I'm not sure the amount of time that has to pass before a film is considered a classic but this is definitely one to me. It's unique, funny, heartfelt and with a retro zing. Mira Sorvino (Mimic) and Lisa Kudrow (Friends) star as Romy and Michelle two bright, sassy, stylish young women who receive an invite to their high school reunion where they were once bullied and made fun of. To show up their old nemeses they come up with a plan to create two new, more impressive lives and get the respect they wanted for so long. Throw in a dream sequences, some hilarious jokes, great performances from the leads and Janeane Garofalo (Reality Bites) amongst others and a clever, heartfelt screenplay and you have the makings of this comedy classic. Revisiting it's easy to see why it's attained it's cult status.
