Summary: Great Film
Review: It was obvious to me from reading some of the other reviews that they were expecting the usualy banality of the Hollywood chick flick. Perhaps they should stick to things more their speed like, Pretty Woman or Maid in Manhattan. This film is funny, funny, funny. It's campy and original. The caste was excellent. There were many occassions that I laughed out loud and many scenes I replayed. If you watch this movie I am sure you will have your favorites too. Men and women alike. Just open up your mind a little.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun!
Review: How can anybody not like this movie?!?! The main performances are so endearing. Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair are hilarious comic actresses, and could make even the limpest script (which this is so not!) worth watching. They are obviously having a great time, and their enthusiasm is contagious.
I bought this DVD out of curiosity and was very pleasantly surprised. Certainly it's not the grossest gross-out comedy around, and a lot of ground has been covered before. What makes "The Sweetest Thing" so refreshing is that women are not the mindless, big-breasted props to the jokes - they are smack-bang in the action, re-acting and laughing along with the best of them. So what if the men are reduced to snivelling stereo-types? Stereotypes are one of the staples of this genre, and women have suffered more than enough. It's about time the tables were turned.
A lot of people take movies way too seriously. Lighten up, relax, let yourself laugh instead of pretending to be appalled. And when "The P**is Song" comes on, get up and shake your booty. You'll have a blast!

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I couldn't believe how hard I laughed at some of the parts in this movie! True, this movie lacks a deep plot or emotionally moving characters, but I didn't really expect that anyway. My girlfriends and I absolutly loved this movie and we pull it out when we want a good laugh or just some plain ol' girl toilet humor. Men beware! You probably won't appreciate this film, but for all the single (or even single at heart) ladies out there, this just my be one of the funnest movies you'll see in a long time!

Summary: A sweet and funny unromantic raunchfest!!
Review: What is it about "The Sweetest Thing" that makes it so appealing? I think it is the amazing chemistry of Cameron Diaz and Christina Appelgate (who gives a star turning performace). The script is fun, but definitely nothing special (although the Penis Song in the Unrated version is a MUST!!!!), yet Diaz and Appelgate seem to be having so much fun with their characters, it's hard not to enjoy the crazy shenanigans they go through following Diaz's crush to his brother's wedding. With barely enough plot to qualify as a sitcom episode, The Sweetest Thing fills time with random escapades, as when third roommate Jane (Selma Blair) requires a rescue squad (accompanied by a mob of singing neighbors) after a sexual encounter with her boyfriend goes wrong. Such scenes, some of them funny, are so disconnected they make the movie look like a collection of skits, but hey, they're fun!!! And it is the characters (who remind me of my friends) that make the film more enjoyable than it should be. And who can forget the always wonderful Parker Posey as the nervous (and neurotic) bride-to-be. The Sweestest Thing is by no means meaningful filmmaking, but it sure is a hell of a good ride...

Summary: One for the Ladies!
Review: Only a woman can fully appreciate the humor in this one. It's like Romy and Michelle meet Something About Mary. If you're a gal and need a good laugh- I truly recommend this.

Summary: The Sweetest Thing
Review: This movie is histerical! My husband and I love watching this slapstick comedy. It is the true story of girls, and the way the interact with one another and at night clubs. Anyone who can't appreciate this humor is narrow in scope, and has never been in any of the various humorous situations. This was and is a great selection.

Summary: It's a girl thang!!!!
Review: To me, this film was hilarious. It's what women say when men aren't around. It's how we act when men aren't in the room. To me, I think it's not for men's eyes but what can you do?? Cameron and Christina paired together are the funniest people I've seen in a while and the movie makes it all worth while. So Ladies, if you're not going out tonight get invite your girls over and have a girls night. Get some popcorn and a beverage and enjoy the movie because it is funny. OH, remember it's a girl thang!!!

Summary: Horrid Dating Satire!
Review: Christina (Cameron Diaz), Courtney (Christina Applegate), and Jane (Selma Blair) have rules set up for dating that protect them from emotional distress if the one they are dating decides to dump them. However, this time it seems like Jane has broken the rule by reading a book on relationships and now she is suffering from a broken heart. Christina and Courtney decide to take Jane out to party in order heal her broken heart. When Christina tries set Jane up with a stranger at the bar, it falls apart, since Christina seems to fall for the guy herself. The Sweetest Thing is a satire that attempts to make fun of those who play dating games, but it fails when the story vanishes and crude jokes become forced. At the end, the film does not function as a story and seems meaningless.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever
Review: A guy at work recommended this flick and I took a date to see it. Now she refuses to speak to me!Actually, she's still speaking to me but refuses to forgive. This is the worst film I've ever seen. It makes Hudson Hawk look like Casablanca. Unlike Something about Mary, this film has no plot or redeeming qualities. The gags fall flat and feel contrived. Do youself a favor and skip this one. Or recommend it to someone you dislike.

Summary: Only a myth
Review: It was perverted, disgusting, and most of all, brilliant! I have never seen a movie where girls play the role of the player. I want to know where these are so I can meet up with some of them. No emotions just girls out to have a good time. Even though at the end two of them sell out and get into a relationship, its still exposed the side of a girl no one has ever seen, or at least me. [...], I would highly recommend buying this one, especially at the great price. Peace.
