Primarily the setting. Cyrano is set in seventeenth century France, but Roxanne is in twentieth century USA. The dialogue in Rostand's play is in verse but the dialogue in the movie certainly is not. The setting difference results in a host of smaller changes to the plot, which change the story considerably.
