A pair of none-too-bright best girl friends, ashamed to go to their ten-year high school reunion with nothing to show for the past decade, decide to exorcise their teenage demons by showing up at the bash and pretending they've come a long way, baby.

  • 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 (Academy Award(R)-winner Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Emmy Award-winner 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 -- DOGMA) 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!"

    I just can't resist stories about misfits, even as slight and forgettable as this one.

    It’s not stupid. It’s adorable. There’s a difference.

    Hilarious comedy about the challenges of friendship and the yearning all of us have to find something to do that is fun and fulfilling.
