Synopsis
Two dimwitted pals attempt to fib their way through their high school reunion with disastrous results in this bubbly comedy from David Mirkin, frequent director of the cult TV sitcom Get a Life!. Los Angeles dim-bulbs Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michelle (Lisa Kudrow) have been best friends since childhood. Their shared passions include shopping, club-hopping, and creating their own candy-colored fashions. When their tenth high school reunion looms, the friends realize that their lives are not impressive enough to cow the popular crowd that tormented them in their teen years. So Romy borrows a Jaguar, and the duo concocts a story about how they became top corporate executives by creating Post-It Notes. Once they are at the reunion, however, Romy and Michelle's scheme unravels. Saturnine classmate Heather (Janeane Garofalo), who really did make a fortune as an inventor, exposes their fraud, and the girls find themselves mocked again, by everyone except Sandy Frink (Alan Cumming), a nerd millionaire with a lingering crush on Michelle. Kudrow reprised the role of Michelle from her late 1980s stage performance in the play Ladies' Room by Robin Schiff, who expanded both the play and the part of Michelle for the feature film version. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Accepting and Changing Circumstances?
July 24, 2015Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is a movie centered around two Los Angeles area residents Michele Weinberger (Lisa Kudrow) and Romy White (Mira Sorvino). Both of them are in their late 20’s and become concerned about what they have done with their lives after Michele encounters a former classmate named Heather Mooney (Janeane Garofalo). Heather Mooney is doing well for herself on a financial level and influences Romy White to think about her own life after an encounter at work (Heather was one of Romy’s customers at a car dealership). In addition, Romy finds out about the upcoming high school reunion and decides (along with Michele) that they are going to make an attempt to go. However, as they look and reminisce on their lives via a yearbook, both women realize that they want to try to make some changes before the reunion in order to get back at how they feel they were perceived in high school. I admit that I’m a high school graduate of the class of 2000 and honestly did not attend my ten year high school reunion and I’m truthfully unsure about whether I would actually go to my 20 year high school reunion (regardless of how my life turns out, even though I’m proud of both where I came from and graduated high school from). However, this movie did inspire and remind me to begin now to choose carefully on how I want my life to unfold and change for the better within five years from now (by the summer of 2020 at the latest). The following are some of the other multiple actors/actresses associated with Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion; Camryn Manheim, Alan Cumming, Julia Campbell, Mia Cottet, Kristin Bauer, Elaine Hendrix, Vincent Ventresca, Justin Theroux, Jacob Vargas etc. There are multiple popular songs featured in the Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion film such as; I Want Candy by BowWow, She Blinded Me With Science by Oingo Boingo, Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung, Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer, Footloose by Kenny Loggins, Karma Chameleon by Boy George, Don’t Get Me Wrong by The Pretenders, Venus by Bananarama, and more songs featured in the movie.

Everyone knows what its like to want to make old classmates envious at a reunion...particularly if you weren't the most popular in high school. This movie offers a hilarious take on what two, seemingly unsuccessful, women will do to finally be popular. A great story about friendship and empowerment!
