The Truth About Cats & Dogs


I was just thinking about how much I like this film and how there are so few female buddy comedies. Janeane Garofalo and Uma Thurman were hilarious as one part awkward, one part glam bffs who both had a crush on the adorable Ben Chaplin. Every time I hear Blues Traveler's "Run-Around" I'm reminded of the bar scene where Garofalo's character spills some food on her shirt. And that makes me really miss Garofalo's '90s films. The only actresses who sort of have a similar comedic timing are Kat Dennings and Aubrey Plaza and I wish they got cast in starring roles like this.

A successful veterinarian & radio show host with low self-esteem asks her model friend to impersonate her when a handsome man wants to see her.

If you haven't seen The Truth About Cats & Dogs then add it to your Netflix queue right away!

  3. One of my all time favorite movies. I just loved the character, especially Janeane Garofolo. She kinda reminded me of me, maybe that's why I liked it so much. I think I'll watch it tonight.

  5. It is been a while since I have seen this movie, but I really enjoyed it. Janeane Garofolo is great. I wish she would do more movies like this. I also liked her in The Matchmaker.
