Obviously, the film itself is as near-perfect as they get, or you wouldn't be here. If you're curious about the Blu-ray release, I'd say it's pretty good. There are a few moments where the sound drops slightly, but there's no glaring artifacting and the visuals are crisper and more detailed than ever before—sometimes in unintentionally hilarious ways. (For example, Janeane Garofalo's wig in the flashback sequences is even more noticeable and outrageous.) The Eighties pop standards sound great and clear, and that iconic dance scene at the end has never looked better. I'd say spring for this, I can't imagine a better transfer is going to happen until Criterion oversees one. ;)

I was watching TV when an ASPCA commercial came on, you know, the one with dogs cowering and shivering in the cold. That horror aside, I recognized the voice of the commercial narrator as that of Romy White (Mira Sorvino). That lead me back to this movie -- I love it. I enjoyed it so much I binge watched Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback on Amazon Prime. If you haven't seen this movie yet you're in for a treat.

Got a real kick out this when it first came out. Great soundtrack of pop music from the decade that the story spans (80s to 90s). The script is deftly crafted, despite the lightness of the theme, like a great short story, having no wasted elements: everything is central to the story -- which feels mostly like a fun romp, but then turns out to be, very warmly, about about learning to be cool with yourself. I also recall thinking the two leads were easy on the eyes, and the supporting cast is great.

For parents: While there are a few suggestive elements, and a gruff-language character (a fabulous Garofalo), I think it's pretty good family stuff, so long as the kids are at least 13, and the parents are no more than averagely conservative about suggestive themes & language.

UPDATE: It holds up well; I just watched in Blu Ray, enjoying it almost as much in review (15 years later). It has a certain John Hughes feel to it, in a good way.

Happy 20th ladies! I loved this movie in my 20's, I love it even more now. What a sweet, fun, silly (yet empowering) flick, with a good heart and a time-honored truism at its core - be yourself!

My best friend from school suggested I watch this movie when it was released. We both could easily have been these girls!! There are a lot of similarities and the age and timing of high-school matches our own. Being a big 80's fan, I fell in love with the clothes . . . again! She wasn't able to find a copy in DVD to replace her antiquated VHS and Amazon came to the rescue. I mailed a copy to her and kept one for myself.s

I love this film and have ever since I saw it in the theater. I used to watch for it on TV, but now I've decided to invest in the DVD and I'm happy I have. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow star as Romy and Michelle, two clueless high school friends from Arizona who now live together in LA. When Romy runs into an old high school classmate (Jeanne Garofalo, who I usually like) at work, Romy and Michelle decide to go to their 10th high school reunion. But they decide to make up cover stories about themselves so they can be seen as successful career women, which they're not. So they drive across the desert in a borrowed Jag reliving various high school memories. When they get there, the old popular girls are still total witches and treat them pretty shabbily -- except for one who is now a fashion editor and compliments them on the clothes they've made to wear. Meanwhile, as a side note, Garofalo is also there, hooking up with a mysterious cowboy from her high school past. The ending is pretty predictable, but pretty funny nonetheless and while this isn't a highbrow comedy, this movie is a very funny comedy and worth a good viewing or two. Recommended.

This movie is great, and I just love Lisa Kudrow. She is so funny, and I enjoy her acting, especially. It's a very good movie, and I highly recommend it, especially if you want a lot of laughs!!

All of us who went to public or private schools understand the classifications of people: popular, geek, jock, burnout, brains, metal heads, etc. That one faction, the Popular, that judged everyone is made to be the bad guys in this High School Reunion, but the most interesting part of this movie was how it made me aware that every click stepped on some other click. Yes, it was over the top. That cut it down to 3 1/2 stars (I didn't have that option). Yes, it was predictable. But Janeane Garofalo's performance made this movie worth buying. I loved how Romy and Michele seemed to be completely oblivious to their own personal lack of accomplishments. I wasn't thrilled at how the characters' portrayals seemed cheesy. If you like slapstick humor, this might be more your style.
