The Truth about Cats and Dogs: or should that be about Beauty and Brains?

by telynor telynor is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 08 '02
Pros: Charming romantic comedy, with just a touch of tragedy to make it almost perfect.
Cons: Stereotypes, alas, and not a lot of depth, but it's a great comedy
Today I came across a little film called The Truth about Cats and Dogs. Taking an age old story about do girls who are smart, but not stunningly beautiful, have a chance at getting the guys? The answer of course is yes. And rightly so.

by naphtalia Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 25 '02
Pros: a nice diversion. nothing more
Cons: mindless, needs lots of suspension of disbelief
If you've seen Edmund Rostand's play Cyranno De Bergerac, you have seen this movie, The Truth About Cats and Dogs - only a much superior version. This movie is cute and a lovely diversion when one is feeling the need for mindless brain...

Cats, Dogs, and a Sheepish Cynic

by solleks , May 27 '01
Pros: Surprisingly smart and funny.
Cons: Some stereotypes are overdone.
It was movie night, and it was my friend’s turn to pick the movie. “The Truth About Cats and Dogs,” she said immediately.

I groaned. I whined. I complained. I pleaded. I fussed. I threw a tantrum that would have done most two-year-olds...

The Truth About Cats & Dogs

by maggieedwa , Dec 19 '05
Pros: Fab film fun to watch.
Cons: None
Another of my all time favorite films by Janeane Garofalo she plays Abby a radio talk show presenter who specializes in animals. She is a frumpy looking female and she knows it, right through the film you see her getting ignored while taller more ...

Noble premise stuck in forehead-smacking sitcom-land

by Andrew_Hicks Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 18 '00
Pros: Janeane Garofalo, the cynic's dream
Cons: Cheap humor, dragged-out, thoroughly unbelievable plotline
I had my reservations about The Truth About Cats and Dogs the first time I saw it, but I came away with a positive impression. I think it was the movie's take on the age-old beauty vs. brains and personality debate that got to me. Eerily, I was on...

Candice923 & Dionne25

by Candice923 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 20 '00
Pros: Really, really funny; Great commentary on life, love and relationships; Nice soundtrack
Cons: Men don't usually like it
This is one of my favorite movies, although I know it didn't make very many (if any at all) of my top ten lists. It's cute and funny and heartfelt, and it really reminds me of the relationship I have with my best friend.

Abby (Jeannine...

Sweet and Luckily, Short.

by sorrow_wife , May 15 '01
Pros: three likable performances, Thurman steals the show!
Cons: cliches, predictable, dog looks very uncomfortable on skates.
Janeane Garafolo began sweet, with "Reality Bites" and especially this movie which has undertones of CYRANO DE BERGERAC. Too bad she became more and more bitter with performances in "Clay Pigeons", "The Matchmaker", and "Romy & Michelle's High School...

The Truth About Cats And Uma!

by crazypupe , Apr 02 '00
Pros: Janeane Garofalo, cute cats and dogs, Janeane's phone scene! :)
Cons: Uma Thurman, Uma Thurman, Uma Thurman, and implying that Janeane is ugly!
Ok, this movie is silly at times, but I love it! Maybe I am a little biased because I have had a major crush on Janeane Garofalo for years! But, trust me, she has made her share of bad movies! (Anyone seen The Matchmaker?) So, my love for this movie...

The Truth is this is Cute

by dransome , Dec 19 '00
Pros: cute movie. won't strain your brain
Cons: a bit on the weak side.
This movie is cute. It's a variation on the Cyranno theme, though a weak one. Still, it provides an entertaining evening.

Janeane Garofolo plays Abby, a radio vetrinarian with loads of brains and personality but not much in the looks...

Phone Sex, Dogs on Rollerskates, and Turtle Proctology

by sherkarr , Jun 19 '00
Pros: Good jokes, nice pace, very funny
Cons: Jamie Fox needing more scenes
Jeanne Garofolo, Uma Thurman and Ben Chaplin (who?) star in this funny comedy. It tells the story of Abby (Garofolo) an animal vet with a radio call in show who has low self-esteem when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex. Brian (Chaplin) is a...

A confortable, romantic movie for a rainy day!

by FLSappy , Jun 24 '00
Pros: A great, feel-good romance
Cons: Uma Thurman was miscast
Ah, The Truth About Cats & Dogs.

Abby (Janeane Garafolo) is an acerbic, cerebral veterinarian with her own radio call-in show. Brian (Ben Chaplin) is an adorable English photographer who pays his rent doing catalog shoots. Noelle...

The Truth About Cats and Dogs

by KimberlyD , Jul 04 '01
Pros: good movie
Cons: there were some cons
I recognized the title of this movie, but I had no idea what it was about. I vaguely remember seeing parts of it, but that didn't stop me from watching it on television one night. Abby hosts a radio show about animals. Callers with pets call in with...

Is that dog wearing roller-skates?

by Kimberly_Dawn , Feb 07 '00
Pros: humorous and sweet
Cons: your man will be bored
I have owned this movie for quite a few years now. Ok, I'm an animal lover, so throw a CAT or DOG in a movie title and I'm hooked. I've gotta see it. Forget if the movie actually contains an animal, it might, so I better buy it. Lucky for me this...

Embarrassed that I recommended it to my mom
by my3son ,Sep 11 '07
Pros: Cute diversion
Cons: Requires extreme suspension of disbelief to enjoy the movie
My mom and I decided to go to a movie one night and I suggested this movie because it looked cute. It was rather embarrassingly mindless and the content was not appropriate for children under 18 (masturbation, etc).
