{{tropelist}}
* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|About a third of the movie.}}
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Christie, even years after high school.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The Aesop of the movie is ostensibly ' "be yourself!'" and is highlighted when Romy and Michele change from their business women suits into the bright, colorful clothes that they made themselves and everyone likes it! Of course, at the end, the <s>goth</s> aggressively frumpy chick is seen getting a make overmakeover from Romy and Michele. Apparently, you should follow your own style, but only if it's cheery, bright and sexy. Aggressive frumpiness is not acceptable.
** Unless you're being frumpy as a defense mechanism because being yourself in a high school setting leaves you open for others to take advantage of you.
* [[Chain Of Harm]]: Heather is surprised to learn that the protagonists, who she'd resented at school, were in turn looked down on by the "A group". She's ''delighted'' to learn that she herself had consistently made another girl at school feel miserable.
