michelle r A well written goofball movie. It’s the female version of Dumb and Dumber. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Matthew T Ah, the sweet years of the late 20th century—how I took them for granted. Now, as a jaded middle-aged man trudging through the dull march of the 21st century, I sigh. Ha! How reality robs us of our dreams, and how nostalgia sugarcoats everything from our past—including this mediocre ’90s movie, itself a throwback to mostly forgettable ’80s high school flicks. The plot? Standard, but effective, because you actually care about the main characters. What it lacks in depth, it makes up for in charm—kind of like a good sitcom. You might think nostalgia is the only thing keeping me from writing it off, but nope. It’s actually a fun, relatable comedy with a lot of heart. Sure, the third act drags, thanks to a needlessly silly dance number and those snappy, fairy-tale resolutions. But hey, it’s not Shakespeare. And honestly? You’ll probably enjoy it more. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review John A Most of the characters are pretty enjoyable and the story becomes pretty predictable but it all makes for a decent enough ride in the field of "chick-flicks" Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Matt L I love everything about this cult classic that should have spawned a few sequels by now. However, I don't think it's too late to have another reunion! This movie has great bits, good music, an iconic dance sequence, a hilarious ending and has heart to boot! It's one of my favorites of all time and will always be beloved! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Emily P I didn’t see this movie until maybe two months ago but I liked it more than I thought I would. I mean if anything gets a 75% or higher on here it has to be good. Lisa and Mira were perfect for their parts of Romy and Michele. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Jeff M This movie is pure joy and one of only a small handful of films that I wish had a sequel. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is - a silly, goofy good time. And God knows we need that now more than ever. The film is populated with supporting performances from many familiar faces, each one better than the last. And special mention must be given to Garofalo who is absolutely outstanding and provides many of the movie's biggest laughs. And, yes, that is Justin Theroux in a very early role as the mysterious cowboy who becomes her nemesis throughout high school. But the success of this motion picture land squarely on the shoulders of Sorvino and Kudrow, and it's impossible to imagine any one else in either of their roles. Kudrow, in particular, is comic dynamite. Although I've never seen an episode of FRIENDS, I've always been drawn to her as an actress and performer, and her timing is impeccable. She and Oscar winner Sorvino create one of my favorite comic dream teams. It's not a movie during which I necessarily laugh out loud a lot, but I smile throughout, and my spirits are lifted for the scant 92 minutes it exists. And the Mary vs. Rhoda debate will forever be up in the air for me. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
