Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Prudes, beware! Despite its tendency to take the comedic low road, The Sweetest Thing is a near-perfect product of the new-millennial Hollywood. That's a backhanded compliment, but as a fun-loving Yankee girl's answer to Bridget Jones's Diary, the mainstream pandering of Nancy Pimental's lucrative screenplay is undeniably effective. On the opening soundtrack, Macy Gray's "Sexual Revolution" is a perfect accompaniment to gyrating guy-dumper Christina (Cameron Diaz), whose fear of commitment is tested when she meets Peter (Thomas Jane) and knows he's Mr. Right. With supportive gal-pals Courtney (Christina Applegate) and Jane (Selma Blair), she plots to snag the guy, and the movie's road-trip detour mines gut-busting gold from gags involving incriminating dress stains, oral sex, rotting food, garish clothing, and the simple joys of old-fashioned romance. Perfectly cast, raucously ribald, and conventionally charming, The Sweetest Thing is a schizophrenic comedy, but its dual personalities are irresistibly in synch. --Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN..., April 6, 2003
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)      
When my twenty year old daughter came home from college, she went to the video store and came home with this film, a comedy with a fairly good cast. Neither I nor my daughter knew much about this movie. Well, were we in for a big surprise! The humor throughout was truly raunchy, ribald, and raw. It was also, at times, quite funny. If you are a fan of the Farrelly Brothers movies or enjoy crude comedies, then you may enjoy this. Instead of the guys being gross, however, it's the gals.

This movie revolves around three gal pals, Christina (Cameron Diaz), Courtney (Christine Applegate), and Jane (Selma Blair) and their close encounters with the male kind. The guys, however, definitely take a back seat to these three twenty something misses. I confess, it was a bit startling, though funny, to see these gals break into a song fit for a drunken stag party. Some of the scenes were done tongue and cheek. Check out the Dick and Jane scene. You will know the scene I mean, when you see it.

This film is not for those with delicate sensibilities, as erect male sex organs, anal sex, oral copulation, and other usually taboo subjects are ripe for gags, many of which, while filthy, are often funny. If you do not like your jokes down and dirty, then this is not the film for you. If you are broader minded, then you may enjoy Nancy Pimental's screenplay and the silly cavorting of the delightful Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair, once you get over your initial shock.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chick flick turned guy flick, April 9, 2002
Cameron Diaz plays Christina, a woman who's in denial of fearing commitment. Her room-mates Courtney and Jane, played by Christina Applegate and Selma Blair, are also in the same predicament.

They go to a dance club and Christina grabs into Peter, played by Thomas Jane. Sensing chemistry without getting the whole story, Christina and Courtney take a road trip to find him.

The commercial for this movie makes it look like a chick flick; but, in reality, it's more of a female skin fest, featuring Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in very skimpy outfits.

I couldn't quite figure out why this movie is rated R. Scary Movie (the first one) had grosser humor in it than this and it was rated PG-13.

The storyline gets a bit erratic at times. The film editor seems to be a bit asleep at the wheel. It does have it's funny moments, including a... uhhh, tonsil piercing of sorts. ;)

Pre-movie warnings: VERY brief nudity (male butt cheeks), profanity, a truckload of innuendo, ladies' room groping, some off-key singing on Cameron's part, and the re-immergence of the acting career of Jason Bateman (don't ask me why).

A semi-decent matinee date movie; but, I wouldn't shell out the night time bucks on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars It just doesn't get worse than this., September 6, 2002
By Spencer (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
It really is a pity that there is no 0 star option. This movie is one of the most ill-conceived ventures to have graced (or disgraced) the screen. It's like one of those bad comedy routines where the comedian just won't get off the stage, but worse, because you can't throw eggs at your television. It's not just the script. It's not just the timing. It's not just the acting. It is an entirety that is worse than the sum of its parts, and, while I realize that I have presented little analysis in my criticism, I simply had to write a review. I could not stand by and let humanity suffer any more than necessary at the hands of one of the most worthless pieces of cinema ever known. I will grant it this, however. I am a reformed person after seeing it, because I am now convinced that I have glimpsed my own personal Hell, and it would be watching this movie over and over.
