It's not great or inspired by any means, but it's cute and amusing enough.

Call it a younger, West Coast cousin to Sex and the City, or There's Something About Mary from the woman's point of view.

Just when you think it's going to be a sappy chick flick, The Sweetest Thing surprises with a lewd joke or half-naked girl.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
All right, so it's not a brilliant piece of filmmaking, but it is a funny (sometimes hilarious) comedy with a deft sense of humor about itself, a playful spirit and a game cast.

What's most wonderful is that all the heartless, cruel cads are played by women, and the seemingly sensitive, prey being stalked are played by guys.

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

A silly, sophomoric and often rather funny and cute tale.

A slick bit of often-entertaining vulgarity that just may click with its intended audience.

Has some valuable insights into the dating world to go with its outlandish comicality...one of the biggest delights of the spring season.

Top CriticBound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time.

Clever packaging of boy fantasy and girl fantasy.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Director Roger Kumble offers just enough sweet and traditional romantic comedy to counter the crudity. And there's the inimitable Diaz, holding it all together.
| Original Score: 7/10
A cheerfully twisted, energetic chick flick that simply does not waste time taking itself seriously.

If Diaz wants to keep panty-dancing in movie after movie, who am I to complain?
Though many of its grossest moments draw groans rather than guffaws, and a few yawns, Sweetest is occasionally and audaciously funny.

The film has has the trappings of your typical chick flick, with the requisite female bonding and pop-ditty soundtrack. But the unexceptional story is dotted with enough moments of sheer hilarity to set it just above its estrogen-oozing ilk.
