In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

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.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I like the basic plot of this movie: two friends go to their high school reunion. They are confronted with old fears and feelings and decide to lie to their former classmates about their success in life. It's common to go to these events and find out that the geeks are still geeks, and the mean girls are still mean girls, and to reflect on how you wish things had turned out differently. As the leads, Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are both likeable and their friendship is convincingly portrayed, but I don't know if having them both as blonde ditzy characters works. It makes the movie a little too lightweight and their issues are too similar. As the school rebel, the character Heather, played by Jeneane Garofalo, does have a very interesting character - unlike Romy and Michele she is so non-conforming and so different that you wonder why she bothered to go to the reunion. I guess it's so she can stand at the edge of the event and provide an acidic commentary and counter-point to the sugary, utterly fake festivities. Which she does do, very well. The cowboy character, who would smoke with Heather at high school but never used to utter a word to her, was amusing. At the reunion Heather doesn't seem very sympathetic to his explanation of how he used to behave, but he doesn't seem to mind. Almost ruining the movie, for me, were the three "mean girl" characters. I know this is a light comedy, but they were almost cartoon characters they were so stereotyped. They were too predictable. In the end there are no surprises from the movie. It didn't strive to be anything other than a bubbly soap opera. This was disappointing, because Kudrow, Sorvino and Garofalo are all intelligent women and probably deserved a better movie.

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!

Romy White (Mira Sorvino) and Michele Weinberger (Lisa Kudrow) are dim-witted blonde best friends in L.A. Romy runs into her high school classmate Heather Mooney (Janeane Garofalo) who is now wealthy with news of the upcoming Sagebrush High School 10th year reunion in Tuscon. The girls decide to go but then they realize that they are not as successful as they thought they were. Despite their best efforts, two weeks are not enough and they decide to lie about their lives. When the girls were in high school, they were picked on by popular mean girl Christy Masters. Romy was in love with Christy's boyfriend Billy Christianson and they played a trick on Romy. Michele was in a back brace. Mooney was secretly in love with fellow geek Sandy Frink but he was in love with Michele.Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow have both played iconic dim-witted blonds. In this movie, they pull together their performances and it's a wonderful pairing. Their friendship is really the glue that holds this movie together. The dream sequence in the middle could have been cut down. Also Sandy Frink could have been played by a hot nerd rather than Alan Cumming. There are some hilarious fun and some uncomfortable awkwardness. I would have loved these great actresses go for a sequel.

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.
