Janeane co-starred alongside Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino in the airhead comedy Romy and Michele's High School Reunion; with Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro in the drama Cop Land; opposite Vince Vaughn (Swingers) in the noirish Clay Pigeons; and with longtime associate Stiller in the mordant Jerry Stahl biopic Permanent Midnight. Garofalo reteamed with Stiller for the summer 1999 comedy actioner Mystery Men, an adaptation of Bob Burden's cult-fave comic (they are also set to collaborate on the forthcoming McClintock's Peach), a film she followed up with turns in a succession of quirky projects, including the serial-killer-comes-to-town indie The Minus Man; Dog Park, the oddball directorial debut offering of Kids in the Hall's Bruce McCulloch; and Kevin Smith's infectious studio hot potato Dogma.
