(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.

This film is an absolute gem, showing the incredible talent of
Janeane Garofalo and highlight the natural beauty of Uma Thurman (
and Ben Chaplin).

This is an incredibly well prepared and well-written film due to the efforts of
director Michael Lehmann and writer Audrey Wells.

If there was ever any doubt about the ability to act Ms Garofalo
this film are put to rest. There are scenes in which she is positively luminescent
as the 'voice on the radio "- Dr. Abby Barnes.

This film was going to be a star vehicle for Uma Thurman: she has both billing
higher in the sequence of titles in opening and closing credits. She also has the
personal assistant, personal makeup and hair and even a personal acting coach
! But she has worked only 12 films from `Cats and Dogs'
was released and Ms. Garofalo has completed 39!

Janeane steals the show (again)!

The story is derivative: It is basically the story of Cyrano, however, is
given new life and freshness of attractive characters and plot twists
.

I must admit that I am a little tired of Janeane Garofalo playing 'ugly'
girl roles. She is far from being ugly and really must play the romantic characters
more frequently.

This really is an excellent film - the scenes with `Hank 'steal the show
and evening telephone conversation between Abby and Brian
should not to be missed.
A modern counting of Cyrano de Bergerac story, except the genders are reversed
. Janeane Garafalo is a veterinarian at a radio station talk show to air
giving advice to pet owners. However, she has a poor self-image
about their appearance, and cocoons itself away from possible
relations, in an effort to protect itself from
inevitable disappointment and pain.

If the film has a weakness, is the fact that Garafalo
is released as an ugly duckling. No way, people, this woman is beautiful. Depending on
if you prefer petite blondes or brunettes high, you may think it even cuter
that co-star Uma Thurman. Both

Garafalo and Thurman are splendid, and play each other and their
uncomfortable friendship / rivalry romantic situation. Thurman's ditsy
Wanna-be actress is very sympathetic; Garafalo intellectually, but emotionally guarded
Dr Abby is sometimes heartbreaking. Ben Chaplin as
Brian, the object of their affections, becomes a good performance
of his own. A scene in which two of these actors interact with eyes
only - no dialogue, at least 30 sec .-- is very powerful.

Funny bits pop-up in strategic moments. The banter between Abby and Brian
line is like a ping-pong match; his spontaneous wit
is fun to ride along with (almost like a game Neil Simon). Brian is the dog of a
of the best animals in a movie I've seen in a while, did comedy
well as their human counterparts.

A good movie is worth spending a night in, especially as a simple date.
