The Truth About Cats & Dogs Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Why quibble? You'll still go home purring and wagging your tail.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
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.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
In time... this tale of a terrible quandary becomes as witty and engaging as the confident yet oddly insecure Abby.
Buffalo News
Jeff Simon
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.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Affable yet relatively unmemorable...
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
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.
Common Sense Media
Ellen MacKay
Funny and intelligent, despite some flaws.
Variety
Brian Lowry
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.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Garofalo is accessible to anyone in the audience (except maybe herself).
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Carol Cling
Rom-com charmer with a smart script and Garofalo in top form.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Janeane Garofalo's magnetic yet unconventional presence instantly pulls the audience into the story.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
You can see the outcome from a distance, but Michael Lehmann directs with such snap, and the actors play their concert of comic duets and trios with such skill and charm, that "The Truth About Cats & Dogs" emerges a first-rate romantic comedy.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Though its romantic-comedy triangle borrows heavily from Cyrano de Bergerac, the film has more in common with Three's Company.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Truth About Cats & Dogs is one of those warm-hearted, quick-footed comedies that's light as a feather, fueled by coincidence, and depends above all on the luminosity of its performers.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
This quick-witted romantic comedy is secretly much tougher than it looks.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It has its own sunsplashed vitality, thanks to spirited writing by Audrey Wells and winning performances from all three principals.
