This is another rom/com based on the Cyrano Hercule Savinien de Bergerac premise. Like Roxanne, this work holds much charm, some great performances, and not a small amount of charisma. I do find it amusing that many male reviewers of this work find it "disgusting," and "deceitful," where the women in the movie are the antagonists, yet men did not find Roxanne (where the men were the antagonists) anything but entertaining.
Noelle is a model/would be news caster. Abby has her own radio show about pets and how to care for them. Abby chose radio because she is intelligent, yet by standards set in today's society, she finds herself unattractive. Noelle is her polar opposite. She is beautiful and thin, yet can barely hold her own against a fifth grader, conversationally and intellectually.
"You know? Between the two of us, we make the perfect woman!" Uma Thurman as Noelle With the comparison to Cyrano de Bergerac in my opening statement, I'm sure you can deduce what happens when a handsome photographer is introduced into their lives.
This is not exactly sweet, as are most rom/coms. But it is enigmatic and holds a strong draw to see how it finishes out. It was fun, even if it did create an ethical stretch mark on the rom/com sub genre.
It rates a 6.5/10 from...
