    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Both the Romy and Michele characters were originated in the stage play "Ladies Room." Lisa Kudrow reprises the role she played in it.
    • Goofs
      When Toby asks Heather and Sandy if they want to name all 50 state capitals at the prom, Sandy incorrectly says "Albuquerque". Albuquerque is not the capital city of New Mexico, Santa Fe is.
    • Quotes

      Christie: So, Mi-chelle! What are you up to?

      Michele: Oh, okay. Um, I invented Post-Its.

      Christie: No offense, Michele, but how in the world did *you* think of Post-Its?

      Michele: Uh...

      [looks across the room at Romy talking to Billy Christianson]

      Romy: And I thought of them completely by myself. I mean, all Michele did was say: "What about making them yellow?"

      Michele: [turns to the A Group] Actually I invented a special kind of glue.

      Christie: Oh really? Well then I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving us a detailed account of exactly how you concocted this miracle glue, would you?

      Michele: No. Um, well, ordinarily when you make glue first you need to thermoset your resin and then after it cools you have to mix in an epoxide, which is really just a fancy-schmancy name for any simple oxygenated adhesive, right? And then I thought maybe, just maybe, you could raise the viscosity by adding a complex glucose derivative during the emulsification process and it turns out I was right.

    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema version (rated 12) removes all profanity and inserts inoffensive replacements, along with removing some sexual references:
      • [Reel 1] Heather telling Toby to "fuck off" is replaced with "bug off".
      • [Reel 2] Same as the first cut (when Toby interrupts Heather and Sandy at the prom).
      • Heather asking Clarence "Why don't you go fuck a sheep..." is replaced with "wed a sheep".
      • [Reel 3] When Ramon asks Romy for a favour at the car dealership, the second half of their fake sex dialogue is cut. "Man stallion, fill me with your giant love wand" up to and including "Oh Ramon, your penis is so powerful, I'm coming" is removed.
      • [Reel 4] Heather telling Toby to "fuck off" after being asked for a name tag is removed.
      • Heather's line "I already asked Toby dumb-fuck" is replaced with "dumb-butt".
      • [Reel 5] Romy's line "Now we're just a fucking joke" is replaced with "stupid joke" (this cut persists in the American video version).
      • Romy telling Christy "We don't give a flying fuck what you think" is replaced with "flying frog".
      • Toby telling Heather "And please don't tell me to fuck off" is replaced with "bug off".
      • Heather telling Clarence "If you fuck with me, in any way..." is replaced with "mess with me".
      All UK video versions are uncut and rated 15.

    Love this film!
    This is a perfect friendship movie to sit down with a big bucket of popcorn and watch. I absolutely adore friendship films, and I love 80's music and nostalgia, which is what you get here. The script is hilarious and the funny lines are delivered very well by the stars. The casting is also well done, Lisa kudrow was amazing! The characters are funny, sweet, and likable. This film will make you laugh, cry, and will just make you feel good. Everyone needs a nice feel good movie every once in a while :). The soundtrack is so great in this movie as well. I loved hearing all the 80's songs here: Heaven is a place on earth, Footloose, time after time........ The list goes on and on really. This is not a family friendly film, but it's not meant to be, it's meant for teens and adults, and it caters to that exact audience very well in my opinion. Very cute and enjoyable film about best friends. 9/10.
