romy and michelle's high school reunion

ok, to be honest, this movie is pretty bad. i cant lie about that. but the thing is that they know its bad and have a great time with it anyway! the set up is pretty simple, in fact, i dont even need to explain the plot, its all right there in the title! romy and michelle, two best friends, go to their high school reunion. thats it. the fun comes from the way it all plays out, and the great casting as well. lisa kudrow, as michelle, is pitch perfect, her line delivery is amazing, in fact, the little 'huh' noises she adds to the end of her statements are what saves this movie from being complete rubbish! this is especially true when you hear mira sorvino delivering her lines as romy- terrible! there is just something wrong with her voice or something, she is the definition of a bad actress (how she won an acadamy award is beyond me...). one of the funniest moments of the film is when the two of them start dancing with allen cummings- its worth watching just for that dance!
anyway, i cant justify enjoying this movie, but i did anyway.
