Summary: If you wanna make a....
Review: If you wanna make a porno, get it over with and do it. This film takes three pretty good actresses, and has them re-do scenes that have already been done in American Pie 2, Porky's, and numerous other throwaway teen films. It is stupid, vapid, vacuous, and totally a tease on many levels. Howard Stern would probably say this is one of the great classics, because it promises the world, and delivers absolutely nothing.

Summary: Rent It.....
Review: I was about to buy this DVD even though I had never seen the film but I decided to rent it first and Thank God I did!! I love Christina, and Selma, and Cameron really I do, but this movie was flat out horrible.
It started out pretty cute with the guys talking about Camerons' character, but as soon as she started dancing on the sidewalk I knew it was going to be one of those shock value films with no actual believable acting involved, but i didn't expect them to break into song about penis size.
Now I usually love sick humor films, but something about this one just didnt seem right. I'm sure it was that nothing the friends did seemed like anything a normal girl would do. (i.e. pee in a urinal or burst into song about penis size)
Yeah I laughed a few times but mostly I was confused by how choppy the plot was. It was almost like they couldn't be bothered to have some actual acting take place before jumping into the next "Shocking Girl Moment" they just cut to one right after another.
By the end I didn't even care if she got the guy I just wanted to move on to the next movie I rented.

Summary: Finally!
Review: "The Sweetest Thing" isn't the best movie of the year, no. But after a particularly cruddy day, my best girl friend, popcorn, and this movie were enough to get us out of my rut and giggling.This movie was so refreshing. Cameron Diaz at last reprises a role that makes use of her innate comedic timing, and is strongly backed by a delicious Christina Applegate as well as versatile teen-flick actress Selma Blair (who, at age 30, is Thank Merciful God finally playing someone her own age). Another reviewer suggested it was the dawn of a new genre, an approximation with which I must strongly agree. This movie is the first so-called Chick Flick which actually looks and sounds like real girls getting together for a good time. Yes, girls think about sex, too! Yes, they even dream sex! Yes, there is such a thing as a girl "player"! It is a great cinematic stride when women can be sexualized without being objectified, or better yet, without being perceived as promiscuous skanks. And, in the past, the raunch has been withheld from female viewers. Sauciness in cinema has systematically been reserved for adolescent boys and the men who think like them; the women get comedies like "Runaway Bride," movies which make jokes about things like fear of commitment or weight gain. That's not funny! It's about time we got our own sex and fart jokes! This movie, then, is a pioneer in its own way, and there hopefully will be many more movies taking a cue from its fun formula. Perhaps you won't take your boyfriend to see it (guys probably just won't get it), and definitely heed the R rating, and no, not even all women of the target demographic will enjoy it. But all in all, it's likely a DVD you'll want to keep hidden on your shelf for a rainy Girl's Day In. 3 and 1/2 of 5.

Summary: Move over Mel Brooks
Review: I saw "The Sweetest Thing" in its original theatrical release. At the time, it struck me as a brain-dead comedy about three women and their lovelorn lives. Starlets Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair all seemed to be having a fun time up there on the screen and the movie was a harmless way to waste 90 minutes. Recently, however, I've had occasion to see the unrated version of "The Sweetest Thing" on DVD and I feel an overwhelming need to comment. The principal addition to the unrated version is a musical number cut from the theatrical release called "The Penis Song". You read that right. It starts off with the three main characters in a restaurant discussing how they talk to men about their private parts - always telling them how big and beautiful they are. Their talk is very frank (pun intended). Somewhat incongruously, they start to talk out loud so that everyone in the restaurant can hear them (a la "When Harry met Sally"). A keyboardist at the next table starts playing and the whole place breaks out into song (a la "Fame") - The Penis Song! I don't think I've heard three women use the word "penis" more times in the span of five minutes in my entire life. With moves borrowed from the "Solid Gold Dancers" from TV's "Dance Fever", Cameron, Christina and Selma sing about men who are soooooo big, they just can't accomodate them sexually ("You're too big to fit in here!" the girls coo, with gestures to the relevant parts of their anatomies). It was right about the part that Christina Applegate grabbed an umbrella and waggled it in front of her crotch as if it was a gigantic male member projecting from her groin that my jaw hit the floor. I was speechless. I'm not kidding. This thing literally paralyzed the speech centers in my brain for about 15 minutes. I have never seen anything so brazen in my entire life. Supposedly, this sequence was left out of the theatrical release because, at the test screening, all the men hated it (although, supposedly, all the women loved it). As a man, I wasn't offended by any of this - just shocked out of my mind. Do women really talk this way? Upon reflection, this sequence reminds me of the infamous "Springtime for Hitler" musical number in Mel Brooks' "The Producers". In fact, as I think to it, this number actually outdoes "Springtime for Hitler" in terms of tastelessness and vulgarity. Indeed, I'm willing to go down on record as saying that "The Penis Song" will be remembered as the most tasteless, foul and offensive musical number in motion-picture history. They beat Mel Brooks. I don't know how they did it, but they beat Mel Brooks.

