Editorial Review:

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

• Naughty but nice
  I saw this film once, it was quite amusing and reasonably well written, and cameron shines up nicely.However, I have no great desire to see it again, which I suppose is damning it with faint praise- however, it is a good girls night in film, so I'm a bit biased I guess.

• Absolutely hilarious
  Do not be put off by the terrible reviews here, this film is really very funny. It does not set out to be amazingly witty and groundbreaking and you should take it for what it is: slapstick girly comedy. It is one of my favourite films as it is just a great feel-good comedy complete with some absolutely hilarious scenes. Similar to the humour seen in There's something about Mary, this film is great to watch if you're feeling a bit down as it never fails in making me laugh!

• Possibly the worst film ever made!
  Considering the acresses in this film I expected to be a really great funny girlie film but was completely disapointed! the film is unrealistic, boring and completely stupid, the three girls cant seem to act which is strange because I know they can, the charactors do not make any sense nor does the storyline and it involves them dancing around like idiots and singing about mens private parts for no reason in a public place whioch would never happen! the parts that i imagine were supposed to be "funny" just... more info
