The Truth About Cats and Dogs or Just Some Bad Human Acting?

I watched The Truth About Cats and Dogs this weekend, a shocking expose on canine/feline relations. For some reason they cast people as the animals. While Jeanine Garofalo really captured the emotion and fear behind taboo animal relationships, I didn’t get the sense that the other characters understood what it’s like to be a dog. Or a cat, for that matter. I think the director would have been better off casting real dogs and cats in the roles rather than humans. While humans have made great strides in depicting emotion, they have a long way to go. The Truth About Cats and Dogs earned two wags from this reviewer!
