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

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!"

5 out of 5 stars Delightful froth, funny light comedy.......2007-05-08

This is a really funny movie! I remember clearly the day when my bf dragged me off to see it. I went along very reluctantly, because I have almost no interest in girls and what they do.

Twenty minutes later we were both falling in the aisles, and laughing hysterically!

This is a really funny movie!!

5 out of 5 stars Hilarious movie.......2007-01-11

I have watched this movie over and over and laugh so hard every time I watch it! It is so much fun!!

4 out of 5 stars Funny movie if you don't like, overthink it. Good portrayal of a High school reunion.......2006-12-07

I finally rented this one as a free rental to see what some of my collegues were laughing about, and it wasn't that bad. Althought parts were far fetched like landing a helicopter at the reunion, the movie itself is a funny reflection on High School and the Clicks that would develop...and Its a Movie, its meant to be over the top. At least Romy and Michelle were Happy through school and life, although clueless, and thats what matters. Worth watching at least once, but one I could see on the shelf of many homes.

5 out of 5 stars A classic on my feel-good shelf.......2006-09-08

Almost ten years after the fact, "Romy & Michelle" endures as one of those personal Top Ten Feel-Good Movies that can be watched over and over with any kid or teen in your family, much like "Mrs. Doubtfire." When all else fails....

As a matter of fact, my college-freshman niece is receiving for Xmas this year a brand-new copy of the DVD and a stamper that says, "Let's Fold Scarves"!! R&M created traditions for us!

5 out of 5 stars "Mono was, like, the best diet ever...".......2006-08-25

Love that quote. I actually had mono in college and lost about 10 pounds, but I wouldn't recommend it as a diet. Anyway, my college roommate and I would watch this movie when fighting stress, trying to hide from stupid people at college, and for relaxation (which means that we watched it about every other week). A most necessary escapism!

The opening scene, in which R & M are making fun of "Pretty Woman" ("As if the salesgirls there aren't bigger whores than she is"...."i get so happy when they let her shop!") is pretty much evocative of the whole movie - comparing themselves with other women, shopping for jobs and men.

Another great scene is when they're at the club, looking for suitable men, and Romy gets away from one guy with the excuse, "I cut my foot before, and my shoe is filling up with blood."

A wonderful movie in general, especially for individualists who were never part of cliques, who despise people that still grade others with shallow high school hierarchy systems.

Laugh outloud funny, and Janeane Garafalo's character is a perfectly independent blend of bitterness, sarcasm, and bitchiness. "This dress exacerbates the genetic betrayal that is my legacy."

Especially enjoyed the 80s high school flashbacks. Dressing like Madonna for the prom, happily basking in their fashion skills and originality (but of course Billy had to ruin it). When one of the A-list crowd put the magnets on Romy's back, it was so tragic. As Michele said later, "You couldn't help that you had scoliosis!" Duh! Bullies who pick on people for traits that they cannot change should be dragged out into the street and shot (Garfield used to say that, I believe).

The reunion itself is both sad and a relief. The post-it notes lie was taken advantage of by the knocked-up Chrissy, who should be a laughingstock herself just for being pregnant and having a husband who's an alcoholic and manwhore (and who was never cute, in my opinion). Well, she does end up a laughingstock by the end of the movie, when the wind from the helicopter blows up her dress. Ha!

Also, Chrissy never satisfied her dreams of becoming a news anchorwoman/weatherwoman because of marrying early (which is rarely a smart idea), effectively forcing herself into a little hole - unlike Romy and Michele, who have lived as they wanted to live, have had fun even though they aren't "successful" in the eyes of the world.

    5 out of 5 stars Great!!.......2005-01-16

    Being that I went to High School during the era their reunion
    took place..this CD HIT HOME to me..alot of my favorite
    songs of the 80s.

    Music had more meaning then and made more sense :)

    5 out of 5 stars still makes me laugh and smile.......2004-12-11

    Okay so the movie isn't an epic tale, but, the music is still a quirky pick me up. So, pick it up!

    4 out of 5 stars Uhhhh..........2003-07-27

    Well, first off I would like to say how totally awesome this movie is. And then I will continue to say how this soundtrack, was really good...but...of course there's a but...it could have been better. I would have really liked to have heard "Time After Time". That is the perfict song. I was bummed to learn that the cd didn't have that song, but all in all, it was a great cd. I give it 4 stars...

    5 out of 5 stars Everybody Wang Chung Tonight.......2003-06-17

    This is one of the best CDs that has some of the most popular 80's songs on it. If you saw the movie and cherish the music of the 80's decade, then this is the CD for you. This CD features some of the greatest hits from groups such as, Bananarama, Tears for Fears, Wang Chung, Culture Club, and much more. My personal opinion of this soundtrack is that it is very upbeat, and will bring you back to the hip days of the 80's. If you enjoyed this CD, then check out Disc 2 of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion soundtrack.

    4 out of 5 stars um. . ........2003-06-03

    the music on this cd is great and all, but i was highly disappointed that they didn't include 'time after time'! they only played it twice in the film. . .
