The Sweetest Thing is a good enough time waster of a comedy film. I am honestly surprised to see it rated so low at just 5.0 out of 10 here on IMDb.Obviously I don't think it's an amazingly great film that deserves full marks of 10, but it is a funny enough comedy and I think something in the order of 6.5-7.0 is more accurate. Cameron Diaz is her typical self here. Cute and funny and the audience will like her. She's actually probably as good in this as she was in There's Something About Mary.A lot of the jokes hit but even though there is no nudity in the movie that I can remember, the humour is very adult oriented with tons of implied or simulated sex acts as well as dirty jokes galore, so keep your young ones out of the room when you watch it :-)

A slapstick comedy for those who prefer their slapstick in poor taste. Admittedly, the funniest sequence is that with Charlie Dell as the delightfully fazed Christian priest who attempts to tie the knot in the wedding scene. But come on, boys, play fair! What's the name of the Hollywood movie in which a likably cute but totally ineffectual Jewish rabbi is set up and satirized? Maybe I'm wrong, but off hand, I can't think of any such scenes in any Hollywood movies at all, although there are such interludes in German and Russian movies of the 1930s and early 1940s. However, getting back to The Sweetest Thing, the movie tends to focus all its attention on the ladies. Like the minister, the men are all ineffectual and make little impression. In fact, the movie is virtually an extension of locked-in-the-toilet gags that mostly vary from sickening to indigestible. The Columbia DVD describes the movie as a totally fresh twist. What rubbish! Toilet gags have been with us since at least 5,000 B.C.

To ease their roommate through a relationship-induced depression, Christina Walters and Courtney Rockcliffe take her out on the town. During their attempts to find her "Mr. Right Now", Christina meets Peter Donahue. Missing her opportunity with him that night, Christina is talked into pursuing him to his brother's wedding.....I've seen a hell of a lot of movies. On this site alone, I've reviewed over 1300 movies, and rated over 4000. But hand on heart, I can honestly say that this poor excuse for a movie is the single most awful film watching experience I have ever had.Its sexist in more ways that one could explain, but seeing as its three girls, it's okay, after all,the Spice Girls made girl power so immature and abhorrent back in 1996.Its inconsistent, unfunny, and quite offensive to the senses. If these three characters were support in an American Pie movie, or some other bawdy comedy like Superbad, people would be up in arms declaring the film makers as sexist.Diaz is awful, as is Blair and that awful scene toward the end must have been so embarrassing for her.Applegate is bad, but at least she doesn't over do the stupid lines she is given.Seriously if a film bores me I wouldn't give it a second thought.But this film, centred around poisonous consumerist articles, make the Sex and the City girls look polite and sensitive. It literally made me angry.And for a piece of fiction to do that, really grieves me.

This is possibly the worst most self annihilating film I've ever seen in my life. It was so benial I nearly considered travelling to Hollywood and punching every single member cast and crew, of this movie. Cameron Diaz is a moron. And I hate her.I wish I had just watched porn instead it would have been more interesting, the acting would have been better, the dialogue would have been better, there would have been no penis song and it DEFINITELY would have had a more satisfying ending. If I had any sense I would burn every copy of this movie ever made. It was utterly abysmal and I am shocked and appalled that anyone ever thought it would be a good ideaDon''t watch this. Watch porn.
