Rating: Summary: Mindless and predictable romantic comedy Review: The sweetest thing about this film is Cameron Diaz. Unfortunately, the script is so mindless and predictable that all the pizzazz that Diaz can muster hasn't a hope of rescuing this film.This is yet another tired romantic comedy about meeting that one true love on the eve of his/her wedding. The cast is energetic but the screenplay is lifeless and crude. Christina (Diaz) is the consummate party girl. She never commits to a relationship. When she runs into Peter (Thomas Jane) in a club they argue, he leaves and of course she falls madly in love with him and tracks him down on his wedding day, aided and abetted by her loyal friends Courtney (Christina Applegate) and Jane (Selma Blair). There are a few funny scenes, but mostly it is just a parade of visual blonde jokes and tasteless humor. The portrayals are extremely demeaning to women. Diaz is vivacious, energetic, cute, pouty and cold all at the same time. This performance is a no brainer for her (literally and figuratively) and doesn't really test her acting ability. Christina Applegate plays an uncharacteristically smart character (though no rocket scientist) and probably delivers the most dynamic performance of the cast. Selma Blair is the least well known of the three, but steals just about every scene she is in. Thomas Jane is soggy in the romantic lead with all the magnetism of overcooked pasta. This film laid an egg at the box office and rightfully so. It had a good first week and then tanked as is often the case when a popular star like Diaz opens a mediocre film and word of mouth overcomes the initial hype. I rated it a 5/10. The cast tries hard to have fun with it, but the material is just too dopey.
Rating: Summary: Gross Chick Flick Review: Gorgeous Cameron and two nubile but brainless companions go on a roadtrip with gross mishaps whilst Cameron pursues true love. Sounds appealing? Especially if her two companions are Christina Applegate and Selma Blair? Sorry! If you are easily offended, stay away. Gross-outs hang like underwear from a clothesline. Having seen Cameron give two fine performances in My Best Friend's Wedding and Head Above Water, I was dismayed to see her in this pathetic loser of a movie. She's in danger of being typecast in these gross-out exploitation projects such as There's Something About Mary which was only slightly better. Sweetest Thing's biggest problem is that it tries too hard to be raunchy and funny but fails miserably. Even the outtakes shown along with the screen credits at the very end are not funny. It is replete with unfunny sight gags, in fact Selma Blair almost literally gags on one. Applegate does a memorable scene with a urinal in the men's room that should have been left on the cutting room floor or better yet, flushed down the toilet. Instead we are made uncomfortable and embarrassed for her. Miss Diaz as the sweetest thing , is mostly spared degrading herself. Ultimately, even Cameron Diaz's high-wattage beauty and charisma can't save this gross chick-flick
Rating: Summary: Cameron Diaz is hillarious in this gross-out comedy. Review: Don't go renting this movie expecting a nice, squeaky-clean romantic comedy. It's Not. It's a gross-out, wildly hillarious, fart joke of a good time. Christina Applegate is absolutely hillarious as Diaz's friend. Diaz also proves that she can hold a starring role. Selma Blair really isn't in the movie a whole lot, but her scenes are pretty funny. This movie is not for the faint at heart. Jokes include a song devoted to the penis, a glory hole, a pierceing in a bad spot, rotten chinese food, and a man's bathroom. Be sure to check this one out if your a fan of "American Pie" of "There's Something About Mary!"
Rating: Summary: Not just funny if you're a girl! Review: About a month or two ago, this movie was released in Europe. I saw it in a Sneak Preview. And I have to say it's really funny and refreshing to see this kind of movie from the women's point of view. Yes, it was a perfect movie for my mood. I wanted to have a good laugh, and "The Sweetest Thing" definately delivered. From the introduction of Christina's character (by a bunch of frustrated males) to the hilarious scenes when the three heroines go to a nightclub, and Christina meets her match. All three women are memorable, and what's more; perfectly believable. And you can tell (don't leave right away when the credits start rolling!) that the actrices have had a lot of fun making this movie. The strength of the movie is it's energetic pace and it's raunchy humor! In a spotlight review, someone regarded to this movie as a Chick-Flick. I only partly agree. Why? Because this movie is just as funny if you're a guy!
Rating: Summary: One of the best movies ever. Review: I thought that this movie was the funniest thing i have ever seen. The people that hated this movie, what were you thinking? The scene where Cameron, Christina and Selma were sat at a table and suddenly stood up and sang a song called 'your too big to fit in here' was very clever and very funny. The three main girls are perfect for their part, i would recommend this movie to any girl and most boys. i havent got the DVD yet but i soon will.
Rating: Summary: HOLLYWOOD TRASH Review: PITY THE ABOVE RATING SCALE DOES NOT HAVE ZERO OR NEGATIVE VALUES. IF A MOVIE COULD BE GIVEN AN AWARD FOR BEING THE WORST FILM OF THE CENTURY OR EVER, THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY WINNER!
Rating: Summary: Nice entertainment Review: I saw the movie just last nigth and I think it was good entertainment even though I wouldn't watch that movie with someone without being emarassed from time to time. The acting was ok, the plot rather simple and predictible. I may watch it again.
Rating: Summary: The Sweetest Thing is SWEET!!!! Review: This has got to be the most hilarious movie I have ever seen! I laughed from beginning to end. Guys and girls will love it! There is just one funny scene after another, some to make you almost pee on yourself. If you want laughter, buy this one but I must warn you not to let young children see this.
Rating: Summary: No sugar at all... Review: This movie was like a bunch of movies toghether.It had no creativity, but it was still a funny popcorn, afternoon movie. And of course, the best thing of it it's that you'll see Cameron Diaz doing so many things, like singing, dancing, having sex, oral sex, and a lot more. 3 friends, Christina Walters(Diaz), Courtney(Christina Applegate) and Jane(Selma Blair) are no looking for the right man.They are lookinf for Mr right now. When Chrsitina gets tired of dumping men like garbage, she's mets Peter(The real bad actor Thomas Jane).They fell in love in the second they saw eachother. As soon as the movie started the only thing we'll see are: Sexual jokes(Like American Pie, There's something about Mary), hot dancing(Charlie's angels, American Pie), stupid little musical numbers, movie montajes and more sexual jokes. It's not a bad movie and sure it's not great, but it was good cheap fun. Cameron Diaz looks great here, she's so talented and beautiful. Christina Applegate it's a goddess, and Selma Blair has the cutest little face. OK, we all know that they're beautiful. It's a good movie to see with friends or a girlfriend/boyfriend. Director R. Kumble has no idea of what has he done.I mean, it's like a bunch of movies in one. But his last film, Cruel Intentions, was so cool.It had Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillipie, Resee Witherspoon and ohh!, Selma Blair. Fun, that's the only thing you'll get from this movie. And of course, Diaz, Apllegate and Blair. THE SWEETEST THING (U.S.A./2002/84') Starring: Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Selma Blair, Thomas Jane, Parker Posey Directed by R. Kumble Rated: R Final Grade: C+(7)
