Product Description

Product Description

San Francisco flatmates Christina (Cameron Diaz), Courtney (Christina Applegate) and Jane (Selma Blair) go out for a night's clubbing to help the latter forget about her recent break-up with her long-term boyfriend. That night, commitment-shy Christina meets Peter (Thomas Jane), who she thinks she might like, yet when she tries to track him down the next day, she finds that he is in the process of getting married. For his part, Peter sees her fleeing the ceremony and begins to wonder if he's doing the right thing after all.

From Amazon.co.uk

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

In this 2002 RomCom Christina Walters (Cameron Diaz) is a free spirited player and a user of men in the swinging singles market. When Christina and Courtney (Christina Applegate) return home they find their friend Jane (Selma Blair) has broken up with her boyfriend and take her out to a dance club where Christina meets Peter Donahue (Thomas Jane) and it’s obvious the two like one another, but can either of them change their ways to give love a chance?
This is a fun, stupid and ridiculous movie that proves to be highly entertaining. The comedy is mainly sitcom, the ladies room and the dry cleaners are two great examples. The remainder is mainly the intimate banter that only close friends can pull off. There are also some hilarious great twists to many song ‘standards’.
The single disc goes to main menu offering special features [commentary, day in the life, politically erect], trailers, scene selection, audio set up [English or French], play and subtitles [English, French Arabic dutch, hindi].
Don’t go into this with a serious outlook, treat it as frivolous goofy fun and you’ll have a good time but it can appear crude at times and the irreverent language is sexually frank with a lot of implied sex, but no nudity, but I wouldn’t recommend seeing this with grandma.

I love this film, it's a film for the night when the girls come round and the wine is opended, it's funny because there is an element of truth to it.Yes this can be crude at times but I think the reason it gets such bad reviews is that peolpe don't want to accept that this is how young sexually confident independent women talk or maybe even behave. Either way this is a must for every girlie get together!

This is a dreadful movie, with a poor script, crass acting and direction, and jokes only worth cringing at. There ARE the sorts of gross laughs that are a common feature of teen and college movies, but these are adults are in their late 20's/early 30's; it just isn't the same. The film seems to have been designed as a kind of tribute to the ladette culture and/or as a vehicle for Cameron Diaz, whose slim body is flaunted throughout the movie...a kind of Sex in the City rip-off, without the good taste of that series/movie. The studio obviously had a new generation of female singles in mind when they created this, who perhaps aren't interested in anything beyond sex, clubbing and...well, that's it, actually.

On the recommendation of two boys in the office I ordered this. What a total and utter waste of time and money (and by that I mean everyone's, not just mine...)
Thin crappy plot. Thin crappy acting. Vulgar, puerile dialogue. How in the name of God did Cameron ever agree to star in this career-busting nonsense...give this rubbish a very wide berth...

I saw this when it first came out and liked it, but on second viewing, I'm not really that impressed.

This sort of story is usually focused on the guys and its a nice twist to have the main characters as ladies behaving badly. The highlights are the "You're too big etc" song number, the road trip that Cameron and Christina go on and Peter's trip to the driving range.

I thought the male lead was a weak choice and the script does fizzle out as the story nears its conclusion. Add to that that the standard stereo type that everyone is just looking for real love turns out to be the goal, and everything becomes pretty familiar.

Worth a look, but not one of the great "battle of the sexes" comedies.

Some may describe this as another "chick flick", but I think its on a different level. By the time I finnish writing this review, this movie stands a good chance of overtaking "Pretty Woman" as my all time favourite. 'Why?' you may ask. I'll tell you why. This movie is EVERYTHING that Pretty Woman is, with humour to boot!
Ok, so as some of the reviewers have said, it may be deemed as a little crude, but theres SO MUCH truth in it, its unbelievable. Where as its normally the blokes who are shown as the crude, self-centred ones, this movie flips the script.
Cameron, Christina & Selma play 3 out-of luck girls; out of luck in the love department. Its not that the first 2 dont get LAID, just they cant seem to find 'Mr. Right'. Selma (Jane) seems to have found him, and is usually 'busy' with her man; even at work. One of the funny parts is when she's in the dry cleaners and EVERYONE who comes in, seems to know her. Even her old school teacher comes in with a class on a visit (dont know bout anyone ELSE but I never visited a laundry as a school outing; was usually a museum!)
The "Old guy", lets call him 'Gradpa', who pops up in a few places throughout the movie, helps us to understand that, just because you marry someone & have kids with them, you dont have to devote your ENTIRE life to them, especially after they've gone. People ALWAYS say to 'Grandpa', "I bet you miss Grandma" and the look on his face, and the way that he mumbles, just tells you how quite P*55ED off with it all he is.
The clever part of the film is when Cameron & Christina are in "Veras'" shop trying to find something to wear for the wedding they're about to 'crash'.
