Movie Review

Grade: C The Truth About Cats and Dogs is a delightful and original romance story.

June 21, 2004

I do agree straight away that Abby is alot prettier than Nowell which is a small problem but you can get easily wrapped in the comedy romance of the film. deffinately one to watch even with the few flaws it had.
