The moral, if this movie has one, seems to be that ignorance can be bliss and that bliss, rare as it is, should not be dismissed lightly. Some may find this taxing even in the face of solid performances and occasional clever plot turns. This is a pleasant enough diversion, but it falls into the category of stupid people struggling with their stupidity.
Embarrassment and triumph await them at the reunion, and although they come to value their friendship even more than before, it's not clear that they are any less superficial than when they started. In all the activity and as they review their accomplishments, they come to realize that they may not actually be as wonderful as they had previously thought themselves to be. In anticipation of the event, they head to the gym, make new clothes, invent impressive résumés, and borrow a Jaguar to improve their image in the eyes of other alums. Heather, a former classmate who made it big inventing fast-burning cigarette paper, alerts them to the imminent reunion. They make their own clothes and go dancing, having a good time and complimenting each other profusely. To their dismay, neither has a boyfriend. Now living together in a cramped apartment in Los Angeles, where they moved to have cooler lives, one is a cashier at a Jaguar dealership and the other is unemployed. Romy ( Mira Sorvino) and Michele ( Lisa Kudrow) have remained best friends for the 10 years since high school in Tucson, Arizona.
