Spoilers ahead
In the vibrant and sun-drenched streets of Venice, Los Angeles, two 28-year-old roommates, Romy White and Michele Weinberger, enjoy a carefree existence where their disdain for television and movies is rivaled only by their love for intricate amateur dressmaking. Romy finds herself working as a cashier at a Jaguar dealership, while Michele navigates the murky waters of joblessness, with neither harboring grand ambitions. Instead, they bond over their shared motto, “why bother?”, allowing them to drift through life without a second thought.
Their mundane routine shifts dramatically when Romy unexpectedly runs into her former classmate, Heather Mooney, a high-powered entrepreneur who has reinvented herself as the creator of an innovative cigarette paper. Heather drops a major bombshell: their ten-year high school reunion is fast approaching in Tucson, Arizona.
