Romy and Michele's High School Reunion Turns 20

In honor of the occasion, E! News reached out to the movie's stars Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, as well as writer Robin Schiff and director David Mirkin to talk about where the women are now, and whether or not they would consider doing a sequel. Here's what everyone had to say:

Mira Sorvino: "I would be very exited for [a sequel]. I've wanted one for years! There's been a lot of fan clamor for it—maybe it will finally happen now with all the different venues you can make movies for...[I doubt] they would've changed that much. They'd be kind of the same, just a little older, but still thinking they were younger and still thinking they were cool."

Lisa Kudrow: "Well, sure. Yeah, why not? I mean…if it makes sense for those two people to be around my age and see what's going on...Hopefully Michele is still with Sandy Frink [played by Alan Cumming]! And Romy's on husband number two or three, you know, because no relationship's gonna be as good as Romy and Michele!"

Robin Schiff: "I really wasn't even thinking of doing a sequel. But I thought, at least I should put some thought into it because of all this love coming the way of the movie…I would be an interesting challenge to try and solve...[Romy and Michele] stayed really successful in their stores, and I think they're designing clothes—and they're good at it. [I think they] are still in touch with Heather [Garofalo]."

David Mirkin: "You know, if it's the right idea and the right tone, I would be there in a second. [Romy and Michele] are probably getting back together and rediscovering themselves—maybe after some troubled relationships with men, and we'd have to see where they are and if there's a story there…We would never want to do anything that wasn't up to the terrific fun we had on the first one...They're the success they didn't know they wanted to be."
