Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997)


Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is a comedy film revolving around two 28 year old friends, Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow). Romy meets a former classmate who informs her of an upcoming 10 year high school reunion back in their hometown. Romy and Michele were never popular in high school and left their hometown after graduation to 'make it' in L.A. Neither of them turned up 'successful' but they were intent on making a good impression that they made last minute efforts to get boyfriends and better jobs. After failing from their attempts, they had decided to just pretend to be successful businesswomen complete with a back story that they invented the Post-it notes. They were on the way to the reunion riding an expensive car and clad in business suits when they had an argument, causing a rift to their friendship. 

I can't believe this movie scored so low in IMDb. Before I even watched the movie, I knew it's not life changing. But it exceeded my expectations and I tremendously enjoyed the whole film. I can totally relate to the queasy feeling about my own (future) high school reunion. Plus, it's loads of fun. This film deserves more credit.
