 The Truth About Cats And Dogs (DVD)
 The Truth About Cats And Dogs (DVD) ... released 04 February, 2002 at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL, Widescreen / One of the most memorably offbeat romantic comedies of the 1990s begins when a talk-radio veterinarian named Abby (Janeane Garofalo) takes a call from Brian (Ben Chaplin), the owner of a roller-skating Great Dane. Brian is intrigued by Abby's voice and asks if she'll agree to meet him. Insecure about her looks and her nonexistent love life, Abby agrees, but describes herself as a tall blonde, then begs her attractive neighbour Noelle (played by Uma Thurman) to meet with Brian in her place. The ensuing case of switched identity is complicated when Noelle takes a liking to Brian who, of course, thinks she is Abby. This confusion gains comedic momentum when Abby safely plays herself on the radio and in a long, hilariously seductive phone call with Brian, but by now the situation has grown hopelessly complex, and Abby has to find a way to reveal herself without disappointing Brian. Many viewers rightly complained that the movie relies on the assumption that Abby is unattractive, even though Garofalo is more attractive and appealing here than she'd been in several movies before and since. Still, this contemporary variation on Cyrano de Bergerac is a lightweight, good-natured surprise that values the quirks and foibles that make lovelorn romantics (including their pets) uniquely appealing. --Jeff ShannonNewest Review: ... in 1996.

This movie combines my two loves: adorably funny chick flicks and animals. I absolutely love this adorable movie about an unlikely couple that falls in love after an on purpose case of mistaken identity. This movie provides a story that deals with the age old question: Are looks really that important, or is in the person that is on the inside that really matters? Janeane Garofalo is the lead in this film, playing Abby, the host of a prominent radio talk show that deals talks with listeners and helps them with the problems that they are having with their pets. Abby deal with some pretty interesting callers that will definitely make you laugh. One ... Read the complete review

Abby Barnes (Janeane Garofalo) is a successful radio broadcaster; her daily show "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" helps hundreds of listeners with their pet problems, from over friendly cat's too depressed goldfish. When professional photographer Brian (Ben Chaplin) phones up with a troublesome dog on roller skates, Abby duly talks him through how to calm the free wheeling dog down and out of gratitude for her good advice; Brian invites her out for drinks. Self-conscious about her appearance and being only just over 5 foot, she agrees to go out but gives Brian the description of her neighbour Noelle (Uma Thurman) a tall, slim model. When Abby ...

I love films in general and watch them all the time. One of my particular favourite types of genre of film is romantic comedy films. I completely love them and will watch as many as i possibly can. One film that i remember watching a while back is a film called The Truth About Cats And Dogs. This film is not exactly what is sounds like and just has a clever title lol This film is an American rom com and came to our screens in 1996. I ended up watching it one day it was on one of the Sky movie channels and was engrossed from the start of the film. The total running time of the film is 97 minutes and it was directed by Michael Lehmann. It ... Read the complete review

I'm not normally one for romantic films or girlie flicks but I found myself watching "The Truth about Cats and Dogs" on TV a few weeks ago and I was rivetted! Released in 1996, this film stars Uma Thurman as Noelle, Janeanne Garofallo as Abby and Ben Chaplin as Brian - the three main and most important characters - evryone else is just incidental! The performances of all three are tight, convincing and flawless. The film begins with Abby, a vet with a radio talk show, being chatted up by one of her callers - Brian and eventually agreeing to meet him on a date. However her insecurity sets in, as she feels she is unattractive and that he ... Read the complete review
