Romey and Michelle was a light comedy that didn't try to take itself to seriously. The jokes were tongue in check, surprisingly clean and intelligent. Not for the low brow crowd who love family guy.What it does best was showing that who you are in high school doesn't define you after you graduate and you can be anything you set your mind to. The kids who were picked on or considered the losers can become the true winners in the real world.I like that through it all they remain good friends who support and stand up for one another. It didn't back down by going down the romantic route we've seen a million times.Stay true to yourself and don't make up a false persona to impress people who aren't worth it.Critics may have missed it, but not the real fans who consider it a true classic.A movie like this only comes once in a blue moon. Don't miss out on the reunion of a life time.

OK ... it's NOT meant to be "Gone With the Wind" or even "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" but .. come on people ! This one is STOOOOOPID !!! to the extreme. Why I finished it, I have no idea... compulsive movie watcher, I suppose! Poor Lisa plays Phoebe again. Mira wonders if they will take her Academy Award back. The snotty girls are all just snotty tho' they do remind me of several posters on the Classic Film Board now that I think of it. The Vogue editor in her man's white suit .. shrug ! Garofolo and her cigarettes and swearing .. YAWN !It's just LAME and pointless even when it is not doing that on purpose.Alan Cumming's dance with both girls at the very end was the only really good scene and it was ... well ... ODD to say the least. The less said about this film the better. Give it a miss!

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.

Two women (Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sovino) get into a lot of trouble when they go to their high school reunion and lie about their lives after twelfth grade.This film is a win. It could not be called a "great" film and maybe not even a "good" film, but it sure is a lot of fun. From the 1980s music, to the outrageous outfits... and the very, very subtle references to "Scream" and "Pulp Fiction". I loved it all. And the guest stars: Alan Cumming, Camryn Manheim, Janeane Garofalo? Classy 90s, too.Although I have never and will never attend a reunion -- and I doubt this film accurately captures what a reunion is like -- I really had a lot of fun with Romy and Michele.
