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.

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