbest girls ever who think that they're getting it and totally cutting edge. They think that their lifestyles are so impressive because they've moved to L.A., but really one is a cashier and the other is unemployed.
They plot out to hit their reunion and blow everybody away by telling them lies about how they are business women who invented post-its! This movie is amazingly funny and so impressice, worth watching! THe acting is great, the music is cool, and the whole movie is so awesome! |

| How can you not love this film? The unbelievably lovely and talented Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow play Romy and Michelle, high school galpals for life who decide to attend their ten-year reunion at Sagebrush High in Tucson.
Realizing that their lives aren't so exciting after all (as 28 year old unmarried roommates who work as cashiers when they work at all, and spend most of their nights out clubbing but going home alone together), the girls decide to make themselves over as businesswomen. Romy poses as the inventor of the Post-It Note. (Michelle picked the color yellow.)
It's a neat plan, but of course it gets fouled up by the "A" girls and mean ol' Jeaneane Garofalo who can't say a single sentence without at least three colorful one-syllable words in it. Having been exposed as goofy fakes, Romy and Michelle decide to be themselves (that is, as goofy fLakes), and steal the show.
The plot's more worked over than the girls will ever be (let us hope), and just as slender, but Sorvino and Kudrow are so endearing and obviously had such a good time being silly together on camera that the movie never lags. You just feel good at the end. It doesn't hurt that they are simply cuter than kittens, either.
Sit back and belly laugh! |

| Being a male, I would file this as my favorite guilty pleasure movie. However, looking at the movie at what it is, a very funny movie, which I've seen over 10 times. Excellent performances by both of my favorite actress Mira Sorivno and Lisa Kudrow (duh- look at my screen name!). Kudrow's performance in this movie is why I became a big fan of hers and respect as an artist and person. (notice that I used those words instead of "actress"). Totally underrated performance by both, even though this movie has been panned over the years. Worth a look. |
