The Truth About Cats & Dogs
A successful veterinarian and radio show host with low self-esteem asks her model friend to impersonate her when a handsome man wants to see her.
Critics Sentiment
Brian and the real Abby spend seven hours talking on the phone
The deception nearly causes a rift between Abby and Noelle
The film peaks with the seven-hour phone conversation then drops significantly when the deception strains the women's friendship
The film starts warmly with Garofalo's charming radio host persona and builds to an acclaimed extended phone conversation that showcases genuine romantic chemistry. However, the central premise of the 'ugly duckling' casting choice with the attractive Garofalo consistently undermined believability for critics, causing the film to lose steam in its middle section before recovering with a satisfying if predictable resolution.
