Reviews for The Sweetest Thing
Top CriticIt made me laugh. And in a film like this, that is the only defense for liking it.

So many fizzling gags that you’ll think you’re watching a failed fireworks display set off in a torrential downpour.

...'forgettable' is one of the best things one could call this film.

The overriding effect of watching these actresses debase themselves is the cinematic equivalent of a motorway car wreck.
08/13/02
What this film really suffers from is a lack of inventive writing.

The Sweetest Thing wanders into such ironies and shoddily exploits them. The title is even a bad joke: This movie is to sweet as a dog is to a hydrant.

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.

It's deep-sixed by a compulsion to catalog every bodily fluids gag in There's Something About Mary and devise a parallel clone-gag.

Top CriticFemale 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.

Una especie de There's Something about Mary pero que no termina de cuajarse en algo concreto y termina siendo una... una... una ¡no sé qué es lo que termina siendo!
07/22/02
The film's occasional flights into the absurd -- like an extremely compromising situation devolving into a group sing-a-long -- are real howlers. But the rest of this flick we've seen before.
04/12/02
Fundamentally ugly in its supposition of normalcy in its uncreative, sex-starved protagonists.
08/25/02
A fast, funny, highly enjoyable movie.
