Week 3: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion




Big laughs and hot stars make this a can't-miss comedy in the hilarious tradition of CLUELESS and DUMB AND DUMBER! Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow) are carefree party girls who reinvent themselves for their 10-year high school reunion. With new wardrobes and wild stories of success, they make a big impression ... until a former classmate Janeane Garofalo -- CLAY PIGEONS) blabs their real story to everyone! But that's when Romy and Michele let loose with a surprise of their own ... and outrageous results! Featuring a sizzling hit soundtrack of favorite hits from the '80s, it's the comedy treat The New York Times calls "cheerful, giddy fun!"

This week's movie was chosen by Drew.





"This is, without even a hint of irony, my favorite movie of all time.  It is the best love story of our generation.   Everyone could take a hint from Romy And Michelle and live their lives without giving a flying fuck about what other people think and looking good while doing it.  Janeane Garaffalo’s surly Heather Mooney steals every scene she is in with her take no prisoner fuck off Toby attitude."

"I cant think of a movie that’s more due for a total reboot. Think of the possibilities…OMG’s BFF’s LOL’s. It would be amazing (but would lack the flip phone). Doesn’t really hold up, but worth a watch. Romy and Michelle each get half a thruster. 1 thruster for an over elaborate dream sequence, and 0.1 for each “Fuck off” from Garaffalo."

"This movie made Dumb and Dumber look like Academy Award material. It had some cute moments but overall was very formulaic. It was cool to see Pam from True Blood before she was Pam from True Blood."

"The movie is full of laughs and good moments. At times I wondered if I had already seen the movie or if the jokes and story was being telegraphed. There were some unresolved story lines, like – what happened to the car? Maybe I was thinking too hard, or as Sean eloquently put it, 'It’s not inception.'"
