Product Description

From Amazon.com

One of the most memorably offbeat romantic comedies of the 1990s begins when a talk-radio veterinarian named Abby (Janeane Garofalo) takes a call from Brian (Ben Chaplin), the owner of a roller-skating Great Dane. Brian is intrigued by Abby's voice and asks if she'll agree to meet him. Insecure about her looks and her nonexistent love life, Abby agrees, but describes herself as a tall blonde, then begs her attractive neighbor Noelle (played by Uma Thurman) to meet with Brian in her place. The ensuing case of switched identity is complicated when Noelle takes a liking to Brian who, of course, thinks she is Abby. This confusion gains comedic momentum when Abby safely plays herself on the radio and in a long, hilariously seductive phone call with Brian, but by now the situation has grown hopelessly complex, and Abby has to find a way to reveal herself without disappointing Brian. Many viewers rightly complained that the movie relies on the assumption that Abby is unattractive, even though Garofalo is more attractive and appealing here than she'd been in several movies before and since. Still, this contemporary variation on Cyrano de Bergerac is a lightweight, good-natured surprise that values the quirks and foibles that make lovelorn romantics (including their pets) uniquely appealing. --Jeff Shannon

This is one of the best comedies i've ever seen, reverse roles, great actors and a perfectly plotted storyline. Romance, comedy, drama, this movie has it all, Uma thurman is great.

THE TRUTH April 6 2004
Format:DVD
This with out a doubt has to be one of the best films I have ever seen. The only reason I first watched this was because Jamie Foxx was in it, but I was pleasentlly surprised to see such a good film. Michael Lehmann did a great job directing this film, the film was shot with perfection. Audrey Wells made a right move puting money [ececutive producer] and writing into this film [writer].

The casting for the film was great, all did great jobs on this movie. First off is Uma Thurman who did a great job as the beatifull typical blonde. She is very belivable in this roll, and very lovable at the same time. Next up is Janeane Garofalo who did an excellent job on this film as the typical everyday person. She might be the best person in this film all around, she did a great job. Next up is the very talanted Ben Chaplin, if any one out shines Janeane in this it would be him. I feel he did great in the roll of the missguided lover. He did a great job in this roll, he was perfect for it. Also is the reason I watched, Jamie Foxx delivers with a good performance but he is rarly on screen to deliver a full out classic performance.

The story follows Ben as he is drawn into Janeane threw her voice but when he wants to meet her she brings in Uma as her stand in. When she falls for him the games really begin. I'd rather you see for yourself.

Hilarious!!!!! Mar 12 2004
Format:DVD
This movie truly touches the themes of how the society is focus on the beauty outside, when it's really what it is inside that counts. Janeane garofalo gives an outstanding performance as well as Uma Thurman, a great and funny romantic comedy, that will teach you about the real love, the story based on a radio dj in love with his fan is well done, that doesn't make you believe in one instance that it's unreal....great movie....funny times...

Good Date Movie, 20 Minutes Too Long
Terrific casting and a good date movie but it drags rather badly for the last half hour, needed to be about twenty minutes shorter. Read more

One of my favorites
Anyone who thinks Janeane Garafolo isn't leading lady material should be pistol-whipped. That said, you should check out this flick. Read more
