Bonjour l'amour

While not meant to be taken at all seriously, The Sweetest Thing is a great movie to watch with the gals when you're looking for something light and funny. It's almost like the female There's Something About Mary; it has a lot of bathroom humor, which I usually am not really amused by, but this works, and it's basically just about three best friends just being happy, which is a nice message for a change. I couldn't believe the things in it, though, since I thought the movie was PG-13 the first time I watched it. O_o The best touch is that it's slightly absurd, like Wet Hot American Summer, which brings in more attention and unparalleled amusement. Highly recommended for girls--they'd enjoy it a lot more than guys...it's the Rated R Chick Flick.

7/10--rather silly, but cute and feel good all the same ^_^

It's nowhere near as good as Cruel Intentions, but there's something about it that makes it one of those movies you watch just to blow off some steam. It's a cross between American Pie and Sex and The City, with a cast you used to see a lot in movies and TV shows of that time. And beyond. It's fluff entertainment at its most primal, with jokes that are so outrageous, it is bound to make you smile. The « penis song » still feel as awkward and unrealistic as it did twenty years ago, but it's just another example of the movie never taking itself seriously, or pretending to be anything but fun all over. To those who are in the right frame of mind for it. It's a good romantic comedy as well, with unexpected twists and a believable romance. The soundtrack is very good too, and should've been released then. At the end of the day, it's a fine little movie, that grows on you, the more you watch it.

This movie is very funny.I laughed out loud a lot.A lot of people here criticize it as if it was supposed to be some serious movie.Its a silly and sexy comedy with a lot of adult language.If you are offended by sex jokes its not the movie for you.I think Diaz and Applegate were great in it and its soooo refreshing to see actresses not being afraid to make fools of themselves on screen.

You will always find either women are portrayed as hopelessly romantic or completely sex driven, the difference with "The Sweetest Thing" is that they want to have fun and explore their feminity without going overboard. Cameron Diaz is a classic as Christina Walters, proving again that she's a good actress. It was good to see Christina Applegate again, this time playing a more diverse role as Courtney Rockcliffe. The chemistry the two actresses shared as best friends was great to see, Selma Blair's Jane Burns was funny but not as interesting as the other two.

The movie is fun and a good laugh

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.
