This TV movie prequel doesn't have THAT much to live up to, as the original movie was average fluff, but it can't even manage a single scene that sparks. This is is desperately thin stuff. It plays like a pilot, has none of the bounce provided by Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, and besides, we know everything we need to know about the girls' past from the flashback scenes in the first film. So, it's pointless and flat, and fails to round up any feeling of nostalgia despite writer/director Robin Schiff slathering on the '80s tunes and references to bygone stars, but the worst blunder is that Schiff is paying so little attention to her own characters that she casts her new Romy and Michele, Katherine Heigl and Alex Breckinridge, the wrong way round. Oops!
