Summary: Save your money!!
Review: A one star rating is too good for this movie. It's awful!! It tries too hard to be another "Something About Mary", a movie I loved. The comparisons to "Bridget Jones' Diary" are an insult to that movie, which I also loved. The endless song and dance routines try to be campy but are really just annoying. One redeeming note was watching Christina Applegate who was probably the only good thing in the movie. It's too bad - cute idea for a movie gone really, really wrong.

Summary: Previews Are Misleading
Review: To see the previews for this film, you'd think romantic comedy, fun for the family right? Not so, definately NOT a film for anyone under 16. Although there is somewhat of a romantic story line in the plot, the film revolves almost entirely around sex sex sex! The girls in this movie are [very amourous] and live the american stud's dream life!
Although it is a funny movie if you get the sexual inuendo's and can tolorate an off color sense of comedy, to those who embarras easily, stay away or you will be as red as a lobster!

Summary: so THIS is what passes for a movie?
Review: It's the worst DVD in my collection. Pretty girls. That's all I can type good about it. Applegate, Blair and Diaz have done better. Predictable story... silly sex gags... SILLY! And not even in a good way! No one acts like that! It's made by a writer for "South Park"! Nuff said?
I'd have liked it when in the fifth grade, maybe.
And the "unrated" bit! That's a joke! There is nothing there that is not "R rated"! It's just... lame! Don't expect any nudity guys! The guy looking in the car at Diaz's underwear clad bottom... We can't even see it!
All the media attention, the commercials, etc., on this garbage is amazing! I like Christina Applegate's looks and Selma Blair's looks and acting ability! It's just hard for me to believe that this "movie" is even out there! That people spent time and money and effort making this is beyond my realm of comprehension! It's just... nothing!
And it's not just me, my wife didn't like it either! Buy something else unless you're a ... hard fan of the stars in the film.

Summary: Lighthearted and Funny
Review: I found this movie to be a laugh out loud kind of movie. It is "stupid" comedy but Cameron Diaz does a great job and Christina Applegate is great! If you want a movie that is easy to watch and lighthearted then this is in that category. It is entertaining and funny. I enjoyed it...and have already watched it 3 times. I like movies that you don't have to concentrate and "figure" out a plot...and this is that kind of movie. I would compare it to "Something About Mary"...it is silly like that movie is and maintains it's entertainment value.

Summary: Leaves A Bad Taste.......
Review: Although I knew from the open, that this was an exercise in the absurd, Cameron Diaz gyrating down the street like a deranged valley girl juxtaposed into the hilly streets of San Francisco? I watched "The Sweetest Thing" anyway................. Diaz plays Christina, who looks up from her rollerblading and walkman long enough to trip over galpal Courtney anyway(Christina Applegate), dressed like a corporate lawyer. I suppose we should believe it when we find out she IS one here, solely on the basis of her attire. These two are best friends, and if that's not hard enough to swallow, add Jane, the third and most unwelcome wheel in this car-wreck trio. It seems that Jane, played by Selma Blair in an eerily revisited naive, loose bimbo bent as in "Cruel Intentions", (see my review)is not happy unless she is being used, abused and laughed at by everyone in town, literally. Does anyone really think this is a girl bonding film? A girl BONDAGE film would be less humiliating to women compared to her role here. ...............The ONLY good thing in this film, and the only character I cared about is Peter. (Thomas Jane) Peter is about to get married when he meets Christina, gyrating for a change, at a bar. There is something electric for both, and Christina, a FEMALE commitment-phobic, feels he may be the one. Since she can't forget him, she drags Courtney on the worlds most rediculous roadtrip to find him. If two girls using a filthy public mens room, to wash off a container of spilled festering maggots sounds good, followed by hovering over a urinal for it's intended use...but not in any position normally used by a human, which subsequently causes a geyser to erupt from it, look no further for a quality viewing experience. ............... "The Sweetest Thing" tries so hard to be funny, it misses the mark more often than not. As a woman, I can't see this being a female empowerment film. Just because Christina is commitment-phobic, a classic man problem revisited in every venue, she doesn't get any upper hand here. She is not a sympathetic character, and even when getting what she wants, she nearly blows it anyway. ................. Speaking of blowing it, the trio's aforementioned Jane, played by Selma Blair has to be in one of the most humiliating roles a female has ever played. Picture a life, where the removal of protein stains oddly positioned on clothing lead to embarrassment at the cleaners. How about a large object lodged behind her tonsils with a human still attached, and needing to sing classic Aerosmith to dislodge it, along with a viewing audience in chorus. Let's not forget, the conjugal visit to her workplace storage room, from a boyfriend in a big fluffy animal suit that bops her on the head repeatedly while physically engaged. Is that what the real life of the strong modern woman is supposedly like? I just want to let the guys know that are asking, the answer is NO. ................. While "The Sweetest Thing" has a few good moments, mostly the romance between Diaz's Christina, and Jane's Peter, there are too many over the top, debasing moments to lift the film from wallowing in an abundance of trite silliness. Watch once if you are inclined, and then forget it.

