Plot Summary
Charming and bittersweet, this modern-day romantic comedy starring Uma Thurman, Janeane Garofalo and Ben Chaplin, explores the beguiling perils of mistaken identity. Abby (Garofalo), a savvy, witty veterinarian who hosts her own radio talk show, is anything but confident when it comes to love. A petite brunette, she describes herself as tall and blonde when Brian (Chaplin), a caller who is smitten with her radio persona, asks her on a date. She then talks her tall, blonde neighbor Noelle (Thurman) into assuming her identity, setting off an escalating series of hilarious and romantic crises.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Though its romantic-comedy triangle borrows heavily from Cyrano de Bergerac, the film has more in common with Three's Company.
Customer Reviews
Better Than You Think
I wrote this one off before viewing when it first dropped, in the mistaken belief that Janeane/Uma was utter stunt casting. Happily, years later, I caught it on cable and found it totally entertaining and engrossing. It is definitely a light movie, as has been stated previously, but the relationship between the two women is compelling (moreso possibly than the romantic plot) and the evolution of each one's self-awareness leads them both to bolster the self-confidence of the other and herself. In my opinion, both Janeane and Uma accomplish the necessary transitions with performances that are sincere, humorous, and graceful. Friendly and funny.
Good light movie
Light and playful overall good not sure why people review movies they've never seen?? But the only thing wrong is Uma wrong person for the role.
Cute
Definitely one of my favorite chick flicks. All the characters have a charm about them and the dialogue is good. Highly recommended.
