Truth about cats and dogs

PLOT
Sort of Cyrano de Bergerac
REVIEW
The pedigree(!) for this film is the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, later made into Roxanne.Its other pedigree is Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry met Sally etc etc. Frothy comedies that are amiable enough but very like marshmallow - nice to taste but ultimately not as satisfying as steak. I'd never seen the lady I was supposed to see as ugly before but personally would choose her any day over Uma. By the way she has a name: Janeane Garofalo. Apparently I must have seen her in Dogma, but don't remember. I felt the story lacked any depth or tension. I really didn't care that ultimately they would meet up and fall in love and start licking each other's faces.

But it certainly had a great final line as an ending. After the earlier phone sex between the two, Dr. Abby says "about the other night on the phone....I'm pregnant". To which he replies "How do you know it's mine?" "Well I can't be sure as I made loads of other calls that night"[Reviewed by Nuthatch]

Not much to say about this one, it was a frustrating but slightly amusing romantic comedy with the typical unbelievable happy ending. I was left feeling that it had all been done before much better somewhere else [Reviewed by Stonechat]

As generic as the plot is, I found this film to be enjoyable and amusing. The lead character is a fairly complex and believable person who interprets events from her own viewpoint of self consciousness and reacts in a believable manner. As with most romcoms you begrudgingly accept that you like these characters and wish them to be happy in the end despite all odds. One to watch for a grin and a tear. [Reviewed by Merlin]

A lighthearted enjoyable comedy with a fairly predictable plot of 'mistaken identity'. You have to suspend your disbelief somewhat as the hero of the film does not seem to notice that the object of his affections has a completely different voice when he meets her (a little hard to believe after they had spent all night on the 'phone!) Nevertheless, the characters are likeable and we're all rooting for the happy couple. A 'feel-good' film [Reviewed by Nightjar]
