Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996)
Plot Outline: Janeane Garofalo plays Dr. Abby Barnes, the "Truth
About Cats and Dogs" radio question-and-answer show host who unwittingly
entices a listener over the radio with her soothing voice and
personality. .............This listener,
Brian, tries to meet the Abby from the radio, but Noelle, played
by Uma Thurman, is mistaken for the real thing when Brian comes
to the studio. Instead of clearing things up right away, the self-conscious
Abby allows her best friend, Noelle, a tall, stunning blonde,
to take her place for a while. Abby takes on the made-up persona
of Donna, while thinking Brian would never go for her, a short,
cute, brunette, who thinks she's unattractive. As the real Abby
woos Brian over the phone and radio, Noelle, the pseudo-Abby,
takes her place in the flesh. As time goes on, Abby feels more
and more confident that Brian would rather have the beautiful
Noelle than the simply attractive Abby.
