The Sweetest Thing is a good enough time waster of a comedy film. I am honestly surprised to see it rated so low at just 5.0 out of 10 here on IMDb.Obviously I don't think it's an amazingly great film that deserves full marks of 10, but it is a funny enough comedy and I think something in the order of 6.5-7.0 is more accurate. Cameron Diaz is her typical self here. Cute and funny and the audience will like her. She's actually probably as good in this as she was in There's Something About Mary.A lot of the jokes hit but even though there is no nudity in the movie that I can remember, the humour is very adult oriented with tons of implied or simulated sex acts as well as dirty jokes galore, so keep your young ones out of the room when you watch it :-)

A slapstick comedy for those who prefer their slapstick in poor taste. Admittedly, the funniest sequence is that with Charlie Dell as the delightfully fazed Christian priest who attempts to tie the knot in the wedding scene. But come on, boys, play fair! What's the name of the Hollywood movie in which a likably cute but totally ineffectual Jewish rabbi is set up and satirized? Maybe I'm wrong, but off hand, I can't think of any such scenes in any Hollywood movies at all, although there are such interludes in German and Russian movies of the 1930s and early 1940s. However, getting back to The Sweetest Thing, the movie tends to focus all its attention on the ladies. Like the minister, the men are all ineffectual and make little impression. In fact, the movie is virtually an extension of locked-in-the-toilet gags that mostly vary from sickening to indigestible. The Columbia DVD describes the movie as a totally fresh twist. What rubbish! Toilet gags have been with us since at least 5,000 B.C.

Whom am I more embarrassed for ? Who shall take the blame ? When they made this movie did they know that they were going to end up making THIS ? There's a type of beetle that eats rotting flesh, and when all that's left to eat is gone the beetles crawl away. Every bad joke and bad line in this movie is followed by a bustling swarm of beetles departing from some used up corpse, it is the darkness within the earth. Why cant the Terminator go back in time to stop this movie from being born ? I'm thinking, f*ck that John Connor kid, tell Skynet to stop The Sweetest Thing. I like the fake feminism of the movie, it's like its either written by a dude or the world's saddest woman, you go girl!

maybe its because I'm still young (19), or because i just don't always feel like watching a "deep dramatic" movie. (which i do love to watch as well) The Sweetest Thing honestly has to be one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.I don't understand all the bad reviews, but from my perspective, if your just hanging out with some friends and watch a good movie to watch that will make you laugh, highly recommend this one. IF YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN DO NOT WATCH THIS WITH THEM! THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR KIDSsee it see it see it!!!!!!!
