The Sweetest Thing

UK Release Date: 30th August 2002

A girl finds she is forced to educate herself on the etiquette of wooing the opposite sex when she finally meets Mr. Right (www.imdb.com).

Director: Roger Kumble (Cruel Intentions)

Starring: Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Selma Blair

There's nothing sweet about this thing. This movie is derogatory to women. Cameron Diaz is part of a hapless trio of single women who're looking for Mr. Right Now, rather than Mr. Right. They're a bad influence on their viewers. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate float their way through a loose. mediocre storyline; a trip to see Diaz's (potential) love of her life, and once and for all grow up. Silly, cumbersome acts are played out, including Diaz getting a dick in the eye, Blair ending up with a (particular) piercing stuck between her teeth and the three of them pretending to orgasm in a restaurant, which then turns in to a cabaret act. None of this drives the storyline, but instead furthers their incomprehensible attitude towards life in their 30's. Ridiculous.

1/5
