Amazon.co.uk Review

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


Synopsis

Three single women, Christina, Courtney and Jane, regularly have a good time in the city's nightclub. Then one night Christina meets her perfect partner but discovers too late that he's left town. Now she and Courtney are off on the road to find him...

4.0 out of 5 stars A surprisingly good film!, 4 Oct 2006
Although this film did get slated by critics don't let this put you off. I rented this film before I bought it and was expecting it to be nothing special. But it was hilarious. The plot revolves around the character "Christina" (played by cameron diaz) chasing a guy that she met in a club one nite across the country. Then she finds out he's getting married and I won't tell you nay more than it's your typical happy ending. However, besides the weak plotline the gags and situations the three friends are put into are incredibly funny. It may not be worth buying if your not sure, but definately a great film to rent for a girls nite in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely hilarious, 18 Aug 2008
By S. Brown (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Do not be put off by the terrible reviews here, this film is really very funny. It does not set out to be amazingly witty and groundbreaking and you should take it for what it is: slapstick girly comedy. It is one of my favourite films as it is just a great feel-good comedy complete with some absolutely hilarious scenes. Similar to the humour seen in There's something about Mary, this film is great to watch if you're feeling a bit down as it never fails in making me laugh!

2.0 out of 5 stars Cameron Diaz goes lowpoint, 23 May 2007
By Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Unfortunately this movie does NOT set a new low for trash from Hollywood--although it does try very hard. However, combined with its lack of plot, an almost complete lack of any good humor whatsoever, this movie is one I wouldn't watch again to save my soul.

Three women engage in incredibly boorish and self-indulgent behavior. The song about too-large members was quite gratuitous. The "glory hole" scene was entirely execrable, incredibly unnecessary, completely unrelated to the plot and without redeeming value whatsoever. Its only reason for inclusion seems to be to add to the putrid pile of impurity of which this movie is an absolute wellspring.

Only the fact that this movie flopped at the box office gives me any hope whatsoever for the taste of the movie-going public.
