The movie is very funny, I had many laughs at the more dim of the two (the stereotypical dumb blonde) Michele. What's nice about the film is the way it accentuates what true friendship really means, standing by one another. The two went from being the fat girl (Romy) & the girl with the back brace (Michele) to being two attractive fun-loving women. The lesson the pair learn is to be yourself & be proud of who you are. Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are perfectly cast in this film, as are all of the other characters (including extras - which is unusual). As well as a great script though, this film also has great music. If you like 80's music then this film is for you, as it features throughout the entire film.Yes, it was over the top. Yes, it was predictable. But Janeane Garofalo's performance made this movie worth buying. I loved how Romy and Michele seemed to be completely oblivious to their own personal lack of accomplishments. The fashion/costume design is delightfully tacky, and there's a sweet message at the end. I also think this was Lisa Kudrow's best performance in all the movies she's ever done and was even more impressive than her ditsy Phoebe Buffay character on "FRIENDS". The film is not meant to be very serious, so don't expect a script that reflects with 100% accuracy the daily lives of people. This is meant to be as a funny story of two people to entertain the viewer and I believe it's quite successful in doing that. Get some snacks, get your favorite drink and start watching to see who invented Post-Its!Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

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.

Lisa Kudrow brings her Phoebe from Friends character to this movie. A great comedy all round. The whole story of a High School reunion is well played out - and features all the highs and lows of attending one!!! Fortunately I avoid them like the plague as they are really quite an ordeal. This movie gives you all the reasons why you should avoid them - in a very comedic way!!! If you don't enjoy the Phoebe character from Friends, you should steer clear of this one. Romy and Michele are like a pair of Phoebe twins. So you know what level of humor to expect.This movie is very easy on the senses and is to be taken purely at face value as a comedy. Sit back and enjoy! It plays on TV pretty regularly so it's easy to find.

i really don't like this movie as the rating you just saw me give it on the top of this review. Of course everyone expected this movie to stupid and believe me i did. But just because i expect something from a movie doesn't mean i will like it. I don't know her real name cause i don't care to even bother but she is known as Phoebe from the hit TV series Friends.I only allow stupidness in movies if its funny but this is not the funny kind as you can see.I could see how this movie would attract a lot of woman but i am a male and i don't like this stuff. Maybe there is another movie like this out in the world. But if there is i hope i never see it. I hope i have made it very clear that i don't like this film and i hope to never see it again. I give this film a F
