(comedy, romance)
Janeane Garofalo plays Dr. Abby Barnes, the "Truth About Cats and Dogs" radio question-and-answer show host who unwittingly entices a listener over the radio with her soothing voice and personality. This listener, Brian, tries to meet the Abby from the radio, but Noelle, played by Uma Thurman, is mistaken for the real thing when Brian comes to the studio. Instead of clearing things up right away, the self-conscious Abby allows her best friend, Noelle, a tall, stunning blonde, to take her place for a while. Abby takes on the made-up persona of Donna, while thinking Brian would never go for her, a short, cute, brunette, who thinks she's unattractive. As the real Abby woos Brian over the phone and radio, Noelle, the pseudo-Abby, takes her place in the flesh. As time goes on, Abby feels more and more confident that Brian would rather have the beautiful Noelle than the simply attractive Abby.

Without a doubt, my favorite play ever written is Cyrano de Bergerac,
Edmund Rostand. People can tell me is sentimental and mawkish, but I do not care
; I absolutely love. What I have seen, I believe, most if not all,
film that has been inspired by it, from the 1950 version of Jose Ferrer
(the film is stagy and change the game, but it's wonderful) ,
Roxanne in 1987, Steve Martin wonderful return to work of the work as
romantic comedy, and best of all, the 1990 version starring Gerard Depardieu (France
how appropriate the greatest actor must appear on him giving his best performance
). Now comes this movie, which is inspired by him (as I understand it
writer Audrey Wells is a great fan as well) rather than an outright
remake of the same, but it's still pretty good .

True, everything depends on a rather thin premise, that Brian (Ben Chaplin)
is unable to tell the voices of Abby (Janeane Garofalo) and Noelle (Uma
Thurman) apart. But the romantic comedies have been more outrageous concepts
before, and nobody complained about the way they were realistic (as RUNAWAY
Novi; anyone cree that one?). And changing genres,
is able to talk about how women are forced to conform to an impossible ideal of beauty
. And yet, while the message comes through comedy, so
you're not being beaten over the head.

addition, the performers are quite attractive. It goes without saying
Janeane Garofalo is terrible in his first leading role. She is fun, as might be expected
, but as she had to fight the impossible ideal of beauty
much of his career, can sense something personal to her, and she brings out without obtaining
mawkish. Uma Thurman sends up the "dumb blonde" role
without condescending to it. In addition, we like Noelle for the same reason that
as a Christian in the original, it is actually more intelligent about the love of Abby is
(when Brian said, "Plus, which has this small fault .
He loves you. "). Chaplin of course has the object of desire paper, which is
difficult to play, but he brings humor and intelligence to it. And, of course,
the dog is great.
I tend to dislike most of the serious romantic movies like 'Titanic'
etc. They are simply not my type to be honest. Love
many of the classics like 'Sabrina'. I would have enjoyed 'The Truth About Dogs and Cats "a
much more if it had a little more comedy to it. This is a good (and forgettable
) film with some decent performances and good moments
but at some point seems to drag. Maybe a little editing would have helped
. On the one hand I can understand why Jeanine Garofalo
is cast as the 'ugly' girl (she is far from being ugly), but in my humble opinion,
it is not as a 'Ugly' girl but as a woman who thinks of herself as
unattractive. However, I thought that the Lehman
really went a little too far, sometimes, emphasizing its "ugliness" for example, by showing
people on the street asking for his ugly character. In contrast
, Uma Thurman looks much less attractive than usual and that is
as the 'hot'. To some extent 'Lehman'
not succeed in showing that the stereotypes of beauty created by the media (
Thurman's character) and what would be regarded as less attractive (
Garofalo's character). Garofalo is very likable. His personality on the screen here
not much different from his other roles, but she gets what she
set out to do. Thurman is a bit over the top sometimes, but otherwise
makes a great comparison with women of her co-star. The two actresses share a warm chemistry
. Ben Chaplin is quite good and fortunately it does not
American accent. In a nutshell, is a film that the average
could have been better.
