This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life, and I am not the harshest critic of movies by any means. This movie is not funny at all, the acting is terrible, and plot is cliqued and outdated. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! THE MOVIE IS HORRIBLE!
Rating: 1 / 5
Don’t see this movie. It’s a waste of time and energy. It’s just about 2 nit wits wanting to impress everyone at their high school reunion.

The characteres in this film are stupid, the plot of the and plot is stupid beyond beleive. Why was this film made? How could these other reviewers possibly like it. My family is probably the only people who didn’t like it. Even Roger Ebert liked it! Come on! What is wrong these people?!!!! The story is about these two stupin bimbos who have no live going to there highschool reunion. They borrow a nice car, get some nice cloths, and act like there very sucessful. This movie is such a waste of film and time with bareley any comedy thats funny in it. Don’t listen to the other people. The fact these almost everyone liked it is not a good sign. THIS MOVIE IS TOTALLY STUPID!!!

This film milks the most out of what is a pretty [poor] plotline. Two fun-loving but less than intellectually astute blondes (let’s just say that they’re not the type of people whom you engage in the Hegelian dialectic with) find out that their 10 year high school reunion is coming up. As they both lead what they believe to be very “ordinary” lives, they have a plan to lie about their professions so as to impress their former classmates.
The strongest point of this DVD is its cute satire of what can & does happen at HS reunions. So many times the people who were thought to be “shoe-ins” for success end up falling flat on their faces. Meanwhile, the quiet people whom nobody ever paid any attention to end up becoming mega-successful. This is a theme that is played out in a myriad of ways throughout the film.
It is demonstrable that Mira Sorvino is a dynamic actress who can play just about any kind of character there is. She could easily go from playing a ditzy girl in the present film to playing college professor in her next project if she so chose.
It remains to be seen how far Lisa Kudrow’s talents can stretch. The clueless blonde she plays in this story is pretty much a clone of her FRIENDS persona. I’d like to see her in a role that she’s not typecast as.
The good news for this film is that Kudrow and Sorvino work well with each other. They are believable as best friends who have virtually never been apart. If nothing else, we get to view Kudrow in about a dozen different hairstyles during the movie, and she looks FABULOUS in all of them!
If you’re looking for a cheesy flick that has some satirical moments, this movie is worth a look. It’s not hilariously funny, but there are some comical moments. It’s not a movie you will think about much after watching it, but it’s just good enough to make you happy you saw it once.

I recollect reading, when this movie came out, that it was based on a stand-up comedy skit about 9 minutes long. At that length, it probably worked. But expanded to 90 minutes or so, it simply doesn’t. Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be satire of sorts, but it’s not funny. Both of the main characters are dense beyond belief, and all the people at their reunion are stereotypes. The movie is so desperate to fill time that it has R&M go through the reunion TWICE, and it’s not funny either time! You do get to see Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino in their bras and panties, but that’s not enough to make this turkey worth watching, let alone buying.
