Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion’s25th anniversary is this April andLisa KudrowandMira Sorvino, the stars of the film, had their own reunion on stage Sunday night at the 2022 annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Kudrow and Sorvino appeared on stage wearing matching pink and blue pantsuits similar to the colors their characters wore in the film. The pair presented the award for Outstanding Comedy Series Ensemble together.
“You look cute,” said Sorvino as they approached the microphone. “I know, thanks!” exclaimed Kudrow.
“I just realized this, we’re wearing great ensembles while at the same time presenting to great ensembles,” Mira said, as Lisa applauded her former costar for knowing “that ensemble had two meanings.” She added, “You’re a genius!”
Hinting at Romy’s claim of inventing post-its in the movie, the pair even whipped some out to hand out the award to the cast ofTed Lasso.
Their reunion on stage was definitely not the end of it. The party continued on backstage where the two did some of their iconic dance routines to Cyndi Lauper’sTime After Time.Unfortunately, Alan Cumming, who played Sandy Frink in the movie, was MIA, but seeing the two of them break into choreography was enough for the fans.

Although the original movie wasn’t a box office smash when it was first released,Romy and Michele’s High School Reunionachieved cult status on home video and TV reruns. Also, when Speaking with TooFab back in 2018, Sorvino even said she’d totally be down for another installment of the film,perhaps hinting at a sequel.
“We would love that to happen. I would absolutely do a reboot of it, a sequel, I just don’t know if it will ever happen,” Sorvino said. “We’ve tried for years to get it going and we don’t have the rights, the rights belong to the company, so tell ‘The Mouse’ people want more Romy and Michele and we’ll see what happens.”
“The Mouse” in question being Mickey, as Disney owns the rights to the film.
“I’m so proud to be a part of something that really meant something to a lot of people,” she added. “It’s a hard thing to achieve that with a film, to make your mark on people’s hearts, and I think it really did. So that’s one of the proudest things in my career, honestly, to have meant something to people that’s lasted for 20 years.”
“I think Lisa for sure is still funny, I hope I am and that partnership was so special, the friendship between those two characters is so endearing and crazy, but I think it kept people wanting more,” Sorvino continued.
Since the release of the film, Kudrow and Sorvino have appeared in many films and TV shows and have gained stardom due to their success. Sorvino will next appear on Starz’sShining Vale, alongside Courteney Cox while Kudrow stars on Netflix’sSpace Forceand will appear in the upcoming Disney+ movieBetter Nate Than Never.
