One of the best portraits of High School times!

"Romy and Michele" is great! Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow were one of the best partnerships ever at 90's. They are perfect together at a point to believe that they are real intimate friends.

It's one of the best and funniest movies I've ever seen for one simple reason: it's one of the best movies together with "Muriel's Wedding", "Welcome To Dollhouse", "Mean Girls" and some other ones to portray as a satire way what really happens to a lot of people's lives at Elementary and High School times. I'm saying that because I can assert with sure that I was one of "them" and all this perversity that is shown on these movies is not a "privilege" just in American schools. It's funny as a satire, but on the opposite is very sad for it's truly image.

Freud says that children are mean for their own nature, and this is just a phase. But when I see these movies and remember all the live hell childhood I've had, I say that all that cruelty lasts for a long time during everyone's lives. Has being a part of the "rejected people" I can understand perfectly what goes on the "minds" of characters like Romy, Michele, Muriel, Dawn and Cady. The cruelty is impacting in the lives of those who had suffered from it, so impacting that it keeps within us as so much as we still live, I mean, we can surpass the old times, but never the traumas.
