Must See Movie...
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow star in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" from 1997. The two are best friends and, when they hear their 10th year high school reunion is coming up, decide to attend and show all the mean girls how well they've done. Except they haven't. They have two weeks to get boyfriends and decent jobs. "If it was so easy to do, why haven't we done it already?" Michele (Kudrow) asks.Both of them decide to say they invented post-its, apparently not planning on talking to the same people. Michele negotiates with a friend for a halfway decent car, and the two take off. At the reunion is someone Romy (Sorvino) recently ran into, Heather Mooney (Janeane Garofalo), a sarcastic, tough individual who was madly in love with a boy, Sandy Frink (Alan Cumming) who was crazy about Michele. She never gave him the time of day. Heather really has invented something, a paper that goes around the fast-burning cigarette.Very cute movie with wonderful performances by the leads, Kudrow as the clueless Michele, who never actually knew she was out with the out crowd; and Sorvino as Romy, who learns that Michele thought of her as Rhoda while she, in her mind, was Mary - "why aren't you Rhoda? You're Jewish," Romy complains. A huge fight ensues.Others in the cast include Julia Campbell, Camryn Manheim, Justin Theroux, and Kristin Bauer van Straten.In the end the women learn there's nothing wrong at all with who they are and that they are, in fact, pretty fantastic and good- looking to boot. I liked it because the writers didn't beat us over the head with this "lesson," it's just what happens in the story, as does the discovery of a talent they didn't realize they had.The tenth year high school reunion would make these people 28, but in reality, with the exception of 30-year-old Sorvino, the actors are all in their mid-thirties. Interestingly, if it were made today, I think the actors would be the right age - the business has changed quite a bit since "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" was made.
This is a perfect friendship movie to sit down with a big bucket of popcorn and watch. I absolutely adore friendship films, and I love 80's music and nostalgia, which is what you get here. The script is hilarious and the funny lines are delivered very well by the stars. The casting is also well done, Lisa kudrow was amazing! The characters are funny, sweet, and likable. This film will make you laugh, cry, and will just make you feel good. Everyone needs a nice feel good movie every once in a while :). The soundtrack is so great in this movie as well. I loved hearing all the 80's songs here: Heaven is a place on earth, Footloose, time after time........ The list goes on and on really. This is not a family friendly film, but it's not meant to be, it's meant for teens and adults, and it caters to that exact audience very well in my opinion. Very cute and enjoyable film about best friends. 9/10.
I wasn't expecting much from this movie (and maybe that is part of the reason why I was so impressed with it) but I ended up enjoying it a lot and even laughing out loud a few times. I thought the two leads were both very good.It's nothing special and the characters and story aren't that "deep" but for what it is, a silly "desperate to impress people at a high school reunion" comedy, it's a lot of fun. Not a big fan of Friends and never have been, but Lisa Kudrow is really funny in this, and so is the other star (whose name escapes me).They're basically not very bright, materialistic, and only really care about themselves and each other. But their high school enemies are even worse, and they end up better people by the end. Not much of an arc but good enough.If you're looking for some simple laughs you can do a lot worse than this underrated movie.
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion mayn't be the best movie I have ever seen, but sitting down to watch it I wasn't expecting that. Just a fun charming movie and that is exactly what I got, a perfect way to get my mind off my sprained ankle. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is not a complete masterpiece, the film does have an engaging story but is occasionally too plot heavy, and I would also have loved to seen the girls be themselves more. Criticisms aside, it looks good, with colourful locations and fashions, and the soundtrack is the very definition of cool, not to mention nostalgic. The script is funny and smart, the two main characters especially engage and the direction is efficient. I loved the performances. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are just great and have such an easy-going chemistry. Of the support cast, I was most impressed with Camryn Manheim who steals all her scenes. Alan Cumming is also endearing with great comic timing, and Janeanne Garofalo relishes her role if over-doing it just a tad at times. Overall, a nice, fun movie that never tries to be anything more than it is. 8/10 Bethany Cox
