Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

This movie has held up over a long period of time due to stellar performances by Janeane Garofalo and Uma Thurman, and that's really all it has going for it. Great actors giving solid delivery in a decent script.

It does remind me of Cyrano de Bergerac a bit, but it's a classic switcheroo trope for a romantic comedy that gives a life lesson of beauty is what you make of it.

My biggest problem is that they basically call Garofalo ugly because she's not Thurman, which doesn't make sense to me.

Other that that, the script is strong enough without being spectacular, and I feel like the cast had to work very hard to make the movie what it is.

A modern day reboot is surely on the way with it being about a podcast of the same name.

You've reached the end.
