On the whole, I enjoyed this film. Abby is a well-known vet who hosts a radio show answering queries about pets – particularly cats and dogs. She gets a call from a man in an unusual situation.. and after she helps him, he asks to meet her. Abby considers herself unattractive, and sets him up with her tall, blonde neighbour Noelle. A case of mistaken identity ensures and all the humour that can go with this rather cliched situation. Eventually all is resolved, and I would have liked the film very much had it not been for the added parts that pushed the rating up to 15 – a few unecessary swear words, and a bizarre, equally unecessary pseudo-sex scene via the phone. Still, overall it was an enjoyable film with a good message about the importance of personality over looks… a little puzzling since Abby, despite being short, was rather more attractive than the tall blonde.

Not the most brilliant writing, and Uma Thurman really needs my fist in her face, but definitely worth watching because lord, how I love Janeane Garofalo.
