Summary	"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
Content	This movie purports to tell the "truth" about cats and dogs, but I'm pretty sure there are still some things they're not telling us. Amiable comedy earns high marks for its sly wit and adorable assortment of furry co-stars, plus Janeane Garofalo looks surprisingly hot in a thong bikini.

Summary	Good romantic comedy
Content	Genre: Romantic Comedy Genre Grade: B+ Final Grade: B I had never seen this movie before but I watched it on Comedy Central today. It was a pretty good movie. I thought some lines in the movie were hilarious. The movie was all about playing with the cliche that only attractive women get the man...but then what romantic comedy isn't? No, it might have walked the same line as many movies before it, but it actually had strong characters and a good story. If you're like me and you've never watched this movie, I would suggest it if you enjoy these kinds of movies. Quotables: Abby: I have to tell you something. Brian: What? Abby: The other night on the phone... I'm pregnant. Brian: Oh darling...are you sure it was me? Abby: I don't know. I made a lot of phone calls that night.

Summary	Love for Real People
Content	Being an action movie fan, I rarely enjoy movies about love because they always seem to be centered around some incredibly beautiful woman, the type of woman that rarely becomes the average guy's wife. This movie breaks through that stereotype by casting Janeane Garofalo as animal talk show hostess Abby. Abby (Janeane) is pretty, but not pretty in the way that her neighbor Noelle (Uma Thurman) is. In the principal stereotype of the movie, it is obvious that Abby is intelligent and well-educated, and Noelle is a few pennies short of a dollar. When Abby takes a call from Brian (Ben Chaplin), there is an immediate attraction between the pair. However, when Brian asks Abby to meet him, insecure Abby describes Noelle. Abby's insecurity tells her that men are principally interested in tall leggy blonds with big, well, you know. As the movie progresses, there is the usual humor as the three characters keep meeting while Abby and Noelle attempt to pull off the deception that Noelle is Abby. Of course, Brian is in love with a brain, not a body, and eventually the truth must come out. Enough said about that part of the movie. The question of beauty in movies is rarely tackled as squarely as it is in this movie. While it would be easy to suggest that the movie implies Abby is not pretty, Abby is doing that. She is very pretty in this movie, both physically and mentally, but Brian (you got it right Brian!) is interested in her brain first. Brian does find Abby attractive, but Abby keeps interpreting everything Brian does as fitting with her stereotype of shallow men. This movie is no more about real life than any other movie. However, the movie shows that people who look like they could live next door to you could and should find true love, because in real life that is exactly where you find it.

Summary	Great Movie with excellent performances.
Content	I vaguely remember seeing the trailer for this film at the time of its release (1996) but only caught it accidentally on television the other week. Janeane Garofalo, Uma Thurman and Ben Chaplin are superb together and have a real chemistry. The only thing which rankled a little was the fact that there is no way on Earth that Janeane could be regarded as unattractive. Amazingly at one point in the film she is called ugly by one of the characters!. But hey this is Hollywood after all. Try and catch it. You won't regret it.
