What they share

Both films are directed by Michael Lehmann, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to 40 Days and 40 Nights, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Truth About Cats & Dogs is

Here's a rom-com that dared to ask: what if a woman lied? Abby, a vet and radio personality, enlists her friend to stand in for her when a listener wants to meet. The film manages to be both predictable and slightly odd.
