It made me laugh. And in a film like this, that is the only defense for liking it.

Reviews for The Sweetest Thing
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 is a goulash made of leftovers that weren't good to begin with.
04/16/02
Seems to have been assembled (at short notice, with blindfolds on) by people who have never seen any movies outside of Cameron Diaz vehicles.

Top CriticA silly, sophomoric and often rather funny and cute tale.
04/16/02
A slick bit of often-entertaining vulgarity that just may click with its intended audience.
04/16/02
Loses 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.
04/15/02
Top CriticAny similarity between the characters, persons, institutions or events in this movie and those, living or dead, in Sex and the City is purely coincidental because the folks who made this movie couldn't pull it off no matter how hard they try.
04/15/02
A coarse and stupid gross-out.

Sewer rats could watch this movie and be so skeeved out that they'd need a shower.
04/15/02
There are remnants of romantic comedy, but they are obscured by gross-out humor.

Diaz wears out her welcome in her most charmless performance

For the most part, The Sweetest Thing left a sour taste.
