The Worst Film Ever

A Major Disappointment

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Vulgar, irritating, and absurd in a bad way. I was watching this as daylight savings time began and I feel like I lost an entire day of my life rather than just an hour plus the run-time of this garbage movie. I wish I didn't decide to watch this film because as soon as I started I regretted it, but I like to finish what I start so really I only have myself to blame. Imagine paying to go see this though. What an absolute assault on everything decent and beautiful the medium of film has come up with before this monstrosity.

The Sweetest Thing is a good enough time waster of a comedy film. I am honestly surprised to see it rated so low at just 5.0 out of 10 here on IMDb.Obviously I don't think it's an amazingly great film that deserves full marks of 10, but it is a funny enough comedy and I think something in the order of 6.5-7.0 is more accurate. Cameron Diaz is her typical self here. Cute and funny and the audience will like her. She's actually probably as good in this as she was in There's Something About Mary.A lot of the jokes hit but even though there is no nudity in the movie that I can remember, the humour is very adult oriented with tons of implied or simulated sex acts as well as dirty jokes galore, so keep your young ones out of the room when you watch it :-)

"The Sweetest Thing" is an ofttimes lewd, crude, socially unacceptable, mindless romp featuring a bunch of characters whose lives are ruled by raging hormones. But with a very cool twist: they're women.Since the dawn of time (or at least the 80s), we've been barraged with crass sex comedies, almost all of which are aimed at 16-24 year old males. "Porky's", "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", "Bachelor Party", "American Pie" ...and those are just the classics. Here we have a film that is every bit as vapid and morally bankrupt, but with the deliciously novel approach of being from the late-20s female perspective.Ladies, this is your chance to get even. Gents, this is your chance to see what really goes on during "girl's night out" ...or at least what goes on according to a slightly demented mind (that of writer Nancy Pimental who wrote 63 episodes of South Park if that's any indication). Let me put it this way: I'm a guy who thought he had a moderately wild & crazy youth, but this made me feel like I've been living in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Kazowie! I found myself constantly thinking, "Did I just see that??"Although there's no explicit nudity, be prepared to see every possible suggestion of explicit sex in very funny ways. And I don't care what anyone says, the "stain on the dress" scene is a classic, as is the ...um, well, the scene where someone gets poked in the eyeball (and it ain't with a finger neither). These scenes, and others, are just so over-the-top ridiculous, it's as if "Sex and the City" got drunk and hooked up with "Airplane!" and this is their illegitimate offspring. Really, this movie doesn't just push the envelope, it bumps & grinds that envelope and fills it with bodily fluids.The story, believe it or not, is pretty interesting as a romcom and packs some good plot elements and a good twist or two. Cameron Diaz plays a "party girl" who starts thinking about settling down. Or is she just chasing after what every party girl wants: the impossible? Christina Applegate plays her "wing man" while Selma Blair plays the "quiet one" completing a brilliant comedic trio.I have to admit, after the initial shock wore off, I really enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of something I once read on Urban Dictionary: "the definition of a slut - a woman with the morals of a man!" Touché.

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!
