Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

Romy White and Michele Weinberger have been best friends since their school days in Tucson and now share a life in Los Angeles filled with parties, dancing and careful attention to their looks. When an invitation arrives for their ten-year high school reunion, the two realise they have little to show for the past decade and decide to invent a more impressive story about themselves. They arrive at the reunion in borrowed finery, posing as successful businesswomen, only for an old rival to threaten the deception.

David Mirkin directed the film, his first feature, from a screenplay by Robin Schiff. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow play the two leads, with Janeane Garofalo, Alan Cumming, Julia Campbell and Mia Cottet among a credited cast of 43. The production, from Touchstone Pictures and Bungalow 78 Productions, cost about 20 million dollars and took roughly 29 million dollars worldwide.

On IMDb the film holds a rating of 6.4 from around 58,000 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 6.2 from a much smaller base of 616 votes. A critics' rating of 6.4 from 65 reviews places it level with the IMDb figure and slightly above the TMDB one, indicating a broadly middling reception across all three. Mirkin went on to direct Heartbreakers in 2001.
