The Truth About Cats and Dogs The Truth About Cats and Dogs Janeane Garofalo says she can t bear to look at herself on a movie screen. The Truth About Cats and Dogs is the hot date movie of the spring, and Garofalo can take a bow for that. But Abby is desirable, and the deep pleasure of the movie is in watching her realize that. The plot is gimmicky and blatantly Cyrano -ish. He calls and asks to meet her.
Much predictable confusion follows.
Yet Brian can t quite reconcile Noelle s vague manner and general lack of eroticism with Abby s wit and quietly sensual allure. Lehmann doesn t push the sitcom plot twists or anything else. Cats and Dogs isn t all Garofalo s show. In a way, Uma Thurman has the harder role. But Thurman does it.
