As time goes on, Abby feels more and more confident that Brian would rather have the beautiful Noelle than the simply attractive Abby..

Charming and moving
Without a doubt, my favorite play ever written is CYRANO DE BERGERAC, by Edmund Rostand. People can tell me it’s sentimental and mawkish, but I don’t care; I absolutely love it. I’ve seen, I think, most, if not every, movie which has been inspired by it, from the 1950 version by Jose Ferrer(the movie is stagy and changes the play, but he’s wonderful), to ROXANNE in 1987, Steve Martin’s wonderful re-working of the play as romantic comedy, and best of all, the 1990 version starring Gerard Depardieu(how appropriate France’s greatest actor should appear in it giving his best performance). Now comes this movie, which is inspired by it(as I understand it, writer Audrey Wells is a big fan as well) rather than being an outright remake of it, but it’s still quite good.

Admittedly, it all hangs 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 romantic comedies have had more outrageous concepts before, and no one complained about how realistic they were(like RUNAWAY BRIDE; does anyone believe that one?). And by switching genders, it’s able to talk about how women are forced to conform to an impossible ideal of beauty. And yet, at the same time, the message comes through comedy, so you’re not being hit over the head.

Also, the performers are quite engaging. It goes without saying Janeane Garofalo is terrific in her first lead role. She’s funny, as could be expected, but as she’s had to fight the impossible ideal of beauty much of her career, you can sense something personal for her, and she brings that out without getting mawkish. Uma Thurman sends up the “dumb blonde” role without condescending to her. Plus, we like Noelle for the same reason we like Christian in the original; she’s actually smarter about love than Abby is(when she says of Brian, “Plus, he’s got this one, tiny little fault. He loves you.”). Chaplin of course has the object of desire role, which is tough to play, but he brings humor and intelligence to it. And, of course, the dog is great.

Sweet, charming, and hilarious romantic comedy about being yourself
THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS, in my opinion, is a sweet, charming, and hilarious romantic comedy about being yourself. Roy (James McCaffrey) was an absolute jerk! Brian (Ben Chaplin) was the better guy. This was because he yelled at Noelle (Uma Thurman) and broke Abby’s (Janeane Garofalo) violin bow. When I think about it, the dog on roller skates was really funny. I wonder how long it took for him to get the hang of it. Anyway, everyone involved in this film did an absolutely outstanding job. Now, in conclusion, I highly recommend this sweet, charming, and hilarious romantic comedy about being yourself to any Uma Thurman, Janeane Garofalo, or Ben Chaplin fan who hasn’t seen it. You’re in for lots of laughter, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and watch it.
