BAD...REALLY BAD...

This is hopefully the only movie I'll ever see that features two hot wet chicks in their underwear performing simulated oral sex on each other that still somehow managed to suck. Other reviewers here have compared this movie to "There's Something About Mary", but it's obviously more of a ripoff of "Sex In The City".Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate are awesome to look at (sorry though, I really don't see what the big deal is on Selma Blair), but the movie is excruciatingly bad. About the only thing that made me laugh out loud was the male lead's grandfather in his one or two token scenes.The scene where Applegate and Diaz try on clothes and dress up like characters from old movies ("Grease", "Flashdance", "Desperately Seeking Susan") was laughable only because of how stupid it was. Save your money. Do NOT even consider renting this one.

A messed up romantic comedy

I was glad I only saw this film on video. If I'd seen it at the cinemas I'd have
demanded a refund. The reason I think this film is a mess, is because it had so
much sexual content. The co called 'Penis Song' in the movie was reallydisgusting. In my opinion movies that have talk about genitals or sexual- intercourse is just so repulsive. In my country this film has an MA rating, which
means the film can't be seen by people under fifteen unless with the company of
a parent or adult guardian. I personally think this film should have had an R
rating. If you find sexual content amusing then this is the film for you, but if you're
like me and find it very offensive then don't watch it!

A raw comedy about girls in the city (but not New York)

Think Sex and the City turbo boosted with scatalogical humor and raw comedy and you have the template for The Sweetest Thing. A party girl in San Francisco named Christina falls for charming Peter one night at a club. They connect and that should have been it. Enter Christina's 2 rommates who help her find Peter again at his wedding to someone else! What follows along the way are alot of "Something About Mary" style jokes and irony in a romantic comedy that pushes the envelope.

Dreadful.

It's porn without the complexity of plot or the delicate shadings of character. The female leads are all wasted in terms of their comic gifts.
This film reminded me of "Saving Silverman" but for girls, and filthier, but just as unfunny and unengaging. Did a woman actually write this appalling script?

Funny movie to watch UNRATED

I really liked this movie, it was so funny I liked the DVD good features. It's nice to watch movies unrated. It is gross I will agree on. Go rent this movie! You'll love it......

Amazing

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen! It was funny, it was crazy and it was completely like my life story (and many other girls I'm sure).

women act like THIS?

If women act like this, than I'm not a woman. This movie was in the poorest of taste, and I typically like things in the poorest of taste. I was appalled and thought for sure that this movie was written by a man as an attempt to play out his lurid and unbelievable fantasies on the screen - girls touchy Christina Applegate's breasts in the bathroom at the club, the song and dance over penis sizes, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that a woman wrote this. Shame on you for giving and supporting the awful reputations women are faced with daily. 1 out of 10 Don't waste your time!

A bad one

I always love Western movies, but this one is an exceptional case.
For the girls, they are ok! Doing just fit their roles. However, the story .... a big problem. It makes me feel the Director rushed to end the story.
Especially the dancing scene in the Chinese resturant. It's really awful when they sang sth " ..."

Not funny i think...

HOLLYWOOD TRASH

PITY THE ABOVE RATING SCALE DOES NOT HAVE ZERO OR NEGATIVE VALUES.

IF A MOVIE COULD BE GIVEN AN AWARD FOR BEING THE WORST FILM OF THE CENTURY OR EVER, THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY WINNER!

Aweful film

It is such an aweful film with sick, low class sex jokes. I think Diaz has gone past her sell by date, so is Applegate, Selma Blair is worth a few looks. The story line is weak and the film is only 75 minutes. Sad to say it was another 75 minutes badly spent.

watch this movie!

I thought this movie was hilarious! It was funny as hell. Plus it's from a woman's perspective which was a nice change from the usual. Most movies you see aren't really like that. You kind of have to have an open mind about it though. Some people might be offended by it or think it's kind of dumb but if you watch it just remember to have a sense of humor! I think the reason some people don't like it is because they are just too uptight about it and it makes them uncomfortable. And I think so far all the people I've seen who's had a problem with it were all guys. Get over it! There has been a lot of people who disagree with this movie but what about movies like "American Pie". Is that movie not just as bad? I think this movie was so much more clever than that. I like this movie a lot.

the best movie ever!!!!

what the hell is with all you people bad mouthing The Sweetest Thing!!! its the best movie ever and the actors and actresses are hell good too! i was reading one comment that said that any movie with Christina Applegate is a bad one, well i disagree, she is a fabulous actress and i bet she does a better job than anything you could do!! yea mabye this isnt your type of movie, thats cool with me, but at least u guys shouldnt come on here and say all this crap about it!! anyway i just wanted 2 say that its a hell good movie and to that person who gave it an f i give it an a.

Sweetest Thing should have been called "Sweetest Thang!"

I Like Cameron Diaz and went to see the movie "Sweetest Thing". Overall, it is no "There's Soemthing About Mary" or "Charlie's Angels" but I was still hanging in there no matter what. Diaz is "Christina" who is a SF Ad Exec and is also a love em and dump em gal. If the relationship gets waay to serious its her motto to dump them and move on not thinking of the emotional and psychological damage she is doing to these poor guys she is leaving behind. Enter Christina Applegate is "Courtney" her best bud and partner in crime. The movie starts off with "Diaz" shaking her hips like she was J-Lo. But then again any women would not be doing that while walking up a steep street in San Francisco. Selma Blair is "Jane" Diaz's roomie. Blair is dumped by her BF and Diaz/Applegate set out for the town to cheer Blair up at their favorite club hangout. Enter Thomas Jane who gets immediately groped by Diaz. Diaz and Jane don't hit it off at first but they manage to break the awkwardness between them. Jane leaves and mentions a wedding which Diaz and Applegate make a road trip to attend. My favortie scene is the car scene where Applegate is teasing the biker guy. I wont go into too much detail here but I was laughing myself out of my seat. If Sweetest Thing did'nt try to be funny the movie in my opinion would have been enjoyable I say.

