I usually don't comment on these things, but I felt compelled when I read so many positive reviews about this movie. What movie were those people watching? This one was horrible! In one of the trailers for this movie, they say "If you liked 'Something about Mary' or 'My Best Friend's Wedding' the you will love 'The Sweetest Thing!' Like many here, I liked Cameron Diaz in those movies. 'The Sweetest Thing' , however, was nothing like either of those earlier films. Putting aside for a minute the raunchiness and bad taste, this movie had no story...the characters were shallow and downright disturbing...and the overall production - directing, writing, etc. was incredibly poor. The only redeeming quality about this movie was the brilliant casting of bit players Parker Posey, Jason Bateman and Georgia Engel. If you liked "Something about Mary" or "My best friend's Wedding" then rent 'em again and enjoy. THEY were really funny movies. "The Sweetest Thing", on the other hand, was the biggest waste of time and money. If I only wish I had both back!
