Summary: Funny Funny Funny...loved this movie!
Review: At first I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, and didn't know if I would like it at all. Boy I loved it from the begining to end! A great cast and all around a good movie that will make you laugh!

I was sooooo happy to see Jason Bateman in it as well (as I kid I adored him in Silver Spoons), if you only think that he does comedy, check out Breaking the Rules, he'll make you cry like there is no tomorrow.

All and all this is a fun movie that will keep you smiling through out! And the writing is excellent!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: five stars for funny!
Review: This movie literally had me howling in rapturous glee and disbelief! I couldn't get enough. Sure, it's not even close to Oscar material, and the three seasoned actresses, Cameron, Christina, and Selma have definitely seen better days, but hey, who cares when you're rolling on the floor laughing. This is a major guilty pleasure, a bonafide chick-flick, and a surefire way to take life less seriously for a good hour and a half (approximately). Go ahead, knock yourself out! Poke fun at love and all the things people do for it! It's all in good fun! Who needs sex when you can laugh yourself into orgasm with this movie?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this movie!
Review: I had wanted to see it in the theater while it was out....but didn't get a chance to since it didn't stay long. I ended up renting it on the digital cable all day ticket (the censored version) and ended up watching in four times in a row! It reminded me of the dirty humor from There's something about Mary and American Pie with the witty one-liners from Romy and Michelle's High School reunion and Clueless. I ended up buying the uncensored version of the DVD and I sat there with my jaw in my lap when the cut scene of the "penis song" was played. This movie is full of laughs!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gross-out comedies are excellent!
Review: When this first came out in theaters, I had no intrest in it. Cameron Diaz has never been my cup of tea. BUT, after this got released on video, a good friend of mine said that she loved this movie and that I would love it (considering that I have a dry, nasty sense of humor). So, I rented it and I spend the next 84 minutes of my life laughing nonstop!

The Sweetest Thing is an over-the-top gross-out comedy that will leave you with tears of laughter! Who thought that sweetness could be so vulgar? Let me tell you, vulgerness is reeking throughout this film.

This is a great movie to just kick back with your girlfriends and let loose! If you like There's Something About Mary, American Pie, Scary Movie, or Not Another Teen Movie, then you'll absolutely love this movie!

Also, the Penis song is worth the full price alone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Guy's Opinion....
Review: Let's just say I was reluctant to see this movie. I figured, "Chick Flick", but the girlfriend wanted to see it so I gave in.
First off we got the "Unrated Version". I don't know what was cut from the original, but bottom line, this is an adult comedy.
And damn funny !! Not, even close to being a chick flick. 'Beaches' this is not. It's more like 'Porky's' from the otherside of the bathroom wall.
The only guys that would probally not like this movie, are guys with little ones. Because they do have some "D" jokes about size.
This movie made me and my girl laugh out loud. It's a blast. Sometimes you accually sit there and say "Did, she really just DO/SAY that?"
Go for broke and watch the unrated. You're a big boy/girl now!
DVD behind the sceens are interesting, commentary with the cast,director and writer. Bloopers run during the end credits.
Check this one out!

Summary: Painfully bad
Review: This was hands down the worst movie I have ever seen. If I could have given it no stars, I would have. The whole thing beginning to end was just ridiculous.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mostly fell flat, but with a few chuckles here and there
Review: I can't really say that this movie was as good, bad, better, or worse than I expected. All I can say is that it was much different than the movie marketers made it out to be. I certainly wasn't expecting an American Pie apparently directed toward women in their late twenties and early thirties.

In it's bid to be a gross out comedy, it succeeded in the "gross out" factor, but as a complete movie it just didn't work. To my way of thinking, there are two types of gross out comedies:

1) Basically normal characters in the midst of unlikely, though basically feasible situations (Ex: American Pie).

2) Outlandish characters in outlandish, anything-goes situations (Ex: Dumb and Dumber).

The Sweetest Thing attempted to mix these two types of comedies, pitting basically normal characters into anything-goes situations, and ultimately failed. If you're going to have leftovers shaped into a tinfoil bird defying the laws of physics, toilets spewing water at ten times the pressure of your average firehose, and extras spontaneously breaking into a choreographed song and dance number, your main characters had better be on par with the overacting ability of Jim Carey. This set of characters could at best be considered quirky, and that does not carry an anyting-goes format.

When not being over-the-top in action, a good portion of the movie's gross-out factor comes from the frank, explicit dialogue between the main characters. While this may have an effect on squeamish men who flee the room rather than listen to "girl talk" (we all know a few of those guys, and women for that matter), I must say it had little effect on me. Perhaps I hang out with too many women.

One final thing that irked me was the character played by Selma Blair, simply because she didn't really need to be in the movie, except as filler. She has little to do with any of the main actions of the story, and only seems to be there at all because the director just enjoys working with Selma Blair.

All that being said, I had to give it a couple stars because I did find myself laughing in places, if only because of the sheer stupidity of some of the scenes. While most of the movie missed, there are a couple hits along the way. Plus there are copius scenes with Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in their underwear. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short but sweet
Review: This movie was very short, but cute at the same time. All three of the actresses played well with eachother. I only wish that it had been longer and a little bit more of a story line.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughing all the way to the bathroom!
Review: This movie was the female answer to "Animal house". My husband, myself and a good friend, watched this and had to keep pausing it because we were laughing so loud that we couldn't hear the movie. The songs and the antics were so hilarious, and purely original. I have never laughed so much, well except when watching Jay and Silent Bob strike back. We may be silly, and we may be immature in our humor preferrances, but this is worth a look even if you don't think vulgarity is amusing. The girls are cute and the games they play are real, I know I used to play the same games.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A disgrace to film
Review: I found this movie not only to be unbelievably degrading to women and men, but incredibly offensive. I'm sorry, but nobody wants to hear a man, let alone a woman talk about their genitalia and sex escapades constantly, as the characters do in this film. The plot is tired and repetitive, the script undeniably forced, and the jokes limited to fart and sex. The writers go to far in this film, and end up going backwards. The director and writer go all out in attempts to portray women in a different light, but succeed only in creating three, let's face it, unchaste (and that's in polite terms) morally corrupt women who try to act as men, but end up looking like desperate porn stars. One star, and I'm being generous.
