Summary: This is a good movie
Review: With a great performance from Janeane Garofalo. Because even though we know she is cute and funny, she makes you believe she is not. Truly one of the great comedic performances of the 1990s. This movie is one to slap in the DVD player when you are feeling down.

Summary: Sensitive comedy with true wit.
Review: Writer Audrey Wells has come up with a real gem of a script here, managing to use all the cliches of romantic comedy while somehow making them sound and feel fresh. It helps that the film has Janeane Garofalo, a natural comic talent who doesn't even have to try, in the lead role.The key to Abby as a character is that in the wrong hands, she could easily have slipped into a disgusting stereotype. Fortunately Garofalo isn't just a comic, but a good actress, and it is the moments of connection (and alienation) that make Abby an enjoyable character and a highly effective heroine. The scenes when she watches her best friend with the man she loves through a window, when she comes clean to Brian about who she really is, and when she is finally united with Brian, are all beautifully acted, remarkably restrained moments that are all the more touching and, by virtue of contrast, make the goofier comic moments believable. Ben Chaplin makes for a charming and spontaneous love interest and even the erratic Uma Thurman manages to find a little something more than the dumb-blonde type that she so frequently gets saddled with.
