Romy And Michele's High School Reunion (DVD)

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is my all-time favourite film. It's a fluffy, feel-good film that is guaranteed to have you laughing, no matter how many times you've seen it before! It's very American and a little dated (it was released in 1996) but still fabulous! The storyline revolves around Romy White and Michele Weinberger, two dumb, ditzy American blondes. They are played by Mira Sorvino the Oscar-winning star of Mighty Aphoridte and ...
...Buffay in Friends! When Romy and Michele hear their old high school back in Tucson, Arizona are having a reunion, they jump at the chance. After all, this is their big chance to show their bitchy ex-classmates how fantastic their lives now are. They are now slim, pretty blondes living in Los Angeles whereas their old classmates are still stuck in Tucson, and they can't resist going back to flaunt their new lifestyles to the people who thought they ...

From this chance encounter, Romy finds out that her high school is having a 10 year reunion for her class!

...is that Romy is a cashier, Michelle is unemployed and both of them are still single – surely they can’t go like that! So, they embark on a few plans to get themselves better jobs, new men and loose weight, but nothing seems to work. But wait……Romy has a better plan up her sleeve….. This film is silly. It’s implausible. It’s completely ridiculous but above all, its funny! The basic premise is that the two main characters are ditzy blondes with simple ...

Review of Romy And Michele's High School Reunion (DVD)

...is a trendy comedy about Romy and Michelle's 10 year high school reunion. At reunions, everyone wants to come across as successful and happy in life. When filling out their reunion information sheets they realise, hang on...what have we done with our lives? Here is a small section from that part of the film - ROMY:"Do you think it's impressive that we're still single, and we've been living together for 10 years, and I'm a cashier and you're unemployed?" ...
...impress people?" MICHELLE:"Well...eh..." When Romy and Michelle were at Sagebrush High 10 years ago, they weren't successful or popular then either. Going to this reunion is their opportunity to show their old classmates how much they have improved their lives. Romy used to be over weight which she has now lost and Michelle was constantly teased by the A group for having a backbrace which is obviously long gone. They both liked men that were not ...

...a natural comedy talent. In Romy and Michelle, her role is rather similar to Phoebe in 'Friends' only a little more bimbo-ish with a keen eye for fashion. The story is quite basic but a little more unpredictable than most, with a couple of twists and turns here and there. Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michelle (Kudrow) are 2 long-time high school friends living in California where they moved to after they left school, and are typical blnde bimbos. One ...

Romy and Michelle get all excited and ready to go, but as they are filling out the high school questionaire they realise that their lives are not as impressive as they thought. So they decide to try and make out that since they left high school they have become successful, ambitious career women - so they make everything up! The results of this and the outcome of the reunion are hilairious. Both Lisa Kudrow and Mira ...

...Background on Romy & Michele ------------------------------------ To make this opinion more interesting, I've added this background section. The information comes mainly from stories I have read over the years but also from movie sites and fan sites. "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion" was released in 1997, but the characters go back long before then. The movie's writer, Robin Schiff, wrote a play called "The Ladies Room" back in late 80s. The ...
...were two minor characters called Romy and Michele. Robin Schiff envisioned them as two ordinary looking girls who thought they were really hot disco babes. Even though Romy and Michele were secondary characters, the audience constantly responded so strongly to them that they emerged as the comedic high points within the performance. The play eventually caught the eye of a film producer who had the idea of transforming Romy and Michele into lead characters ...

...character. Actual Film Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, is a by any standards a hilarious film, with great actors, brilliant set peaces and great understanding of the time it was in and the way that Teens/young adults think. I also like the way that it doesn’t really result to bodily functioned jokes like so many other films of this genre an actual real treat, the only problem I would have is that some of the actors are really awful, and ...
