The Sweetest Thing (2002)

That was an excellent one.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Well, judging from the comments/reviews, i guess i'm one of the few people who loves this movie ! i think it's fun to watch, and the chemistry between the actresses is amazing especially Cameron and Christina,it's not meant to be deep or meaningful or teach you something, personally all the sexual references were fun to me and it's not your usual romantic-comedy movie which is refreshing !The chemistry between the cast is very attracting, and the small details and the cozy atmosphere of their house along with their hangouts is really nice to watch, it feels like the characters really known each other from the 2nd grade.if you're not into sexual comedy it's not the movie for you, if you enjoy a fun mindless humor then you're gonna enjoy watching it !7.5/10 from me

There's nothing sweet about this thing. This movie is derogatory to women. Cameron Diaz is part of a hapless trio of single women who're looking for Mr. Right Now, rather than Mr. Right. They're a bad influence on their viewers. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate float their way through a loose. mediocre storyline; a trip to see Diaz's (potential) love of her life, and once and for all grow up. Silly, cumbersome acts are played out, including Diaz getting someone's junk in the eye, Blair ending up with a (particular) piercing stuck between her teeth and the three of them pretending to orgasm in a restaurant, which then turns in to a cabaret act. None of this drives the storyline, but instead furthers their incomprehensible attitude towards life in their 30's. Ridiculous.

"The Sweetest Thing" is an ofttimes lewd, crude, socially unacceptable, mindless romp featuring a bunch of characters whose lives are ruled by raging hormones. But with a very cool twist: they're women.Since the dawn of time (or at least the 80s), we've been barraged with crass sex comedies, almost all of which are aimed at 16-24 year old males. "Porky's", "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", "Bachelor Party", "American Pie" ...and those are just the classics. Here we have a film that is every bit as vapid and morally bankrupt, but with the deliciously novel approach of being from the late-20s female perspective.Ladies, this is your chance to get even. Gents, this is your chance to see what really goes on during "girl's night out" ...or at least what goes on according to a slightly demented mind (that of writer Nancy Pimental who wrote 63 episodes of South Park if that's any indication). Let me put it this way: I'm a guy who thought he had a moderately wild & crazy youth, but this made me feel like I've been living in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Kazowie! I found myself constantly thinking, "Did I just see that??"Although there's no explicit nudity, be prepared to see every possible suggestion of explicit sex in very funny ways. And I don't care what anyone says, the "stain on the dress" scene is a classic, as is the ...um, well, the scene where someone gets poked in the eyeball (and it ain't with a finger neither). These scenes, and others, are just so over-the-top ridiculous, it's as if "Sex and the City" got drunk and hooked up with "Airplane!" and this is their illegitimate offspring. Really, this movie doesn't just push the envelope, it bumps & grinds that envelope and fills it with bodily fluids.The story, believe it or not, is pretty interesting as a romcom and packs some good plot elements and a good twist or two. Cameron Diaz plays a "party girl" who starts thinking about settling down. Or is she just chasing after what every party girl wants: the impossible? Christina Applegate plays her "wing man" while Selma Blair plays the "quiet one" completing a brilliant comedic trio.I have to admit, after the initial shock wore off, I really enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of something I once read on Urban Dictionary: "the definition of a slut - a woman with the morals of a man!" Touché.

I can sort of understand why this movie has such a low rating. There's not just one but several downright cringeworthy scenes, consider yourself warned. IF you can see past that, though, this is a wonderfully entertaining and funny movie that actually accomplish what few movies do: It makes me laugh so hard my stomach aches in recognition of these silly, immature, stupid ideas and situations that takes place between girlfriends. I know, I know, there will be women out there now saying "I NEVER act this way" and that's all good, but I do, and I thoroughly appreciate a movie that shows this side of (some) women, because I can totally relate. There are scenes in this movie that makes me laugh so hard I roll down from the couch. My boyfriend even commented that he understands the giggle scenes between me and my girlfriends a little better now. We are just being silly, stupid and immature. Sorry, but we are. It's not the end of the world.So yeah, not a masterpiece, the movie stalls in some places and the music scenes are kind of out of place, but I still like it and wouldn't mind watching it again.
