The plot follows a sequence where Two not-too-bright party girls reinvent themselves for their high school reunion. Armed with a borrowed Jaguar, new clothes and the story of their success as the inventors of Post-It notes, Romy and Michele descend on their alma mater, but their façade crumbles quickly.

The Verdict: Ultimately, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion succeeds because it respects the audience's intelligence. It is a mandatory watch for anyone following the latest in Comedy cinema.
