A light romantic comedy featuring a vet who is confident answering questions on a popular radio show, but very insecure about men, and about her appearance. She and her tall neighbour Noelle embark on an increasingly confusing deception when one of Abby's questioners asks her on a date.

It's frivolous with an underlying serious side (does appearance or personality matter more?) slightly confused because we thought Abby actually more attractive than her neighbour, although she was supposed to be frumpy. If it weren't for an implied scene of intimacy over the phone, it would be suitable for all the family, although the story is unlikely to be of much interest to children or younger teens.

Rated 15 in the UK, PG-13 in the US.

Two unlikely new friends accidentally Cyrano de Bergerac a guy.

3/4 (Good).

I was frustrated sometimes while watching it, but after sitting with it for a little while, I'm increasingly okay with it. ( )
