Extremely lowbrow -- definitely not for kids.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2010

The filmmakers have obviously studied There's Something About Mary, and learned nothing.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

The overriding effect of watching these actresses debase themselves is the cinematic equivalent of a motorway car wreck.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2002

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 20, 2002

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.

The entire film is one big excuse to play one lewd scene after another. About half of them are funny, a few are sexy and none are useful in telling the story, which is paper-thin and decidedly unoriginal.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 21, 2002

Seems to have been assembled (at short notice, with blindfolds on) by people who have never seen any movies outside of Cameron Diaz vehicles.

Full Review | Apr 16, 2002

The Sweetest Thing has nothing insightful to say about relationships, and nothing funny to say about the singles scene.

Full Review | Apr 15, 2002

Bound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2002

Clever packaging of boy fantasy and girl fantasy.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2002

Essentially a collection of bits -- and they're all naughty.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2002

Not so much a movie as an amiable collection of off-color vignettes. None of them soar, but some are well worth a giggle.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

A bunch of intermittently amusing sketches that collectively don't add up to much of a picture.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 12, 2002

At 87 minutes, The Sweetest Thing feels pumped up with air, with an extended end-credits sequence designed to stretch the movie to a respectable feature length.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 12, 2002

The ads for The Sweetest Thing promise that if you loved There's Something About Mary and My Best Friend's Wedding, then you can't miss this latest Cameron Diaz vehicle. Well, miss it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

An awkward hybrid of genres that just doesn't work.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

It's a shallow movie, to be sure, but it has this much in its favor: It's a shallow movie that wholeheartedly, even joyfully embraces the point of view of the three, um, babe-a-licious women at its center.

Lacks original humor.