Horrible Horrible Movie

Was incredibly disappointed. Looks like Cameron Diaz will do anything, no matter how stupid, in an attempt to recreate the runaway, quirky successful of Something About Mary. If you like stupid movies in bad taste with little to no plot, bad dialogue and no need for any acting whatsoever, then this is the movie for you.

Girl Raunch comedy-- A new genre?

This could be a new genre-- Girl Raunch Comedy. It has it's funny moments and it is apparent that the three stars-- Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair-- have a great time doing this movie, it was not quite what I expected. This was one of those days I went to see a film with my 21 year old daughter, home from college for the weekend.

I'm not sure if was Cameron Diaz's "going down" dream scene, or Selma Blair's Pierced Penis caught on her tonsils scene when I realized the big oops-- this was not the cute girls movie to take my adult daughter to.

My biggest surprise and pleasure was seeing Christina Applegate. She was great-- still with the high energy and sexual edge, but more grown up, carrying adult dialogue brilliantly. I'm looking forward to see her in a wider range of roles. She reminded me a bit of Kate Jackson of Charlie's Angels.

There were plenty of laughs. The montage scene bored the [heck] out of me. They could have shot it and included it as an option in the DVD. I did recommend this to some friends who just love raunch. This couple can't hold a conversation without adding sexual innuendo or blatant sexual content every thirty seconds.

Another couple we know told us they walked out less than halfway through the flick. It's that raunchy and tasteless. But it was funny. If you like the Farrelly brothers or the kind of humor you see with Adam Sandler, you'll probably enjoy this.

I enjoyed the credits much more than the actual movie.

(Maybe a few minor spoilers - not plot spoilers, but things that happen in the movie.)This was SUCH a waste of talent! Although their characters were annoying, Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate were great. Plus, the chemistry was really good among Christina Applegate, Selma Blair, and Cameron Diaz was fantastic. Parker Posey was good, but it's a stretch to say that because she was probably in the movie for little more than two minutes. All in all, the acting was very good. (I want to emphasize Applegate's performance; top notch.)The problem was it wasn't funny. It was gross-out humor that failed to be funny. Where gross-out humor worked to the advantage of such movies as There's Something About Mary, and in parts of American Pie, Selma Blair chocking on a penis-piercing, or Cameron Diaz getting poked in the eye with the...um...eye of a stranger's penis, was NOT FUNNY.It was boring and not really entertaining at all.My Grade: C-(The funny thing about the credits was that Cameron Diaz over-dramatized an obviously melodramatic line. Screaming and shouting and sobbing and whatnot. Sort of a blooper thing. Funny stuff.)

Great movie with unique female characters

How is this not hilarious? There are always movies that seem to make it big, like Wedding Crashers, Meet the Parents, and American Pie 1,2, and 3, Van Wilder, when the main characters are stereotypical male characters, but when it is women, expectations change and so do the double standards, which is disappointing in this day in age. The women in this movie are way funnier and do more interesting activities and funnies than the same old good old boys routine stuff. Some very unpredictable predicaments make this laugh out loud! I bought this movie in 2003 and have watched it with all my circles of friends and everyone from 19 to 64 have laughed out loud during this movie, which other movies are lucky if it barely happens once.I love the unrated version, the song and dance, and her sexy dream with Peter and when he "had all the calories taken out for you."

Ban the banal!

This is the most banal movie I've ever seen. Bad jokes, banal jokes, don't-laugh-jokes. It most have been for the money, but this movie has made the world a little worse. Bah!

baaaaaad

A friend told me "You have to watch this movie, it's so so funny, you're going to love it". Since he always suggested very good movies i rented it straight away. Well... going through this movie was PAINFUL!!! I could tell after the first 10 minutes that it was not worth watching it. The plot is so stupid that it makes "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" look like a Shakespeare's work. The characters are as irritating as a mosquito bite on your butt. I'll erase so many scenes of this movie that in the end you wouldn't even have a video-clip. The first scene in the club is super-annoying, the one in the Chinese restaurant is gross, and so are basically all the scenes with Selma Blair. Everything's terrible!!! The locations, the dialogues, the characters, the actors, the soundtrack! This movie has the worst soundtrack I've ever heard. I cannot believe that a girl would like this movie. And after this movie, Cameron Diaz should be out of work.

Please, make it go away.

Weeks later, I am still cringing at having wasted my money on seeing this sorry excuse for a movie. I agree with all of the negative comments here. This is a movie based around crude unfunny prepubescent boys locker room humour. One of the actresses said in an interview that this is how girl friends talk with eachother. Errrr... no. My friends and I might act like these girls if we were desperate bimboey airheads like the characters are. And what the hell is up with the Movie Montage scene? Could they honestly not think of anything better to do for a few minutes? Believe me, in the couple of hours it takes to watch this film, you could be doing something far more productive instead. Like cleaning out the funk between your toes. Cameron Diaz is a very good actress and I can not believe she chose to be in this pitiful, pitiful attempt.
