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.
07/20/02
Top CriticThis picture is one of the flattest, stupidest, unfunniest sex comedies -- as well as one of the worst all-round pictures -- I've ever seen.
04/26/02
Top CriticSeems to have been assembled (at short notice, with blindfolds on) by people who have never seen any movies outside of Cameron Diaz vehicles.
04/16/02
Top CriticLoses its sense of humor in a vat of failed jokes, twitchy acting, and general boorishness.
04/16/02
Top CriticThe Sweetest Thing has nothing insightful to say about relationships, and nothing funny to say about the singles scene.

Top CriticRemember the movie critic Sony invented to give their films good reviews? Not even he would like this movie.
04/12/02
Top CriticBound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time.
04/12/02
Top CriticClever packaging of boy fantasy and girl fantasy.
04/12/02
Top CriticEssentially a collection of bits -- and they're all naughty.
04/12/02
Top CriticA bunch of intermittently amusing sketches that collectively don't add up to much of a picture.
04/12/02
Top CriticAt 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.
04/12/02
Top CriticThe 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.
04/12/02
Top CriticAn awkward hybrid of genres that just doesn't work.
04/12/02
Top CriticIt'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.
04/12/02
Top CriticLacks original humor.
04/12/02
Top CriticThe 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.
