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.
Leave your thoughts about The Truth About Cats & Dogs.
| Washington PostRita KempleyWritten by former deejay Audrey Wells, the observant and funny script includes some wonderful scenes for the leading ladies. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertJaneane Garofalo in this movie... is so likable, so sympathetic, so revealing of her character's doubts and desires, that she carries us headlong into the story. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIt has its own sunsplashed vitality, thanks to spirited writing by Audrey Wells and winning performances from all three principals. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinMs. Garofalo, in a lovely, winning performance, gives Abby lots of heart while also making defensive snappishness a big part of her charm. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingRom-com charmer with a smart script and Garofalo in top form. |
| EmpireAngie ErrigoDJ Audrey Wells' crafty screenplay brims with truths about the sexes, providing great lines for Garofalo, and great business for Thurman's confused waif, and cranks the feelgood factor up so high it's almost off the scale. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere aren't many surprises, but the script is written with a degree of wit, and there are some bitingly funny one-liners (all of which are delivered by Garofalo). |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannYou can see the outcome from a distance, but Michael Lehmann ("Heathers") directs with such snap, and the actors play their concert of comic duets and trios with such skill and charm, that The Truth About Cats & Dogs emerges a surprising, first-rate romantic comedy. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittJaneane Garofalo and Uma Thurman make a bright-eyed comedy team in this romance. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesGarofalo is accessible to anyone in the audience (except maybe herself). |
