The Sweetest Thing Audience Reviews

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
nfuente This one is really fun to watch. I like the light-hearted and stupidly funny tone of the movie and that is what makes a comedy appealing for me.This sort of comedy doesn't have to make sense to be a good watch for the audience and it is possible that some folks find it "not good" because of that.I am watching this sort of movies to switch off and have a laugh; because I know I am not watching a documentary or a movie aspiring for the Academy Awards.All in all an enjoyable ride for me!
begob Good comedy. It went full romantic in the end, but lots of laughs before that.Can't understand why people are down on this. It goes for love at first sight and sets as many obstacles as possible, with a good twist at the wedding.The three actresses create a good set of characters, and it's interesting to see the different personalities. Diaz carries it (although she can't dance), Applegate is razor sharp, and Blair is the beauty needing more screen time.The San Fran gay side goes over the top with the medical emergency blowjob, but anyone complaining about the vulgarity needs brain surgery. Through the eye. With a ... And the glory hole scene should have been trashier.
Maynard Handley I confess to a weakness for what some might call stupid comedies --- American Pie, Dumb and Dumber, There's Something about Mary. However I found this movie mostly disappointing and don't agree with the comments that it's a female version of those classics. I think it fails because it tries too hard and makes the trying very obvious. All the way through, the characters (especially the Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate characters, Selma Blair not so much) are constantly trying to appear and act "wacky". It's irritating as hell, and leads you to despise the characters rather than feel empathy for them. I assume this is not the actresses faults --- Ms Diaz obviously did her job well in There's Something about Mary, while Ms Applegate handled years on Married with Children --- so I'm guessing either the director or the writer didn't have much confidence in the material and felt it necessary to add a layer of (non-amusing) idiocy. To me it felt like one of the bad Adam Sandler comedies or the bad Rob Schneider comedies or the bad (ie all of them!) Pauly Shore comedies, which also devolve into "irritating characters acting wacky" because there's not enough decent comedic material there to sustain the movie. If you want a girl's comedy done right, I'd recommend you stick with Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, rather than persisting with this through some sort of misplaced female solidarity. The three or so genuinely funny scenes don't justify the rest of the movie. It wasn't AWFUL, as a comedy, but it just wasn't as great as people are claiming.
jessegehrig 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!
