Reviews for The Sweetest Thing
Just when you think it's going to be a sappy chick flick, The Sweetest Thing surprises with a lewd joke or half-naked girl.

Cameron Diaz "comedy" follows the Farrelly brothers' path with degrading, unfunny "jokes" that make you feel unclean just watching them.

Fundamentally ugly in its supposition of normalcy in its uncreative, sex-starved protagonists.

...'forgettable' is one of the best things one could call this film.

Una especie de There's Something about Mary pero que no termina de cuajarse en algo concreto y termina siendo una... una... una ¡no sé qué es lo que termina siendo!

Female characters should be allowed to engage in raunchy humor on the big screen; they already do on the small one with Sex and the City. But unlike that HBO series, The Sweetest Thing has no guts.
07/20/02
...this one can't be recommended as a way to spend an hour and a half...you won't get it back.
06/28/02
All right, so it's not a brilliant piece of filmmaking, but it is a funny (sometimes hilarious) comedy with a deft sense of humor about itself, a playful spirit and a game cast.
06/05/02
There's a frantic, anything-goes quality to "Sweetest" that's appealing at first, until it becomes apparent the movie has little more to offer than the friskiness of its stars...

The Sweetest Thing could have been a major summer underdog hit. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not a very good movie.
05/31/02
What's most wonderful is that all the heartless, cruel cads are played by women, and the seemingly sensitive, prey being stalked are played by guys.
05/20/02
Thoroughly noxious offspring of 'There's Something About Mary' and 'Sex & the City'.
04/28/02
This picture is one of the flattest, stupidest, unfunniest sex comedies -- as well as one of the worst all-round pictures -- I've ever seen.
04/26/02
A sour attempt at making a Farrelly Brothers-style, down-and-dirty laugher for the female set.
