Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Paul Magne Haakonsen When I read the synopsis for "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" I was hoping that it would not be another one of those overly sappy and corny romantic comedy that the movie industry tends to spew out by the dozens. And I was hoping it would be more than such, especially because it had Janeane Garofalo on the cast list.I sat down to watch it in 2016, 20 years after it was released. And this was actually the first time that I have seen it, believe it or not.And it turned out that "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" was a rather enjoyable movie, and one that did offer a bit more than your average run-of-the-mill romantic comedies.The story is about low self-esteemed radio show host Abby who gives a caller named Brian some good advice on how to befriend a dog. And when Brian wants to repay her for her helpful advice, Abby turns to Noelle, a tall model living in her building, to stand in for her and pretend to be her.Of course, there are elements of classic romantic comedy to "The Truth About Cats & Dogs", but it does have more than just that. I liked the aspect of the switched roles and pretending to be someone you are not, as it offered a different approach to the story.And the cast in "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" was just phenomenal. Uma Thurman and Ben Chaplin were doing great jobs and were nicely cast. However, it was Jeneane Garofalo who stole the scene, without a doubt. With her amazing on-screen charisma and presence, she just carried the movie so well on her shoulders. She was an absolute delight to witness in this movie.I was more than genuinely entertained by "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" and it turned out to be a much better movie than I had hoped. So if you haven't already seen his movie, and if you enjoy romantic comedies, then I can more than warmly recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch "The Truth About Cats & Dogs"."The Truth About Cats & Dogs" scores a solid six out of ten stars rating from me.

ersumitprakash01 I guess the worst feeling i had after watching the movie was - why didn't i see it before. I just came to know that its inspired by the play - CYRANO DE BERGERAC. I haven't watched the original play so i can't compare with it but the basic thing that works for the movie is the real people with real emotions that exists in this world. The emotion of low self esteem is wide spread in this world. Without thinking anyone can say that Janeane's acting was stood out in the movie. The basic requirement of a rom-com is to be realistic and display emotions that pertain to individuals thought process. No doubt in saying that this movie excels in that aspect.Definitely not a movie to be missed.

Python Hyena The Truth About Cats and Dogs (1996): Dir: Michael Lehmann / Cast: Janeane Garofalo, Uma Thurman, Ben Chaplin, Jamie Foxx, James McCaffrey: Amusing romantic comedy about gender differences. Janeane Garofalo plays a radio personality who gives advice about pet care. She is insecure but when a male caller is given successful advice he asks her to lunch. Afraid of being brushed off she has the fetching Uma Thurman pose as her. Charming setup follows predictable formula made bearable through its leads. Director Michael Lehmann is given fine chemistry between Garofalo and Thurman who play off the antics effectively. Garofalo brings a fresh energy with her job and self esteem. Thurman plays someone who is dealing with a bad relationship but hopes to succeed in music. We know the outcome but they at least entertain with their back and forth role reversal with regards to voice. Ben Chaplin as the male caller is a predictable prop. He is basically there to be lied too then forgive and forget so that this can be wrapped up without glitches. Jamie Foxx is even less broad and basically renders to the formula. Had the film placed more emphasis on the radio advice it might have been more interesting but as it is it should appeal to fans of chick flicks. It regards genders and personalities and exploits other truths about cats and dogs…and the odd turtle too. Score: 7 / 10

Vic_max This is a charming little movie. Although the story is an old and well-known one, the character performances and script were very good and made this movie interesting to watch. If you don't get interested immediately, give it about 15 minutes - that's what it took me to start really liking it.The movie is a classic "Cyrano de Bergerac" story about a radio talk show host who enlists the help of an attractive neighbor (played by Uma Thurman) to deal with an interested listener to her show.The first time I ventured watching this movie, I quit after about 10 minutes. However, I kept reading good things about it so I went a little further the second time and was hooked to the end.The main character (played by Janeane Garofalo) is brilliantly fun to hear. She is self-doubting, cynical and intelligently witty. Her character, along with a decent script and a few clever bits of wisdom along the way make the movie worthwhile watching. It's not quite "laugh-out" funny, but it's "cute".
