The Sweetest Thing (Unrated Edition)

Amazon.com

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

Couldn't get the licensing for the movie and Amazon never contacted me back so I wouldn't recommend downloading it unless you want to look at an empty screen.....

Poked in the eye!.......2007-08-26

Like 40 Days & 40 Nights and There's Something About Mary (Widescreen Edition), this film belongs in the genre of the "Raunchy Romantic Comedy." After starting the film, it does not take too long to find out why! Unlike a lot of RC films, this one starts out with a squabble that leads to Romance. The "un-catchable" babe (played by Cameron Diaz) finally gets snared by a real charmer!

Selma Blair gets her typical role as the naive young lady who always seems to get caught in the most compromising and precarious positions. Cameron is as funny as always. However, in my mind, it is Christina Applegate who really stole the show in this one. I'd barely seen her since her Married with Children - The Complete First Seasonstint. I didn't recognize her at first as her haircolor changed. In any case, she REALLY plays up her role as the supportive friend, and her energy really drives the film. I'd very much like to see more of her in the near future; hope she doesn't disappear.

If you are looking for a mindless, raunchy comedy with a little twist of romance sprinkled in, then this film is for you! There is a scene in particular in which our girls are driving down the road and encounter a biker that is sure to become an insta-classic. I've not laughed so hard in quite some time!! While some of the film is a little bit contrived, it's still very funny and well worth takng a look.

Horrible, Raunchy, Stupid.......2007-07-14

This movie tries to steal from many other movies but fails at being funny. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate are so slutty and stupid that their attractiveness turns to ugliness. Save your time and pick something else to watch.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE, SO FUNNY AND I CAN WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AND NEVER GET SICK OF IT!

Some giggles but mostly gags..........2007-07-03

I rented this movie when it first came out in 2002. I didn't like it. I just thought it was gross and quite frankly, a bit boring. My two best friends however think its the funniest movie, so they convinced me to watch it again because they thought I'd enjoy it now that I'm older. I did laugh a few times, but again, I just didn't care for it. Christina Applegate is really the only one who made me laugh. She's great. I'm not a Cameron Diaz fan at all. She just annoys me. And its not that I'm a prude either. I like American Pie and The Girl Next Door, ect., but I just can't get into this one. I think you either love it or hate it, and I hated it.

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN..........2005-01-23

When my twenty year old daughter came home from college, she went to the video store and came home with this film, a comedy with a fairly good cast. Neither I nor my daughter knew nothing much about this movie. Well, were we in for a big surprise! The humor throughout was truly raunchy, ribald, and raw. It was also, at times, quite funny. If you are a fan of the Farrelly Brothers movies or enjoy crude comedies, then you may enjoy this. Instead of the guys being gross, however, it's the gals.

This movie revolves around three gal pals, Christina (Cameron Diaz), Courtney (Christine Applegate), and Jane (Selma Blair) and their close encounters with the male kind. The guys, however, definitely take a back seat to these three twenty something misses. I confess, it was a bit startling, though funny, to see these gals break into a song fit for a drunken stag party. Some of the scenes were done tongue and cheek. Check out the Dick and Jane scene. You will know the scene I mean, when you see it.

This film is not for those with delicate sensibilities, as erect male sex organs, anal sex, oral copulation, and other usually taboo subjects are ripe for gags, many of which, while filthy, are often funny. If you do not like your jokes down and dirty, then this is not the film for you. If you are broader minded, then you may enjoy Nancy Pimental's screenplay and the silly cavorting of the delightful Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair, once you get over your initial shock.
