Of recent updatings of CYRANO DE BERGERAC, this one is one of the best, and is certainly the funniest.  Although THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS has a soft spot in my heart, this version is by far funnier and more romantic.  The other film focuses more on Janeane Garofalo's feelings of inferiority compared to Uma Thurman, and although funny, doesn't strive for the laughs like Roxanne does.  Also, with apologies to Ben Chaplin, he is hardly as adorable as Daryl Hannah.  She has never been lovelier than in this film.
