La cosa más dulce

Blatant attempt to recreate "There's Something About Mary," as Diaz is plopped into another movie that mixes tasteless humor with corny romance. While it's not as good as TSAM, it's quite funny and reasonably sweet. The main problem with the film is one of momentum. It will be skating along on an amusing riff or a sweet moment and then stumble and find itself splayed out on the sidewalk, looking confused. One doesn't feel deeply about the movie's rather sketchily drawn characters, weakening the dramatic moments, and the comedy, while more hit than miss, does miss more than one would like. But while all of these keeps it from being a great movie, it's really quite an enjoyable one.