Summary: THE WORST MOVIE EVER!!!
Review: This is the WORST... movie Hollywood has ever produced. This is worse than "Battlefield Earth" and "Swept Away".
You will be embarresed for the actors/actresses. Unclever dialogue, unfunny vulgarity, projectile vomitting. "The Penis Song" scene is ABSOLUTELY UNWATCHABLE. The charecters are completely unlikable. You will spend most of your time pressing FFWD on the remote to end it as QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Don't waste your time. Believe me, This DVD isn't even worth using as a drink coaster. A PIECE OF GARBAGE 100%.

Summary: American Pie...for girls
Review: Okay, I'll admit it...The Sweetest Thing is not exactly an Oscar-worthy performance. However, it never fails to entertain. With raunchy, in-your-face humor, this movie will surely leave you, or at least all females, crying from laughter! Understandbly, I have found that guys aren't too fond of this girly film, but I have never met a girl yet who hasn't cracked up laughing. Think American Pie, with all its vulgar humor and hilarious adventures, only with girls. Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair are three best friends, in search for the perfect man. they manage to stay friends through everything. With a perfect combination of humor and girl bonding, this is the perfect movie to watch on a girl's night out. Even though it might not win the awards, it will leave you with a smile on your face!

Summary: A bad one
Review: I always love Western movies, but this one is an exceptional case.
For the girls, they are ok! Doing just fit their roles. However, the story .... a big problem. It makes me feel the Director rushed to end the story.
Especially the dancing scene in the Chinese resturant. It's really awful when they sang sth " ..." Not funny i think...

Summary: Horrible
Review: This was quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen, and
that is saying a lot! There are a couple of lonely chuckles
here and there, but for the most part the "humor" is unfunny,
vulgar, and tasteless. Cameron looked great as usual, but my
God, didn't she read the script before signing the contract?
Save your money and your time and avoid this drivel.

Summary: Hopelessly Hilarious Chick Flick
Review: The Sweetest Thing directed by Roger Kumble is truly one of the more funny chick flicks that I have seen in a long time. Christina (Cameron Diaz), Courtney (Christina Applegate), and Jane (Selma Blair) are good friends who anyone with a close friend could relate to. They are the steorotypical single party girls who are really out to find love, but want to have some fun on the way. This movie fulfills every guys fantasy of why women go to the bathroom together. After Jane gets dumped by her boyfriend Christina has the brilliant idea of going to their favorite bar. Here she meets Peter (Thomas Jane) who she thinks could be her Mr. Right. They at first do not hit it off, but later that night make amends. Christina's Mr. Right invited her to his hotel room for a party. She however does not go leading her to wonder what could of happened, could he of been the one? After much thought about Peter including a sexual fantasy Courtney and Christina go on the ultimate roadtrip to crash what they believe is his brothers wedding. On their roadtrip they stop at a public restroom and sneak into the guys' restroom since the ladies room was occupied. A string of events occur here that will keep you at the edge of your seat laughing hysterically. When they arrive in the town they stop at what appears to be the only boutique for the next 30 miles. Here they have a movie montage and try on some definite old lady clothes. When they arrive at the wedding Christina finds herself meeting the bride and settling her wedding jitters. After the bride leaves Christina gets herself locked in the rectory. Courtney comes to her rescue as a good friend would and they find a way to crash the wedding. Low and behold they arrive and hear that it is actually Peter getting married. Heartbroken they return home and find Jane in a compromising position with her new man. This movie will make you think of your own friends and deep down you know that you would of done what these girls did for love. It is one of the best chick flicks that I have seen in a long time. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate play a great pair. Throw in the combination with Selma Blair who I had previously believed as being prudish, it will leave you walking away giggling to yourself.
