Rolling Stone
Kudrow's Michele is a deadpan delight as she joins fellow misfit Romy (a deliciously funny Mira Sorvino). - 80
Film Threat
Garofalo is amazing, as always, and the film is almost about her as much as the leads. The recreation of the casts' high school years is wickedly funny and dead on. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
It has charm, a sly intelligence, and the courage to go for special effects sequences. - 75
ReelViews
One of those pleasant movie-going experiences that doesn't offend, excite, or challenge anyone. There are all sorts of likable things about it. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
A frothy comedy with the most adorable buddies since "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." - 70
The New York Times
Cheerful, giddy fun. - 60
Salon
As lightweight as it is, it's easy to feel real affection for the movie. - 50
USA Today
Isn't smart enough to cut it as the ultimate blond joke. [25 April 1997, p. 4D]
