This is one of those movies that doesn't provide any insight into the human spirit or inspire questions of substance. It's just a simple, silly movie about two high-school losers, played by Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, who are faced with a monumental choice: return to their 10 year high school reunion as themselves, or create new identities, so they can gain the popularity they never had. It's got great 80's songs, and is certainly well-cast: Kudrow (Friends) could play this role in her sleep, and Oscar winner Sorvino, as the brainier (relatively) one of the duo. Janeane Garofalo does her funny, angry shtick well, and Alan Cumming provides a change of character (with a good American accent) as the nerd who became a little more successful after high school. Ironically, Sorvino graduated from Harvard and Kudrow from Vassar, which just proves that these actresses are not naturally dumb blondes !
