Reviews

  • Ms. Garofalo, in a lovely, winning performance, gives Abby lots of heart while also making defensive snappishness a big part of her charm.

  • It has its own sunsplashed vitality, thanks to spirited writing by Audrey Wells and winning performances from all three principals.

  • Written by former deejay Audrey Wells, the observant and funny script includes some wonderful scenes for the leading ladies.

  • Janeane Garofalo in this movie... is so likable, so sympathetic, so revealing of her character's doubts and desires, that she carries us headlong into the story.

  • The Truth About Cats & Dogs is very funny around the edges... but as the characters begin to hang out together, forming a platonic menage a trois, the mistaken-identity ruse never escalates into true screwball lunacy.
