Rating: Summary: Utter Trash Review: Is this what 20-somethings think a fun movie is? How sad. While the trio of girl pals here are certainly fetching and shapely, their dialogue and shallow personalities definitely leave something to be desired. This movie left me cold, I don't think I laughed genuinely once. I can only hope young women don't think this movie depicts any sort of reality--and if it does--hopefully the bright minds that I know are out there will strive to change it. ..
Rating: Summary: There's something about ( The Sweetest Thing ) Review: Cameron Diaz plays Christina Walters, a notorious heartbreaker who, as one guy says, "can have any man she wants." The problem is that she doesn't want any of them for long. Christina is interested in sex, not commitment. In some ways, men frighten her. It's easier to love 'em and leave 'em than it is to just love 'em. She spends her evenings club-hopping with her best friends, the equally promiscuous Courtney (Christina Applegate) and the conservative Jane (Selma Blair. Cameron Diaz has become one of the movies' best comediennes, willing to poke fun at herself but losing none of her glamour in the process and in the movie Cameron Diaz was wonderful the movie was fast and jumped around so fluidly we never had time to get bored. it's refreshing to see a girl-power movie that doesn't feel it has to prove anything because Women rule this sex comedy
Rating: Summary: A Sour Attempt Review: Although this film provided the occasional chuckle (which can be counted on less than one hand), ultimately it proved to be a huge disappointment that insults the audience's intelligence. Diaz plays the commitment-shy party gal who knows she can get all the guys, and ineptly throws herself in romantic pursuit of a man she just met because he might be "the one." Furthermore, I fail to understand the appeal of Ms. Diaz and her ... costars,(Christina Applegate and Selma Blair), why they would agree to such ... sight gags is a mystery. I am a fan of Parker Posey, and figure she must have been temporarily insane to agree to this. A wannabe Farrelly brothers film, which is ultimately a cheerless exercise lacking any wit or humour. Did the word plot become obsolete in these people's vocabulary??
Rating: Summary: LOVED IT!!!! Review: I watched this with one of my best friends, my partying buddy. We could relate to so many scenes. Yes, the musical numbers were over the top but, I have not laughed so hard in quite awhile! I showed it to my husband and even he had a good laugh from it!
Rating: Summary: Sweetest thing is the funniest thing Review: I watched this movie with no expectations. I figured a chick flick with the wife would give me points with her. What I got was funny. Cameron plays a ditz and it was great to see Christina Applegate back. She still looks great. All I can say is that the gags are hilarious which is what I wanted so 2 thumbs up.
Rating: Summary: THIS MOVIE IS HORRIBLE!!!! Review: This movie is a disgrace to mankind. It should be burned. It actually gets no stars but that wasnt an option. DO NOT WATCH, BUY, RENT or even read about this movie. BY FAR the worst movie ever! IM SERIOUS.
Rating: Summary: A total waste. Review: First off, do not get me wrong - I am no prude. I love well timed quickly edited comedies and a few good potty or bodily secretion jokes are often lots of fun. This movie however went way off course. I love the cast and concept , but the direction, timing and editing are so flat that none of the jokes really works. You can almost here the director say "now mug shamelessly for the camera and look cute" and the camera stays in place- for a long time. The girls almost look like they are waiting for the film to stop rolling. Really - a sad spectacle.
Rating: Summary: Rotten to the Core Review: This is an awful film--three gals pals whose joint philosophy is "don't worry about meeting Mr Right, there's always Mr Right Now," spend the night in a disco trying to boost the morale of one of the trio who has just been dumped. One girl spends the night with a man she can only describe by his jacket; another girl--the one who is supposed to be heartbroken--spends the night with a man she meets at the disco, and she has the stains to prove it. Meanwhile, Christina (Cameron Diaz) spends the night dreaming of sex with Peter, a man whose bottom she grabbed in the disco. Going with the premise that he's the one she let get away, the trampy trio embark on a road trip to reunite Peter with Christina--all this is supposed to be in the name of true love. But just in case the audience doesn't get it, the script throws in a few old stale scenes and tired jokes for good measure.
Rating: Summary: Perplexed about why Cameron Diaz made this Review: First, I utterly adore Cameron Diaz and as big as she has become as a box office name, I have always been amazed she isn't larger. I really wanted to see this when it came out in the theaters, and was somewhat surprised when it disappeared after only a couple of weeks. I had anticipated having a bit more time. Well, I see now why it didn't stay in the theaters for very long: it simply isn't any good. How did Cameron Diaz get involved in such an unfunny, unpleasant film? There are so many things wrong with this film. First, the director has utterly no sense of comic timing, and scenes never have the subtle things that make for genuine humor. Second, the script is a mess. All kinds of bits and scenes are thrown in that fail time and again to advance the story at all. Instead, all kinds of silliness are thrown in every couple of minutes. Third, the movie is a virtual catalog of the kinds of jokes that can be made about human bodily fluids. Fourth, the movie has a couple of the worst musical numbers I have ever seen in a lifetime of film viewing. This should have been a good movie. All the cast members are good. I have always been surprised that Christina Applegate hasn't had her film career get off the ground after MARRIED WITH CHILDREN. She is cute as a button and utterly adorable, and she and Cameron make a devastatingly gorgeous twosome. Their friend played by Selma Blair is equally as attractive. In fact, the one pleasant thing about the film is that it is good to look at. Not just the women, but the scenery, the clubs, the grounds of the church, etc. Everything looks nice. That is, however, a genuine instance of damning with faint praise. The problem is that while the movie has a strong cast, they aren't capable of overcoming a dreadful script that is in turn horribly directed.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie, Very funny Review: Buy this movie, very funny great to see with girlfriends.
