The Truth About Cats & Dogs Reviews

Why quibble? You'll still go home purring and wagging your tail.

Full Review | Sep 9, 2020

Though the basic brains-versus-beauty tension suggests a female variation on The Nutty Professor, this is a softer version of the dilemma than Jerry Lewis offers-easier to take and easier to forget.

In time... this tale of a terrible quandary becomes as witty and engaging as the confident yet oddly insecure Abby.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 9, 2020

It's a charming little romantic comedy that never tries to outweigh its own charm. Best of all, it never forgets how much that charm is dependent on the woman in its center.

Affable yet relatively unmemorable...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 8, 2019

You feel that Lehmann has too much affection for the people on screen to let them seem like dupes. Then again, that's part of the movie's charm.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Sep 7, 2011

Funny and intelligent, despite some flaws.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2011

What really makes "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" special in places... is Garofalo's dry, self-effacing wit and Thurman's ditzy, old-style Hollywood glamour.

Garofalo is accessible to anyone in the audience (except maybe herself).

Rom-com charmer with a smart script and Garofalo in top form.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 21, 2006

It's a relief to come across a Hollywood comedy which doesn't talk down to the audience.

Full Review | Feb 9, 2006

Janeane Garofalo's magnetic yet unconventional presence instantly pulls the audience into the story.