Summary: sweet movie!!!!!
Review: The Sweetest Thing is just one of those movies that you have to see with a bunch of friends. The hilarious twists this film incorporates into the "dating scene" will have you rolling on the floor!! And it's like Something About Mary comidic style aims to please.
The casting in this movie was perfect! Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair play a group of women playing the field, and giving men a taste of thier own medicine! I was really impressed with Selma Blair's performance, she get's herself into embarrasingly compromising positions, that you just can't help but laugh out loud at the hilarity of them!
Unfortunatly, Cameron Dias's character falls head over heels for a man that she hardly knows and has to go on a mini road trip with Applegate, in her disgusting car, to find him. I will not give away the good parts, I just strongly suggest you watch The Sweetest Thing and enjoy!

Summary: Unbeleivable
Review: This movie was terrible. I couldn't beleive the actresses in this movie actually agreed to do some of the scenes. Talk about taking the low road. They've taken it lower than Porky's ever did, at least in the "Unrated Version", though I'm sure a lot of this must appear in the theatrical release too. I just can't get over Cameron Diaz and even Christina Applegate agreeing to this movie. Just terrible. If it was at least funny, it would've helped.

Summary: THE FEMALE VERSION OF PORKY'S!!!! Its about time!
Review: This movie is fantabulous!!! It truly fits the call for a female's version of sex and relationships to the funniest scale since the Porky's to the more recent American Pie's. Women dominate in this movie and express their "raunchy side" and it's
done very well! I went to see this movie just to go see a movie. and to be honest I wasn't interested in it from its television previews. But to my surprise, I had a blast watching this movie...I laughed, still do sometimes when I
think of certain scene's. It's a treat!! I recommend it to all
the girls out there who just need to laugh a bit!
Enjoy!

Summary: I'm disappointed!
Review: "The sweetest thing" is not the kind of movie I expected. The cast is great, but the plot is clueless. Cameron Diaz plays a woman who likes to go out with her friends and avoids all kinds of deep relationships with men. One day, she goes to a club and meets a nice guy, who is suddenly discarded by her, like all the others. When she is at home, she realizes he could be "Mr. Right" for her and she becomes obsessed with him. Then she travels with one of her friends to another city just to meet the guy again to see what happens. The main problem with this movie is that the director wanted to create "classical" scenes to be remembered, like the one in "when harry met sally", in which meg ryan fakes an orgasm in the middle of a restaurant. In the case of "The sweetest thing" the girls sing a song about penis inside a restaurant (the comparison is inevitable!). Besides that, all you can see is a bunch of unrealistic scenes about some women pretending to be independent. It's a pitty, because this film had all the necessary elements to be a blockbuster movie.

Summary: Horrible, unfunny and NO FEMALE NUDITY! Don't bother.
Review: Horrible! Not funny, amateurishly directed (bad TV movie production qualities) and NO FEMALE NUDITY!
My girlfriend wanted to see this, so I saw it. Bad stuff. She didn't like it either and niether did the audience ( all 8 of them).
Why is Cameon Diaz in this piece of dreck?
Don't bother. Dont give these people any of your money. Wait til its on cable and see it for free and then see how bad a movie can be.

Summary: Worst movie I've seen in a long time!
Review: With such big names in the cast, you'd have thought that this movie would have been great. And, I am a Cameron Diaz fan. The first mistake was casting a group of actors pushing thirty and have them try to act in a role with situations more accommodating a high school senior. My 20 year old daughter even thought they were trying to play a younger part, being older, and it didn't work. Secondly, the scenes are predictable and not very funny either. If you saw the previews for this movie on TV, then you saw the best parts. Thirdly, I really enjoyed American Pie (both), and this isn't even in the same galaxy, much less ballpark. It was difficult to finish watching this movie.
