Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"If you were trapped in Biosphere II for three years, who would you bring? Time magazine's Woman of the Year or Playboy's Playmate of the Year?"--Abby (Janeane Garofalo)
"You and I together make the perfect woman."--Noelle (Uma Thurman)
"No, you and I together make the perfect political prisoner. What we really do well is act self-righteous and starve."--Abby |
| More Information |
| Details: |
In this modern variation of CYRANO DE BERGERAC, Abby (Janeane Garofalo) is a savvy, witty veterinarian who hosts a radio show about pets. She and a caller named Brian (Ben Chaplin) are drawn to each other while talking during her show, but when Brian asks Abby to describe herself, the average-looking woman cannot resist offering a description of her statuesque, gorgeous, and slightly dim-witted neighbor, Noelle (Uma Thurman), instead. Later, Brian makes a surprise visit to the radio station just when Noelle also happens to be there--and naturally thinks she's Abby. Scared of what might happen if Brian learned the truth, Abby asks Noelle to continue the masquerade. To complicate matters more, Brian is such a wonderful guy that both women fall for him. Will Abby--or Noelle--fess up to Brian? And will either one win his heart? Michael Lehmann (HEATHERS, AIRHEADS) directed this romantic comedy that tackles friendship, loyalty, matters of the heart, and the things that make people fall in love. |
