| Faith-restoring in the ancient, decadent �Beauty is in the eye of the beholder� theory (while admitting most folks view beauty as skin deep only), pretty but short-assed Janeane Garofalo sets-up her new best-friend in Uma Thurman with Ben Chaplin, a sweet-but-simple guy Janeane�s character fancies like madness. Muddling identities provide the laughs, and while �THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS� (named after the show radio vet Janeane presents) is perpetually sunny and seen in funny lights, with a conveniently cosy ending, it is down-to-earth and sassily realistic. Seen exclusively from Uma�s and Janeane�s love-sick irises, it takes some convincing that dizzily endearing Uma was so voluptuously gun-toting and �bright� in Tarantino�s 1994 crime-thriller �Pulp Fiction,� and while Uma�s legs turn sex-led heads (the scene where a bycyclist burns by her & wheelies coz she�s so gorgeous, before nearly crashing into a car, is hilarious), it�s clearly Janeane who�s going to ultimately come off a princess in her own cutesy right.
